The Paris correspondent of the Times announces in Friday's paper
that a despatch has been received from General d'Amade " reporting the great effect produced by the defeat of the Madakra." General d'Amade states that Mulai Hafid has made overtures for an armistice in view of peace. General d'Amade forwarded the proposal to the French Diplomatic Agent, considering himself to be con- cerned only with military affairs. The Temps declares that Glaui and Mtuggi, chiefs of the Atlas tribes and the principal supporters of Mulai Hafid, have made a formal offer of sub- mission. If these chiefs despair of his cause, it is not sur- prising that Mulai Hafid is preparing for himself an avenue of escape from a too difficult position. Probably be is unable to pay his army. But we must remark that even the failure of Mulai Hafid would not bring Abd-ul-Aziz much nearer to Fez. Meanwhile a new Sultan has been proclaimed in the South,.-Big Soos, who appears to enjoy great influence in those parts.
