The fighting round Tangier goes on without any very marked

result, except that the Sultan's troops make no progress towards the subjugation of Hammam and his tribesmen. On Wednesday, the Sultan's soldiers made an attempt to dislodge the Angherites from their position, after burning all buildings and bush that might afford cover to the rebels. The attack was, however, met with great deter- mination, Hammam having at his disposal large bodies of well-armed men, and ultimately the Sultan's forces had to fall back in confusion. The fighting, however, lasted for five hours, and there are said to have been many killed and wounded on both sides. The European residents at Tangier are probably in no danger, but they naturally enough grow uneasy at the constant fighting.
