REBELS OPEN FIGAT CLOSE T TNGERS lnflbrnational Complications Feared if Tribesmen Attack City. BY WILLIAM E. NASH. By Radio to The Star and Chicago Daily News. TANGIERS, September 2.—Diplo- matic representatives here are seri- ously alarmed at the news of an out- break and skirmishing with Spanish troops within 20 miles of Tangiers, on the road to Tetuan, Several tribes, which are nominally subject to Raisuli, the native chief who was tried In Spain for rebellion, have thrown in their lot with Abdel- krin.

The initiative remains almost constantly the hands of the Moors. It ap pears to be the basis of present infor- mation that the miiitary government of Primo Riv is proved as help- less toward solving the muddle as any of its civilian predecessors. With « modern army of 160,000 men, including infantry. artillery. valry and aviation, aided by war- ships und well equipped supply trains, it is trying to subdue a mountainous strip of territory some two hundred miles long by forty miles wide in the face of well organized Moorish horde of 50,000 irregulars. Complieations Feared. are two fronts, the east and centering, respectively. about Mellila and Tetuan and no commu- nication save by sea. Fighting oc- curs either between small bodies of from ten to fifty men intrenched in biock houses or between flying col- umns of five to six hundred Spaniards and stronz tribal aggregations of Moors. The latter, led forccd back the west front to a line from Tau south to Tetuan. The weak post of this line is the city of Nauen. or Cheuta, which is holy to the Moors. It is oc- cupiéd by a large Spanish garrison, which is cut off from bases of sup- ply. This city periodically has to be revictualed and rewatered at the cost of great effort : What seems to handicap Spanish progress most is the lack of roads. Save between Tetuan and other large citles, not a cart track exists any- where. This, added to graft and in- competency and the extremely diffi- cult topography, apparently is one of the main causes of the Spanish fiasco.

Sprinkle of the Po- lice Department, three deputy United States marshals, a private of the Police Department and 10 others. merson, representing 0. C. ericks, one defendant, charged that the prosecution was seeking to re- move the defendants “to a place for trial where they are not known, and more cspecially where Hickey is not known.” John J.
