General Marina, commander of the Spanish forces In Morocco, has received a letter from the Moorish chiefs warning him that the only way of avoiding a bloody war is by the withdrawal of the Spanish troops from the territory In dis pute. According to the latest dispatches the Moors In the fighting yesterday made a series of fierce attacks at several points along the Spanish line, with the evident object of cutting communication between Meliila and General Marina's camp at Allalayou and of isolating the stores in the station at the extremity of the Span ish position. The Moors advanced steadily along the railroad, but were driven back by the artillery. The gunboat Martin Alonzo Pinzon bombarded the enemy, but was forced to fire high In order to avoid hit ting the Spanish forces. The Moors em ployed modern and daring tactics.

A ' special meeting of the Cabinet was held at the.

LATTER MOST PROBABLE Bourgeois Expected to Decline, but Briand Would Accept and Re build Cabinet, Which Clemenceau Wrecked. . PARIS. July 21. President Fallleres tomorrow will offer the Premiership to Leon Bourgeois, ex-Minister of foreign Affairs. This decision was reached late tonight, but, as M. Bourgeois is not expected to reach Paris from Hamburg until tomorrow, his attitude with re gard to the appointment is not known. Parliamentary circles, however, foresee that he will decline the honor, as his health Is far from robust. M. Clemenceau, the ex-Premier; M. Duboska, President of the Senate, and M. Brisson, President of the Chamber of Deputies, have counseled President Fallleres that M. Briand, Minister of Justice and Worship, is the most avail able man after M. Bourgeois, and it is understood that M. Briand is the Presi dent's second choice. Would Rebuild Old Cabinet. Although the temper of the Senate Is described as rather cold toward the ele vation of M. Briand, the attitude of the Chamber is said to be emphatic If he Is named Premier. It is expected that he will immediately reconstitute the Clemenceau Ministry with Clemenceau omitted, and follow up the same pro gramme of reforms. On account of the Importance of the elections in 1910. M. Briand, like his predecessor, would probably select the portfolio of Minister of the Interior and few shifts In the previous Cabinet are anticipated. M. Calllaux. Minister of Finance, who is directing the battle for income tax and old-age pensions: M. Cruppi. who Is plunged In the tariff; M. Pichon, whose foreign policies sat isfy the Republican "Bloc;" M. Vivlanl, Minister of Labor, and M. Ruau, Min ister of Agriculture, are all slated for retention, although the reappointment of Mm. Picart, Picard and Mellies-La-Croix, respectively, to the portfolios of War, Navy and Colonies is less cer tain. . Clemenceau Sought Own Fall. On the other hand, should M. Bour geois accept the Premiership, the per sonnel of the Cabinet would be more difficult to establish, but It is believed his incumbency would not affect the Government's policies. The political world remains complete ly stupefied at M. Clemenceau's action yesterday. No one can believe that a campaigner like Clemenceau did not realize what he was doing, and for this reason many advance the theory that he deliberately planned his own down fall. The general opinion Is pictur esquely summed up ty Henri Roche fort, editor of the Patrie, who says: "Clemenceau had overthrown so many Ministers that he believed it proper to overthrow himself. He committed sui cide yesterday by firing several phrases at his own head." Three Old Members Stay. It is now assured that three members of the old Cabinet will be retained in the reconstituted Ministry, but aside from the question of personnel, the govern ment advisers are principally concerned in re-solidifying the Republican "bloc," in order that its policies may be con tinued both at home and abroad. It is generally believed that if M. Bourgeois. ex-Minister of Foreign affairs, can be induced to accept the task of forming a new Ministry, a speedy solu tion of the crisis can be reached. The members of the Right, which In cludes the Royalists and the Catholic ele ment, are Intensely pleased with the overthrow of M. Clemenceau. but are not likely to profit greatly by the present situ ation. Aside from. M. Bourgeois,!! the only possible combination having more con servative tendencies which has a chance of succeeding is one with M. Poincaire as chief, and M. Delcasse as Minister of Marine. This combination results chiefly from the promfnence M. Delcasse took in the events leading up to M. Clemenceau's downfall. The element favoring extreme protec tion is pressing for the choice of M. Mil ler, and as Premier, recalling his activ ity while Minister of Commerce, in be half of the protective industries of France. CONDENSED NEWS BY WIRE Bartlesville. Okla.
