REBEL FORCE FACES BXTINCTION- BEHIND WALLS OF FORTRESS f1,500 Beleaguered Men and Women Live on Horse Meat and Rationed Water Toledo, Spain, Aug. 12.—()—Be- sieged rebels, running short of food and drink, are living a grim war epic behind the ancient walls of a Roman Tortress on the highest of Toledo's seven hills. There are about 1,500 beleaguered men and women still holding out des- perately on this twenty-second day of their siege within the famous Alcazar. The fortress is bombarded by gov- ernment guns from the- land and machine guns from the air. Rations and ammunitions are ewindling rapidly. The little force knows it is lost unless rescued speed- ily. The besieged hope against hope that General Francisco Franco's army from the south or General Emilio Mola’s from the north will save them before starvation or lack of ammuni- tion forces surrender. The Alcazar has bean Spain’s military academy since 1887. Siege Began July 21 This rebel group took up its stand in the Alcazar and defied government troops entering the town July 21. The rebels took with them into the fort- ress several hundred rifles, a number of machine guns and about 3,000,000 cartridges. The besieged force is known to have ® quantity of hand grenades but probably no artillery. Six of the defenders who escaped from the citadel at night told of the severe shortage of provisions, > Eat Cavalry Horses The rebel force expected the siege to last only a few days. Facing hunger, the escaped men said, the rebels now are killing and eating cavalry horses. ‘Women are pounding corn and wheat to make a coarse mush for the fig! ers. The well of water in the fort- ress was said by these escaped sol- diers to be running dry. Each defender was limited to a pint of water a day. Finding it difficult to bury the dead, the rebel soldiers said bodies were dropped out of windows of the Alcazar at night. Officers of the besieging gov- ernment force said twenty-five of these bodies were found beside the et "MADE 463 MILES...
