(American News Service) Melilla, Sept. 29. Fighting between the Spanish and Moorish forces about the base of Mount Garugu -warn resumed at dawn today after a night made lurid by the names of burning villages. Detachments of Spanish troops with orders to apply the torch indiscriminately, lighted up the slopes of the mountain showing the Moors preparing for today's fighting. During the past seventy-two hours the firing has been continuous while the tribesmen tried to check the advance of the Spanish. Captain Fortesque of the United States army, who

is with the Spanish army as a war correspondent for the London Standard, having a very narrow escape from death when the fire of a detachment of Moors and a squadron of Spanish troops was directed upon him at 100 yards. A Stirring Adventure. Captain Fortesque and Col. Leads, another London correspondent, wandered to the left of the Spanish flank during some of the fighting, believing that more troops lay beyond them. At a kraal they dismounted, hobbling their horses and entered the stonewaltled enclosure to watch the battle. They, had unslung their blankets and were preparing to take some pictures when there was a roar of musketry and both horses fell dead. Captain Fortesque leaped to his feet and saw a detachment of twenty Moors not more than fifty yards away. The Moors had crept up without being seen and it was only by the luckiest chance that Fortesque and his companion were not instantly killed. The two correspondents leaped over the wall of the kraal and started to run towards the outposts of the Spanish lines, A company of Spanish Infantry which was advancing saw the Moors and, mistaking the two disheveled correspondents for tribesmen, poured a volley upon them. The Moors quickly ambuscaded themselves behind the stone walls of the kraal and Fortesqueand Lewis now found themselves between a crossfire that completely swept the intervening distance. They threw themselves upon their faces and crawled into the Spanish lines very badly frightened by their experience.

A BIG TOBACCO WAR

(American News Service) San Francisco, Sept. 30. The first step in a war for supremacy in the retall tobacco business of the United States was taken when Mose A. Gunst entered the stronghold of the United Cigar Stores company by purchasing a store in New York city. That the bitter war which has been waged on the Pacific coast will be transplanted to the Atlantic Seaboard with the roles of the fighters reversed, is the statement of Mr. Gunst, who says his action is taken with the avowed Intention of breaking the grip of the retail tobacco trust on the country. For several years prior to the fire of 1006, the United company had been warring against Gunst but made little headway. Confident over his successful competition against the United stores in the West, Gunst now seeks to wrest the control of the retail tobacco business of New York. Just how many stores will be operated in New ,Yorfc, Gunst had not decided. Within a year's time he will have five places open for business. It Is said ha and his associates are financially able to open 500 stores.
