REBELS WARNED BY BRITISH GUNS Volley From Warship An- swers Air Bombs Laid to Spanish Fascists. By the Associated Press. GIBRALTAR, July 23.—British naval guns boomed off this famous rock today in grim waming to reck- less Spanish Fascist air rebels. H. M. S. Wild Swan, a British de- stroyer, sent out a “warning” volley oft Tarifa, Spain, in answer to air bombs which splashed close to the ‘warship's bows. Simultaneously, British naval au- thorities warned the rebel chieftains they must cease their “deliberate and irresponsible bombing of the shipping straits” near the rock. Britain and France joined, too, in telling the Liberalist Spanish govern- ment to keep its fleet out of the in- ternational harbor at Tangier, 1 the Moroccan side of the narrow passage. Refugees arriving in Gibraltar to- day said they feared a serious epi- demic was imminent in the La Linea vicinity. More Than 100 Killed. More than 100 persons were killed there, many more wounded and thou- sands of cattle and other animals left to starve. A report from Ceuta, Spanish Mo- rocco, said the rebel chieftain, Gen. Francisco Franco, was dispatching 500 members of the Foreign Legion across the straits to Algeciras, en route to Malaga, to fight 20,000 Liberalist gov- ernment supporters. Ten thousand residents of Malaga were said to have fled to the hills. The aviators, presumably rebels, were stated to have dropped a num- ber of bombs which exploded close to the Wild Swan's bows. After delivering an answering fire, the British warship returned to Gi- braltar. Spanish Officials Warned. Previously the local authorities had waraed the Spanish, whose artillery fire struck the rock yesterday, that the British did not intend to have such incidents repeated. The acting governor of Gibraltar protested to Gen. Francisco Franco, Jeader of the rebellion, against rebel planes flying over Gibraitar after loyal commanders of Spanish war- ships had been given a warning. The governor said flying over the fortress and its vicinity was in con- travention of international treaties. Capt. J. Ripley, assistant military secretary to the governor, boarded the Spanish cruiser Cervantes, which was flying the admiral's flag, and de- manded to see the senior officer com- manding the squadran. , A petty officer appeared, declaring he was the commander. Captain Ripley insisted on seeing the flag officer and was conducted to the com- mander, who was under arrest. Disclaims Responsibili Replying to the formal v\arnmg, the commander stated he was no longer responsible for the ship but informed Ripley the petty officer was in charge. | Shortly afterward the squadron | steamed in the direction of Malaga. | Anti-aircraft batteries aboard the‘ Spanish warships yesterday fired on | rebel airplanes which bombed the | loyal vessels, some of the shells fall- ing on Gibraltar.

When the loyal | men drew nearer to the bridge (before | Guadalajara), the rebels opened fire with machine guns. ‘Real Fight' Is Begun. “The artillery fired 20 volleys and the real fight was begun.

They were taken to the Red Cross Hospital at Alcala de He- | nares. | “The artillery laid down & box bar- rage ahead of the fleeing rebels. “Meanwhile our machine guns, rifles and tanks swept the bridge and the | railroad station. Occasional shots 1 reply were fired by the rebels and sev- eral more men in our ranks were wounded. “Still the rebels refused to surrender. “Our field pieces were silent for a while, but all at once they began a rapid fire toward the town. We in-| creased our rifle and machine gun fire. “We came nearer the rebels. Our men held their ranks, defying the in- | tense fire directed against them, “We could see with our field glasses how the buildings of the town were destroyed. Loyal Men Cross River. “Then our loyal men crossed the river. “They marched through it with the water reaching their necks. Our line was 3 kilometers (about 2 miles) !onz as we faced the railroad station. “We had had no rest for three days. —Copyright, A, P. Wirephotos.

In Madrid, organizationd of the Leftist popular front took over several buildings for defense pur- poses. The armed militia established head- | quarters in the former radical Re- publican Club at the Puerto Del Sol.

The gavernment airmen who rained bombs on several airdromes said they had destroyed rebel fuel stores, keep- | ing Fascist planes on the ground.

Small groups of rebels were re- ported within several hundred miles of the capital. The government was confident either of annihilating them or driving the insurgents far from Madrid. Luis Companys, Catalonian leader, announced a loyal column had left Lerida to attack Zaragoza. A force left Madrid for Segovia and from there to Zaragoza. _§ROOF EXPERTS Have us repair any leaks in jour reof. It will save you many dollars! x FERGUSON 3831 Ga. Ave. COL. 056 CONSTIPATED?
