Madrid, Sep. 25.-Los saltos
de Alberche, con una enorme co
lumna de aqua, salieron aver a
combatir a los traidores y I'm
contingente fascista fue arras-
trade por la fuerza del aqua,
muriendo muchos de ellos.
E. aqua de los saltos cubri6
un canpamento fasciS.a, dejan-
do sobre ell parque de guerra a.
cumulado una altura de mas de
diez pies. Mulas, caballos y mu
niciones de los facciosos fueron
arrastradas por la corriente.
Los fascistas que pudieron es
capar iniciaron una retirada de
sordenada, en- busca de lugares
altos para no morir ahogados.
Muchos de ellOs moriran por las

Todos los hombres disponibles
en- la capital han sido llamados
a las armas para contener a los
moros que marchan en- la van

 If this were true, a possible end- play might be executed. So, in- stead of allowing thetrick to ride around to her queen, declarer played the ten spot from dummy hoping that West held both king and jac, in which case she would still have a tenace position in clubs.
 When the ten held. the heart suit was started, the first trick be- ing won with the ace. The dummy was entered by playing a spade and then the heart finesse was taken.
 A small diamond was led toward dummy's queen, as West was prac- tically marked with the ace of dia- monds. West had to play 10 won this trick, or six odd would be- easy.
 When dummy's queen held, the remainder of the hearts and spades were cashed. West had to blank down to the ace of diamonds, to pro- tect the king of clubs.
 A diamond was played. throwing West into the lead. This forced West to play clubs and gave de- clarer six odd.
