FIERCE BATTLE
IS FOUGHT
IN FOG
Entrenched Radicals
Use Dynamite to
Beat Off Foe

DEHOBIE, Germany, Aug. 30,
GN.S0-A fierce battle fought in
the dead Of fog-bound night for
the possession Of Fort San Mar
cial, key to the Spanish govern
ment stronghold Of Irun. ended
today without result, and a few
hours later the Irun front was
quiet-momentarily at least.
Suspension Of the battle fol-
lowed a bitter inSurgent assault on
San Marcial. launched shortly be-
fore midnight and continued
through the small hours Of today.
But at 8 a. m. the entire front
was silent save for a single in
surgent airplane which bombed
San Marcial without causing dam
age.
The ominouS silence was accom-
panied by rumors the insurgents
had received artillery reinforce
ments and were preparing for an
intensive bombardment Of the
Irun sector, where for more than
three days they have unSucceSs-
fully sought to dislodge entrenched
loyalist troops.
There was one report the in
Surgents' vain efforts to take Irun
have been so costly in lives - their
casualties are estimated at more
than 400 dead and 1000 wounded
that they have decided now to
concentrate on artillery lombard
mentS in the hope Of forcing the
radicals to surrender.
The insurgents, after a day Of
fiercest fighting during which
they charged repeatedly at q hill
top church at San Marcial COM
manding Irun, only to be forced
back, resumed the assault at II
p. M, under cover Of darkness and
fog.
Reds Use Dynamite
For a time the situation Of the
radical forces seemed critical,
since they were short Of muni-
tionS.
Hand-to-hand fighting ensued,
while government troops also used
dynamite and bombs. The inSur-
gents were not strong enough to
dislodge the radicals, and the at
tack finally petered out.
It was reported that lot insur-
gent foreign legionnaires were
killed and wounded in earlier at
tacks.
