Moors Victory Described as Easy At Mount Abarran
Dispatches from Melilla recount the Mount Abarran disaster on June 2 where Spanish troops faced a dense vegetation hide site. Lacking recon, they were surprised by Moors and mutinous native police, with over 300 casualties and loss of arms. Reinforcements from Carniola and Melilla helped cover the retreat. Deserters from Spanish and French forces are said to strengthen Moor ranks.
