Then they fell In line behind the viceregal and royal parties, the whole making a procession of seventy colossal elephants. The parade started with the dragoons and horse artillery in gorgeous attire leading. The heralds and trumpeters, six English soldiers and six natives, clad in crimson coats, heavily braided with gold, followed. Just as the party arrived, a salute of thirty-one guns was fired from the fort. The Duke and Duchess received every honor from the Viceroy and chiefs. The chiefs were presented in turn to the members of the royal and viceregal parties. Afterward all the mounted elephants and set out for the great camp. No triumphal procession of the Moguls or the Hindu kings ever dazzled the Indiana as did this parade moving over a six-mile route through the city.

A few days of siege means starvation. The 8ultan may attempt to escape, but In thai en so Fez will acknowledge the pretender. "The Sultan's troops were disastrous* ly routed; the remnant fled to Fes. abandoning erery thing, artillery, tents, rifles, ammunition, money and stores. Practically the whole army was routed, as comparatively very few troops were left In Fes.
