J ' (American News Service) Lisbon, July 27. The Spanish soldiers cooped up in the beleaguered city Df Melilla, Morocco, which is surrounded by fanatic tribesmen "may be sacrificed to graft in the commissary (department of the Spanish army. Spoiled supplies and lack of proper service in the quartermaster's departtnent have proved defective to the Spanish forces. The troops in the last three days fighting outside the city regteatedly exhausted their ammunition and were compelled to fall back while the tribesmen advanced pouring in a destructive fire. A final attack may be made at any moment that will wipe but the Spaniards. The city was probably saved to the Spanish in the fightfog on July 23 by a handful of men guarding the advanced Spanish battery. When the ammunition gave out the tribesmen charged, capturing the sruni. : Troops stationed about the icannon to guard them had no ammunition and were driven back. Clamboring to the height of an obstruction and waving his flag above his head, a standard bearer rallied the forces and they charged back upon the Kaby9e men fighting with bayonets and clubbing with their muskets. The Buns were recaptured. "- Recruit For Mooes. , The Tribesmen' besieging Melilla are being reinforced hourly. It is reported that from 10.000 to 12.000 are now on .their way to join the beleaguering forces. The flames of fanaticism are burning all over Morocco today. The Mar- - abouts are in flaming the inland tribes and inciting them to march against the Spanish. , The Anjora tribesmen have uprisen and compelled the Spanish to cease work upon the great highway to Tetuan. Morocco. The Spanish cabinet is now face to (ace with a most serious problem. As a means of placating those who are opposed to the present war, the minister of foreign affairs has issued a note declaring that the present hostilities in Morocco are not a war but merely the protection of Spanish property against the tribesmen who , have arisen in insurrection. Severe Censorship. ; The censorship has been made more severe. The Madrid newspapers have been warned that they may print nothing save official dispatches which -have been passed upon by the proper authorities. Gen. Sanchez is now directing affairs at Melilla having succeeded Gen. Marina. The fighting force is being Increased to 40.000 active men.

Lawrence Roberts, Officer of The Law, Was Victim of Playful Antics of Two Inmates of Jail. ,

WOMAN HEARD SHOUTS OF THE CAGED JAILER But Before She Had Released Him Earl Huntington and Richard Fisher Were Well "In the Clear." "Good bye. Sam, see you later, maybe." ". ' And Lawrence Roberts.-turnkey and patrol driver at the city jail, heard the sound of shifting feet across the cement floor. He heard the noise as if from afar off, but none the less distinctly. It was a farewell given through a solid iron door and Roberts realized he was the prisoner and his charges of two minutes before, the jailers in this little drama. "Mort, O, Mort." yelled the turnkey in bis strongest bass. In at the desk the sergeant never heard a sound. Two dark shadows emerged from the whitewashed brick and with a dash were through tbe stable and into the alley. One went east at top speed and the other with a halting, limping run passed out onto Fifth street. The morning mist was lifting and passersby in the alley recognized the forms as those of . Earl Huntington and Richard Fisher. Shouts For "Mort. "Mort, O, Mort," shouted the turnkey, time and again. He called to women on the -rear porch of neighboring buildings, but they smiled ' and gave him a flinty stare. , But there was another woman close by to give a helping hand. Mrs. Roberts, colored,, had come to the barn to get water : from the hydrant. She heard the shouts of the turnkey and going into the jail released him from his involuntary imprisonment. Roberts chased into the alley and looked about, but the birds had flown. So rapidly did they soar from sight, that they had made good their escape before the alarm was spread. Now who was to blame? Somebody blundered. A Good Riddance. But Roberts says it wasn't his fault. and it looks as if he has the best of the argument. The escape of the prisoners does not count. -The absence of Fisher and Huntington is regarded as a good riddance. Somebody did not lock the door of the room in which the men were placed, and so their escape was easy. The city jail is fitted with two compartments on the lower floor. The smaller of the two is used as a drunk room and it was in this section Huntington and Fisher, whose home is at New Madison, O.. were lodged. When Fisher was locked uo last night, the hall door to the room had been left unlocked. The prisoners became aware of the fact end their escape was planned carefully. Door Not Locked. When Roberts took the basket containing their breakfasts into the jail, he supposed the hall door was locked, so neglected to lock the outside door. He sat down his basket of food and passed Into the large cell room, where the coffee cups are set. As soon as he entered, one of the prisoners dodged from the room in which they were, grabbed the solid Iron door and swung it to. So carefully had the thing been planned, a stick had been broken from the window sill previously, so the lever of the door was thrown into position and the stick placed under the hasp. That prevented Roberts from opening the door from the inside. The only thing (Continued on Page Seven.)
