MADRID, September war office communique today says: p to 11 o'clock last night no de s had been received | regarding yesterday's operations by the Spanish troops against the Mo roccan rebels. It is only known that the Spanish advance was carried out successfully with the enemy defend- ing himself tenaciously.

PARIS, September 24 (P).—A dis- patch to the Journal from Madrid says that the Rifflans on the west coast of the Bay of Alhucemas, after | their defeat lost heavily, are intrenching in posi- | tions prepared in advance with the object of blocking the Spanish ad- vance. The Spanish command ex- pects a reaction by the enemy, but has made arrangements to meet it The correspondent adds that the Spanish troops will take a three-day rest, after which they will continue their movement toward Ajdir, about four miles away. The capture of Ajdir, however, will not end the Alhu- cemas campalgn, for the warfare then will be transferred into the moun- tains. King Alfonso has sent congratula- tions to Gen. Primo Rivera, com- mander-in-chief, and Gen. Sanjurjo for the success of the operation. French Plan Big Drive. FEZ, French Morocco, September 24 (®) —The French troops are walting the zero hour for the next big push against the Rifffans, which it is under- stood will be from the eastern end of the battle line and in conjunction with the Spaniards, whose progress in the Alhucemas séctor is being fol- lowed with interest The troops have been well supplied with artillery, airplanes and tanks, and the arrangements are said to be s0 perfect that the high command is of the belief that the operations can continue until December, notwith- standing the rainy season. It is said in military circles that Abd-el-Krim evidently suspects a big offensive from the eastern wing, for he is con- centrating more and more of his | forces in the Kifane region. Groi of tribesmen led by Riffian regul have repeatedly attacked a block- house held by a force of Zouaves and Spahis near Kifane. It is asserted that they have been repulsed each time with heavy { losses. Buffalo Americans’ Emblem.
