The Spanish in Oran's region. During the second third of the 19th century many Spaniards went as farmers to make their fortune in northern Algeria. On June 11, 1881, the men of the Marabout Mohamed el-Arbi, known as Bu-Amena, attacked farmers who were gathering esparto in the Oranian agricultural fields of Khalfalia and Frendah, near Saida (Algeria). It caused panic among European emigrants. Many of them returned to their countries of origin. 9, 000 Spaniards did so between 11 and 22 June 1881. Alicante (Spain). Distribution of aid in the civil government of the province to the fugitives from Oran. Engraving. La Ilustracion Española y Americana, 1881.
