Gen. Marina, commander of the Spanish forces in Morocco, returned here To-day from an Inspection of the outpouts. The General declares the Moors are displaying desperate courage and usiny modtrn weapons, lie predicts a long and hard campaign. ALGECIRAH. Spain.

July 22. The natives of the Souk region in Morocco are preaching a holy war. and are preparing to Join the Moors in front of MtllUa. Melilla Is the centre of a ranee of fortifications built along the Riff coast of Morocco in the seventeenth century in order to prevent the Moors from gaining a point irom wtiicn tney couiu again invade the Soanlsh coast opposite. There are valuable Spanish mining interests in the vicinity, which have been vastly improved of late by the cutting of new roads from the mines to the Tort of Melilla.

Ever since the trouble around Casablanca subsided the Moors in the vicinity of Melilla have shown a disposition to resent. the improvement of the Spanish mining properties, in spite of the fact that it gave employment to many- of them. Raids have been freauent and much property has been destroyed. The tribesmen who have been particularly active are known as the Kabyles. At ttie close of the Spanish-American war Governor of Melilla sold them, for his personal profit, several thousand Mauser rifles, which had been brought back to SDain from the West Indies.

This ac counts for the fact that the Kabyles are armed with modern weapons. For nearly twenty years the Kabyles opposed the French occupation of Al geria alone the coast ta the east. Kvent ually they were and since then they have continued to visit Algeria at harvest time and to spend the Winters in roving about the territory between the coast and Fez. Some of them have more or less permanent dwelling places in trie mountains, where one sees their little vn la pes. with red tiled roofs, perched on the hiKhst summits.

The Kabyles to be found on the plains, who have been working the Spanish mines. are hardly of the true stock, having in many. cases adopted Ku ropeait manmrs-and customs and having married roreign wives. The Kabyles are of Berber origin: they are also Mohammedans of the Sarinl sect. Ethnologists are fairly agreed that in some far-away age they occupied the whole country rrom Egypt to the canary lsi ends.

Besides being born soldiers, they inhabit a country that is filled with natural fortifications quite as impregnable as those, artificially constructed by the seventeenth century Spaniards along the coast. Herein lies tneir strength ana their danger. To follow them, armed with Mauser rifles as they are. into their mountain fastnesses would mean an ex pensive campaign and great loss of life. whereas if they can be Induced to attack the Spanish forts from the open, even though these works are obsolete as far as modern artillery fire la concerned, a few machine guns may make an invasion 01 ine mountain nomes 01 tne j.aoyies un necessary.

PATTEN SUPPORTS MARKET. Follows Wednesday's Selling by Buy ing and Prices Recover. Special to Tkt Sew York Times. CHICAGO, July 22. James A.

Patten is still a bull on wheat, be said this morning. He gave a demonstration of his belief by being the best buyer in the market at the break which was reported on early trades to-day. It was his position In the market which gave other buyers courage and caused a timely recovery In. prices Just when 00 per cent, of the trade ex pected the market to go to pieces. The occasion for the extreme bearish- ness on the part of the trade was the fact that the Patten house sold out about 4.000.000 bushels yesterday for September and December, and this gave rise to the belief that the bull leader had decided to retire from active trade for a time and let the market take care of itself.

July wheat broke about 3Vi cents, but the other deliveries did not decline as much aa was expected In view of the Heavy selling by the bull leaders yesterday. Later in the session all months rallied sharply. Hedging sales against Dur- chases of new wheat were responsible for much of the weakness In the current delivery. Bhorta took profits freely on the initial decline, helping to steady the market. Fluctuations did not cover a very wide range for any month except July, and net changes for the day were imalL Most of the news was of a bearish cant, especially that from abroad, but the selling had been overdone nnd values rallied easily on any good buying.

In tne latter part of the session reports of bushels of wheat taken for export at good prices neiped give the market a better tone. There Is a story that Patten sold out his big lines of wheat yesterday because he found that the Armour following was inclined to unload from a big lien of 15,000,000 bushels of September wheat every time a Little advance was forced la the market.
