TRIBESMEN PUNISHED.

Spanish Cruisers and Forts Fire on the Moors at Night. Melilla, Nov. 16. —At 11 o’clock Sunday night the electric search lights of the Spanish cruisers Alfonso XII., Conde de Venadito and Melilla suddenly illuminated the whole country around, taking the Moors by surprise. A terrible cannonade was opened by the warships and the forts at the same moment. The terrified Moors could be seen running about like madmen seeking shelter in the caves. Many were killed.
