 WAY TO MADRID
(Continued from Page 1.)

meet B hastily iinprovised army of the left wing Asturias miners but there has been no sign of them. The news to rebel headquarters is that the miners, under the loyal army Gen. Caminero, were trying to cut off the rebel columns between Bur- EOS and Madrid.
 One group of the Asturias army met fascist volunteer outposts at zamora. Two companies of regulars reinforced the fascists. There was some desultory firing but, I am ir1- formed, no real fight. Rebels say that the miners could not face the regulars and fled in disorder.
 It is asserted that Gen. Caminero has made captive along with other officers who stood fast and that all were sent to Pamplona.
 Pamplona, though yesterday call- ed the advance" headquarters of the northern rebels, is today far from the rapidly moving columns proceeding toward Madrid.
 Followed Troops
 I arrived at Pamplona yesterday morning. Staff officers of Gen. Emilio Mola's headquarters at once gave me safe conduct which per- mitted me to follow the troops While awaiting passes for myself and my French chauffeur, and a motor car, I watched the Basque and Navarran rebel volunteers maneuvering in the public square. First came 800 local volunteers, then 8 dusty column of over 2,000 more from the Estella area, all fully armed and with full cartridge pouches. A staff officer told me that some volunteer companies were sent southward with the regulars but that the majority were left to guard lines of communications and prevent attempts at risings behind the rebel line of advance.
 Saw Many Loads
 I have seen on the roads lorry load after lorry load of these volun- teers passing toward San Sebastian or taking position in the mountain passes. The fascist control Navarro Province and south as far as Lo- grono (125 miles north-northeast of Madrid. The Spanish government admits rebel strength even farther south). Frontier guards, police and civil guards all are obeying Gen. Molla'S orders. Everywhere the fascist salute is given. The repub- lican flag has disappeared. Only the old Spanish colors, red and yel- low, are seen.
 Hendaye, French-Spanish Border, July 9. (UP)-Loyal troops dragged artillery to the mountain overlook ing San Sebastian today and shelled the barracks occupied by rebel lious infantry regiment of at least 1000 officers and men.
 The regiment, being infantry, has no artillery and was helpless against the heavy cannonading, during which hundreds of shells fell into the barracks.
 AS far as was learned none fell elsewhere in the city, which was be- ing rapidly evacuated. United States Ambassador Claude c. Bowers at last reports was still in the city.
 London, July p. (UP)-An ex- change telegraph dispatch from Lis bon said today that many commit nists who fled across the border from Orense said that Galician province is completely occupied by rebels.
 Portuguese officials arrested the refugees, who included the socialist Deputy Angel Gallarza.
 Seville, July 22. (UP)-Revolu- tionary planes bombed and sank three government warshipS which were bombarding Cadiz, Gen. Quei- DO De Llano, rebel chief in the south, announced today in radio broadcast.
