BATTLES CONTINUE WITH 25000 DEAD Great Powers Rush Warships to Spanish Coast to Rescue Nationals REBEL CHIEFTAIN WARNED Despite Government Claims, In- surgents Believed to Have Upper Hand (By The Associated Press) A report Thursday from Hendaye, France, said 100,000 Fascist rebels had started a march on Madrid. It was the seventh day of Spain's bitter civil war. A British destroyer, H. M. 8. Wildswan, answered rebel bombs off Tarifa, Spain, with a “warning” fire. Insurgent aviators were said to have dropped a number of bombs close to the Wildswan’s bows. Great Britain advised Gen. Fran- cisco Franco, the Spanish rebel leader, that “deliberate and irresponsible bombing of the shipping straits” off Gibraltar would lead to protective and retaliatory acts. Estimate 25,000 Killed Some border reports estimated as high as 25,000 those who had fallen in six days of fighting. Unconfirmed reports at Hendaye said government forces had recap- tured San Sebastian, the seaside re- sort in northern Spain where Amer- fean Ambassador Claude G. Bowers and other foreign diplomats have their summer residences. Shelling had started extensive fires in the city. Panic was reported among many members of the Spanish nobility and aristocracy at San Sebastian.
