The Paris correspondent of the Times, in a message pub-
lished on Wednesday, states that in an engagement fought on the 7th of this month at Dar-el-Ayad in Morocco, the troops of Abd-ul- A ziz inflicted serious losses on a meballa of Mulai Hafid. Abd-ul-Aziz, in fact, seems to be bestirring himself, and it is possible that he may yet resist his brother. At Fez Mulai Hafid's position is said to be less favourable. News has reached Paris that on the 4th he warned the foreign inhabitants that he could not guarantee their security. It would be a very interesting development if Abd-ul-Aziz were able to establish himself at Marakesh, the southern capital, towards which his forces are moving. In that case the con- flict between the brothers, each holding one of the capitals, would be further from a conclusion than ever.
