By the Associated Press.
LONDON, August 18.-Confusion
over the situation in Mallorca, scene
of Spanish government assault on
rebel strongholds. heightened today
with a report that the rebels had
"exterminated" a government landing
party.
From Madrid, the government
claimed sweeping victories on the is
land, with trifling losses.
Today's report stated the govern
ment troops lost not only their entire
force, but also a field gun, 20 machine
guns and an armored car.
A government plane was reported
shot down and the crew killed.
The advices, received by responsible
quarters, said a communist uprising
followed the government attack in
Mallorca, but the rebels suppressed it.
At first the government landing
party entrenched itself in caves near
Porto Cristo, but finally was dislodged,
the report said.
Government ships were reported
standing off the island, and it was
considered likely another landing at
tempt might be made.

SAINT JEAN DE LUZ, France,
August 18-The story of how 500
screaming rebel hostages held by
Leftists burned to death at Bilbao in
a warehouse FIRE started by shells from
a rebel cruiser was told here last night
by sailors Of the German destroyer
See Adler.
Hundreds of others. the sailors said,
were burned horribly, but were being
given treatment with all the medical
supplies the destroyer carried, which
were left with authorities at Porto
Galete-the waterfront district outside
Bilbao.
The fire was started by explosive
shells from the rebel warship Espana.
which over the week end blew up
huge gasoline storage tanks after
heavily shelling the port.
Earlier attempts by rebels aboard
the cruiser Cervera to shell the stor-
age tanks were prevented when the
defenders lined up the rebel hostages
in front of them so that the attack
ers would have blown up their own
men with a direct hit.
Stalemated by the protective wall
of living flesh, the Cervera steamed
away. A rebel plane later the same
day attempted to bomb the tanks. but
its craftsmanship was faulty.
When the warShip Espana demol-
ished the tanks Saturday it could not
be learned whether the government
defenders had again lined up hostages
around them.
The prisoners used as the human
wall were brought from prison ships
and presumably were imprisoned in
dock warehouses which were made a
wall Of fame by the exploding
gasoline.
Refugees tonight reported that the
entire Bilbao water front still was
in flames.

Duel With Forts Guns.
The Almirante Cervera had engaged
in a fierce duel with Fort Guadalupe
displaying far more accuracy than did
the ESpana in yesterdays assault.
The ships were believed to have
scored several direct hits in the first
hour of firing. The fort replied twice,
but failed to find the target.
A large cross of Calvary, famous
landmark near the fort, disappeared.
1t was not determined whether the
cross had been struck by shell or
removed by loyalists, fearing it would
prove guide for rebel fire.

directly on San Sebastian, while the
Almirante Cervera concentrated on

NEUTRALITY PACT
PUSHED BY FRANCE
Reich'S Conditions Studied
in Effort to Conclude
Agreement.
~ the Associated Press.

PARIS, August l8.-The French
government, hopeful of concluding
agreement to neutrality in the Spanish
civil war without further delay, gave
earnest attention today to Germany's
conditions in accepting the pact.
While the German announcement
of adherence to the hands of" agree
ment was not yet published, informed
sources said its conditions we're:
The agreement must be signed and
applied by all powers producing and
exporting arms.
Differences between Berlin and
Madrid over seizure of a German
plane must be settled on a basis salts

Arms Shipments Banned.

with the proposal that cooperating
powers ban shipment Of arms to the
Spanish belligerents, presumably ap-
piled only to European powers.
Should the Reich insist it be in
voked on a worldwide basis, chances

ingly would face an insurmountable

barrier-due to probable non-partici-
patton by the United States and the
difficulty of lining up all countries
capable of exporting arms throughout
the world.
Dispute over airplane seizures was
believed narrowed to the German de-
mand for return of single plane, and
informed sources here believed the
French government would apply suffi-
cient pressure upon the Madrid gov
ernment to assure this.
Authoritative observers believed also
that the outlook was favorable for
agreement today on Italian reserva-
tions to the neutrality pact.
Nations Would Be Banded.
With Germany and Italy in the fold,
more than a dozen European nations
would be banded together in & pact to
refrain from any interference in the
civil war and to supply neither faction
with ammunition or arms.

condition-that the agreement must

Artillery fire was exchanged in
the Guadarrama Mountains, north
of Madrid throughout the night, but
neither force made any concerted at
tempt to advance and the lombard
ments caused little apparent damage.
Attacks continued on the Isle OF
Mallorca, in the Mediterranean, but
the government denied reports 500
loyal troops were killed and $50 taken
prisoner in rebel ambush there.
The loyalists insisted three COL
umns of their troops captured sew
eral towns on the island.
The war map would appear to give
rebels the advantage in the FIRST
month Of fighting, but the battle OF
greatest importance had not re-
sulted-a major advance on Madrid.
The northern seaboard cities, 1run
and San Sebastian, still held out
against Fascist attack, but with in
creasing hardship.
Capture of Badajoz, 2lO miles
southwest of Madrid, brought the
robel advance toward the capital

point, the southern port of Cadiz.

LOUISV VILE, KY, Nov. II
(INSO-Mrs. Verna Carr Tay-
lor, vivacious widow and the belle
of this section of the northern
rim Of the blue grass country, did
not fire the bullet which killed
her the night Of November 6,
Coroner D. L. Ricketts,, Of Henry
county, announced today.
Parrafin tests, the coroner said,
show she did not commit suicide
as contended by Brig. Gen. Henry
H. Denhardt, her elderly fiance,
who is at liberty on $4,000 in
bonds, charged with her murder.
The coroner'S statement was
made in response to the demand
of Beckham Overstreet, head Of
the legal counsel retained by
General Denhardt.
Ricketts, said he couldn't an.
nounce the results of a similar
test made of General Denhardt'S
hands because we haven't COM
pleted our analysis"
Lawyer Doubts Test
After a conference with his as
sociates, Overstreet declared to-
day:
eve don't think the parrafin
test is important. 1t will be
negative for the general, too.
We know perfectly well Den
hardt hasn't fired a gun for
six months.
"We're going to crack down
on the coroner today, make
him show us photographs .aken
at the autOpSy-phOtOgraphS
which will show perfectly the
position of the bullet wound
in Mrs. TaylOr's chest"
Overstreet also said he would
confer with Ricketts, regarding
re-exhumation Of Mrs. Taylor S
body. The coroner, however, said
he did not believe the widows
family would grant permission.
Mrs. Taylor's body was found
on a country road side, 600 feet
from the spot where the car OF
General Denhardt was stalled, a
few miles from La Grange. Near
her was the Generals .45-callber
Army revolver.
Witness Ridiculed
General Denhardt claims Mrs.
Taylor walked down the road and
that he was standing by his car
when he heard two shots.
George Baker, a farmer, who

feet from the General when the
second shot was fired, was ridi-

He said:
"Baker did not hear . second
shot that night. He thinks he
did because the suggestion .
second shot was fired was care
fully planted in his mind the
night Of the chOOting by General
Denhardt. 1t was a sort of sug-
gestiOn."
General Denhardt, a World War
hero, Lieutenant Governor Of Ken
lucky from 1923 to 1927 and ad-
jutant general of the State from
1881 to 1885, has been in seclusion
here since the serving of the muir

He and the widow were engaged
to be married after a whirlwind
