Reporting that he believed every American had been evacuated from San Sebastian, Johnson said: “Battle on edge of city continues and rebels said to be advancing, in which case terrible bloodshed will ensue.” The chancery at San Sebastian had been cut off from communication with the embassy at Madrid for five days. The State Department, at the re- quest of the Finnish government, is- sued instructions to all American consuls in Spain to extend protection to Finnish nationals and took the same action with respect to nationals of Cuba, Sweden, Belgium and Pan- ama. The American Consul at Vigo, Wil- liam W. Corcoran, reported that uni- formed, armed Fascists and others in that place had publicly insulted him, but that the military authorities had broadcast an apology as a result of his protest. ‘Without detailing the circumstances of the insult, Corcoran said Fascists and certaln of the military regarded representatives for foreign republics as enemies in the same category as ‘Communists. He asserted the situation in Vigo was tense, but believed the military authorities were willing and able to protect Americans. The battleship Oklihoma, after landing a number of American and other foreign refugees from Bilbao and Santander at Bayonne, France, steamed back to Bilbao, where the American Consul reported the city “quiet but nervous.” Nineteen American refugees arrived at Glbraltar from Malaga.

On the coast of Morocco, where the rebellion broke out, loyal warships destroyed several rebel transport ves- sels while loyal airplanes bombed re- volters’ positions, the government de- clared. Barcelona heard reports that loyal planes heavily bombed insurgent camps in the Balearic Islands, and that the surrender of revolters there was expected shortly. Censorship Rigid. Communications from Madrid were still poor and censorship rigid, but dis- patches from the capital, received by the Associated Press correspondent at Perpignan, Prance, said a column of 12,000 government troops were march- ing north along an open road to Burgos after smashing rebel opposition in thz mountain pass of Somo Sierra. (This was in direct conflict with Tebel headquarters claims at Pampona, which said the Fascist insurgents had won a victory in the Guadarrama Range). Armed recruits, some of them women, moved not only into the mountains, ‘where loyal artillery silenc- ed big rebel guns yesterday, but also marched toward Zaregoza, in the north; Seville, in the south, and other rebel hotbeds. Fighting was reported at a point 53 miles from Zaragoza, and Barcelona dispatches saild rival generals were negotiating for the surrender of the rebel garrison in the city. ‘The Madrid dispatches reaching Perpignan stated the villages tween Somosierra and Burgos, been taken over without resistance by the Loyalist troops, assault guards and Leftist militia under the artillery colonel, Cuervo Y Puig. Rebels Advance on Madrid. ‘Two other columns were reported marching on Segovia and Avila and the dispatches said two columns of rebels advancing toward Madrid from Navacerrada had surrendered.
