 Many drivers escaped into British territory.
 The area here was more quiet this morning. Work people from La Lines were permitted to enter Gibraltar provided they hel-:. their hands over their heads as they approached the heavy barbed wire obStructions erected during the night and un- derwent scrutiny by the British frontier guards.
 Refugees in Gibraltar
 Five thousand refugees crowd Gib- raltar. So congested are the streets that it is almost impossible to walk Hundreds of refugees slept outdoors last night though the government did all it could to shelter them ano opened many old barracks for them
 The admiralty tug Noel Birch brought 50 Britons and @ number oi Spanish refugees from Marbella near Malaga, last night. They re- ported that Malaga was in govern ment hands, and not, as reported, ir possession of rebels.
 Casualties Unknown
 Hendaye, French-S Spanish From. tier, July 21-(U.P0 - Responsible estimates Of casualties in the Span ish rebellion remained impossible today. Travellers arriving from Barcelona to many points reported from 2,000 to 5000 wounded ol killed in a two-day fight there which left the government victor ious. Tn fighting at La Linea, in the far south, Sunday, refugees report ed 200 killed. Government sources reported 1l0 killed in a fight al Algerciras. But there has been fight ing at many points and recollectioni of the much less serious revolt oi 1934-in which 1,400 killed were ad. mitted offlcially-led to the certain. ty that the death list in this one would prove nlgh.
 Bombed From Air
 Rebel positions have ben bombed from the air and shelled from the sea in Spain and Morocco. For tho present 1t was possible only to re- count reports of casualties as they penetrated the censorship. Police here officially denied as perfect noncsense' reports that they had estimated 2b,000 already killed ir Spain. We have not estimated the dead, nor have we heard of refu- gees making any such estimateg, said police spokesman. '~rhey have iIi any event. From our information we judge that the 2S,000 figure iS a gross exaggeration."

The driver became fearful ot being attacked. He rpeorted that he had been trailed by two men and threatened if he didn't turn back.
 An H. I. Smith company truck enroute from Meriden, was halted shortly afterward near the railroad station, according to a report made to Superintendent Roach, but the driver was allowed to proceed when he explained that he belonged to another uinion."
 The superintendent said 1t was not the intention of police to interfere with the strikers 50 long as they conducted themselves peaceably. Evidence that a driver had been threatened with bodily harm, how ever, or that attempts had been made to physically interfere with the deliverance of load, would lead to immediate police action, he said.

 Long live spainl Long live the republicl"
 This was further indication that, as forecast. the rebel move was one of the generals to imposo right wing dictatorship and not one to restore the monarchy.
 Two Days Before Battle
 It was believed here that 1t might be several days before the decisive fight between rebel and government armies occurred.
 The government announced Q 40- hour suspension of operation Of stock and other exchares. banks, commerce and credit throughout Spain, effective as from yesterday morning. A moratorium was de" clared on commercial payments. Withdrawals from bank accounts were limited to 2,000 peSetaS (27O) m each instance.
 Government sources said that after the suppression of the rebel outbreak in Madrid yesterday bodies of 18 officers were found at Mon- tana barracks, suicides.
 Judging from the wireless station fight between rebels and govern ment, the rebels have full power in the provinces of Seville, Cordoba and Granada in the far south.
 Rebels Claim Strength
 The rebels claim that they have great strength in Galicia, in the northwest, and that the 16,0o0 ton battleship Jaime I, with a comple- ment of 854 men and mounting eight 12-inch guns, had arrived in Vigo Bay on the northwest and joined the rebellion.
 Rebels assert that the army li faithful to the government only in the Madrid and Barcelona areas Their own strength, the rebels say is increasing each hour as addition al garriSons revolt.
 It was indicated that fighting hao spread from other parts of the country to the northwest. Wireless communiques said that Q force o1 left wing government adherents left for an unknown destination ir motor trucks, seeking battle with rebels.
 Wireless War Is On
 An important part of the rebel. lion was the wireless war. Rebel anc government agents broadcast con flicting claims and the government tried to blanket rebel stations Rebels were emphasizing the left wing angle, and even said that tht government was disarming the civi Euardsmen, who have done much fighting on the government side The statement was added that tht civil guavds were dlsarmed 50 that their weapons could be given N communists.
 Uncensored reports indicated tha' many railway workers were strik' ing. Trains between Lisbon anc Madrid, for instance, were held uI and travellers were stranded.
 Confusion still made 1t impossible to estimate the exact situation ai between rebels and government and to permit responsible esti' mate of casualties.

 The planes flew northward to meet Q formidable rebel army advancing on the capital from Burgos, and met 1t at Aranda de Fuero, 90 miles north of Madrid. The attack was Q cor1- plete surprise, the government as- serted, and caused numerous casu- alties. Machine gun and bombs were used against the rebels in a brisk bombardment. Confident that 1t has the strength to win, the gov- ernment organized five strong col- umns and ordered them to start today to smash the rebels in the north.
