Hendayc, French-S Spanish Fron. tier, Aug. l7.--(UP) -Four rebel warships of Cape Figuicr began a bambardmens of the forts at Irun and San SebaStion today.
 The ships began the smelling despite a loyalist threat to execute 900 rebel prisoners in San Sebas- ton if the city is bombarded. The rebels were closing in on the be- leagured towns by land and sea and their fall was believed imminent.
 Rebels COnverging
 Three rebel columns were con- verging on the cities, One was op- erating within 800 yards of the French border in a surprise attack on the border village of Behobia.
 A ,storming party of 200 men reached the environs of the village and dug themselves in for a fight.
 The new rebel strategy was to capture Behobia, then to encircle the larger town of Irun, a key point in the whole vital area on the frontier, by following the Bidassoa river on the eastern side of town.
 This would cut communications to San Sebastian, farther west.

CIVIL WAR HAS
 COST HEAVILY
10000 Killed, l4,OOO on Wounded List; $7OO,.
 OOO,OOO in Damages
By RALPH HEINZEN { Copyright 1886 by United Prcss)

Copyright 1936 by United Prcss) Pamplona, Spain, Aug. l7.-tUP) Pour weeks of a civil war that grows more bitter cacl day have cast Spain in men 10000 killed and l4,O00 wounded, conservative esti- mates showed today.
 The casualties were summarized as follows: Killed or mastered in street fighting and in house to house nan hunts, l2,000: killed in battle or shot after surrender or court mar. tial, 5000; wounGed, l4,00O.
 It was estimated that at least 5000 military and civil prisoners are held in the crowded jails, plus 10000 hostages, chiefly non polit. ical and non military.
 S7OO,0OO,0OO Losses
 It is difficult to estimate the ma terial loss in the midst of the civil war. But conservative sources fix the approximate total at 5000. 900, . 900 pesetas--nearly $70O,O0o,0O0, or $25 100000 a day.
 It will take Spain many years to recover.
 But one example, aside from dam age to churches--the great bull breeding farms where by careful selection over a century breeding bulls have been bred that are much costlier than race horses. These breeding bulls are being slaughtered like ordinary cattle for food.
 As for the military situation, the rebels have held the offensive prac- tically from the start and are doing right now almost all the real aggreS- sive fighting that is being done.
