TOE MORNING OREGONIAN. FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 1907. October Delineator 15c La Vida, Nemo, Stnart Set,C.B. a la Spirite, W.B. Corsets, Exclusive Agents MOODS ROUTED BY SUDDEN MOVE from General Drude, commanding the French troops at Casa Blanca: "I am pleased to notify you that, thanks to a land fog. we hfve been able to surprise the Moroccan camp at Taddert. which was burned. The Moors were dispersed and fled to the hills, fol lowed by the shells of our artillery and effective projectiles from the Gloire. On our side one man was killed and six were Injured." fsjp 1 " I French and Spaniards Cap ture Camp and Utterly Destroy It. FOG COVERS THE ADVANCE Plans Based on Balloon Observa tions Carried Out to Perfection, iloors Burn the Surrounding Farms and Forests. CASA BLANCA, Sept. 12. (Wednesday.) The allied French-Spanish army today made a sudden and successful move on Taddert, where the Moors were massed In force. The camp of the latter was de stroyed by bombardment and the enemy was put to flight, leaving many dead on the field. The French lost one man killed and six wounded. The attack was carefully planned and was based largely on the observations of the Moors' positions from a military balloon. The allied army, which Was divided into two columns, left the camp at 8 o'clock In the morning, leaving several companies of Infantry to defend the base of Casa Blanca. The first column was composed of four companies of regular infantry, several companies of sharpshooters, a battery of artillery and all the cavalry. The second column con sisted of six companies of infantry and a battery of artilery. The march was skilfully carried out under the cover of a fog, until half way to Taddert, when the fog lifted and disclosed several large bands of the enemy. The allies then charged several large bands of the enemy at the point of the bayonet and, although the Moors resisted with their old-time courage, they were finally compelled to retreat in the face of a superior force and both of the columns of the allied troops advanced cn Taddert. After the bombardment of that place by the French artillery as well as by the guns of the French cruiser Gloire, which fired 75 shells, the allied Infantry advanced on the Moorish camp, where the enemy was making a last desperate stand. A short engagement followed and the Moors fled in wild disorder, pursued for several miles by the regular Algerian cavalry In the French service. The Moorish camp was completely destroyed. The exact loss of the Moors Is not known, as they carried away many of their dead. When the Moors saw their camp in flames, they set fire to all the farms and woods they could reach and the surround ing country was covered with smoke and flames. The Moors endeavored to circle rapidly in front of the advancing troops, with the object of cutting ofT and surrounding a section of the allied forces, but the at tempt utterly failed, largely on account of the rapid advance, which seemed to puzzle the Moors. When assailed from a long line of troops, the Moors retreated from the front, where many of them fell under the accurate fire of the field ar tillery and the guns of the Gloire. rt Drude Is "Pleased to Notify." PARIS. Sept. 11 War Minister Ptcquart today received the following dispatch REFERRED TO REFERENDUM Chicago Telephone Company's Fran chlso Laid Over. CHICAGO. Sept. 12. At the special meeting of the City Council this after noon, called for the purpose of taking action on the proposed extension of the Chicago Telephone Company's fran chise. Alderman L. H. Young, chair man of the gas, oil and electric light committee, declined to call the subject up. He said: "On September 3 our committee pre sented a report to the City Council. The report is based on decisions reached by the committee in its 20 months of toil, and it was my idea that the ordinance presented was a fair and Just one. It was my purpose to call it up today and put it on Its pas sage; but. in view of the unfair and unJUHt criticism of this ordinance in the public press and by citizens, I con cluded that the people should have an opportunity to study the ordinance and to pass on its merits. For that reason I will not call it up 'for consideration by the Council today." The next regular meeting of th City Council will occur on September 23. In the meantime, on September 17, the popular vote on a new charter for the City of Chicago will be held. In the event of the adoption of the charter, the question of extension of the fran chise to the telephone company will have- to be submitted to a referendum vote, under a provision of the charter governing public utilities. Will Not Hurry Appointments. SALEM, Or., Sept. 12. (Special.) There will be no meeting of the State Board this week or next week either, so far as Secretary of State Benson knows, for the purpose of naming successors to the su perintendent of the Insane asylum, reform school or Master Fish Warden Vandusen. He says he has had no consultation with State Treasurer Steel upon the subjec? for many weeks and no appointment has been made for such conference, and it may be several weeks more before any thing of a definite nature develops along that line. Secreary Benson has gained considera ble In weight as a result of his outing. Palma Has Quit Politics. HAVANA, Sept. 12. Ex-President of Cuba Palma. who is living on his estate at Bayamo, states that he Is keeping aloof from politics and Is devoting all his time to agricultural Interests. He also de clared that he was equally apart from all parties, and this statement is regarded here as of some Importance, as the con servatives have sent his salutations from nil their meeting.
