RED MOROCCO
MASSACRES AVENGED RIFFS SHOWN NO QUARTER WHOLESALE SLAUGHTER BY ORDER. (By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright.) Madrid, June 13. Advices from Tetuan state that as a reprisal for the terrible massacre they suffered at the hands of the Riffs at the time of the Spanish retreat from Sheshuan, the Akhmes tribe decapitated all the eaids appointed by Abdel Krim, throwing the bodies on dung hills, and displaying their heads in the market places. The chiefs of the Akhmes ordered all the Riffs and Jebalis in the district to be killed without mercy, and the order was immediately carried out. A Riff official appointed by Abdel Krim at Benedit, was arrested and killed as he attempted to flee, to the international zone with a large sum of money.—Sun Cable.
