Jhittle Expected Today. (By Leased Wire to The Times.) Cusa Blnnca, Aug. 31. Tho battle between tho Moors nnd French troops yesterday was not decisive and an en gageinnct is expected today. The Moors stubbornly remain close to the French outposts and refuse to be driven away, notwlthtsanding hot shelling from the baitkshtps and tlie land fortifications thrown up by Gen eral Drude. . In yesterday s engage ment tlfteen Frenchmen were killed and a largo number wounded. The en gagement extended in a lino two mile i length and It Is estimated that ful ly ten thousand Moors were in front of the French lines. At times tho advance was so bold and so strong that, the Sappahis and Irregular Algerian cavalry found themselves almost In the center of a hollow Square. They fell back, sup ported by tho French. (Shells . from tho battleships were dropped among the hills whero the Moors are entrenched during tho night and the guns resumed their booming this morning. The Moor loss Is heavy. - Dead tribesmen aro piled in tho road ways and their comrades cannot so- '". cure their bodies, so general is the (ire.

Text of Telegram. (By Leased Wire to The Times.) Washington, Aug. .31. Every Cen tral American republic -has' responded favorably to the proposal of President Roosevelt, who acted in concurrence with President Diaz of Mexico, .that a conference bo held by representatives or the five' .republics with a view of reaching an .agreement upon . a plan for tlie perinliiieiit. conservation of i'ieaee; PLiplies from alK have been re ceived by the state department. ..'Guatemala's reply , Was the last to reach the department here. It came late last night and accepts the propo sition in. most cordial Terms. Infor mation th .I the provb'onal govern ment of Honduras 'had -accepted the proposition also reached Acting Sec retary of State Adee yesterday. Pre vious to that responses, said to amount to unqualified acceptance of the proposal, were received formally from Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Sal vador. ;" The action of Guatemala shows that th" Central American republics are a unit for tlie proposed peace negotlr. tions, and removes the last rema n ing doubts as to the success of .the preliminary negotiations. , , The text of President Roosevelt's tel egram, appealing to the presidents of the five Central American republics has been made public at the state de- ' partnient. It was accompanied by the statement that th? appeal ( prepared after consultation with .'Pci ident Diaz and alms toward full con currence with the efforts of tho M X- , ican executive to exert cordial m:it impartial influence in order to bring the Central American states toget itr in friendly conference, with a view to adjusting on a sound basis what' v r differences may be found to .tst among them. . . The pri'sident's message follows: "Washington, D. C, Aug. 28. "It is with great regret that I have received information indicating the imminence of disturbance of the peace of Central America. In view of the untold, -benefits of peaceful relations among your countries, not only to yourselves, but to America, and to the world at large, I am led by senti ments of impartial. "amity to co-operate most earnestly with the president of Mexico in lending most friendly In-. Iluence in the cause of peace and hu manity, us has been done before In similar cases. "A conference having been suggested between representatives of tho repub lics of Central America, I cordially tender tho good fifflces of the United States tow ard bringing about so .bene field a result, and I beg to assure your excellency of my-, desire and Willing ness to contribute toward the attain ment of peace, pi full concurrence with the president of Mexico. "I appeal to your excellency to aid in the realization of my friendly pur pose by refraining from any action tending to increase the dangers of the situation pending a further resort to the peaceful methods tf diplomacy. I am telegraphing in the same sense to the presidents of the other central American stales." The text of the replies has not been made public. The next step will be for Mexico mil the I'nlted States to dlspatc.li a joint, note, or perhaps an identical note. to each of the republics, inviting tliem to disclose their views ns to the best time and place for holding tho pro posed conference. It Is probable that this can bo ar ranged so us to obtain a meeting early next year, either In Washington or tits. City of Mexico. BIG BLACK SNAKE FOUND IN TRUNK.
