Noncombatants
Quit City
By THOMAS A. LOAYZA

ADRID, Nov. 81 UN.S).
While insurgents and loyalists
battled for control of University
City here, the United States cruz
ser Raleigh waited at Valencia to-
day for the last contingent of
Americans fleeing from Madrid to
board the ship for transportation
to Nice, France.
At the same time, while 100000
panic-Stricken men, women and
children poured from the be-
leaguered capital to seek safety
elsewhere, the leftist government
claimed new gains against the at
lacking insurgents.
An official communique said
the government troops continued
to repulse violent nationalist at
tacks," and added:
"The nationalist suffered
heavy losses when they were
obliged to withdraw from the
positions they occupied in Uni
versity City," ,- ,
Altogether II Americans from
here were either already in Valen-
cha or on their way. One con-
tingent was delayed by motor
trouble and sent word they would
not arrive. until later today.
Most of the Americans, with the
exception of the United States en-
bassy saff, will board the Raleigh,
which officials hope will be able to
sail for Nice today. The delayed
Americans were understood to
have spent the night in Abacete.
Among the refugees was Vincent
Patriarca, American-born New
Yorker of italian lineage. He was
the pilot of an inSurgent plane
shot down on the Santa Olalla
front by loyalist aircraft a month
ago. Others included Sosthenes
Behn, president of the 1nterna-
tional Telephone and Telegraph
Company in Madrid, and members
of his staff, who will set up their
headquarters at Valencia.
Early today the Radio Club at
Teneriffe broadcast an announce
ment that insurgent planes bonn
barded the naval base at Carta-
gena, stating the arsenal, port and
several ships were badly damaged.
A number of loyalist ships left
the base, pursued by nationalist
cruisers, the broadcast said.

British Cabinet
Summoned Secretly

summoned oecFetIy
LONDON, Nov. 81 d.N.s).
Fearful lest italy and Germany
precipitate an international Incl
dent by openly aiding the Spanish
insurgents, the British cabinet
held a special emergency meeting
today in Prime Minister Stanley
Baldwin'S room at the House OF
Commons to consider the gravity
of the international situation.
The call for the meeting took
the ministers by surprise. Minister
Of Labor Brown travelled all night
from Liverpool and other cabinet
members broke engagements and
fastened to London.
Secrecy was maintained regard
ing the exact purpose of the meet
ing, but the Foreign Office Is
worried over possibility Germany
is contemplating another sensa-
tional anti Communist move, pos
sibly in Spain.
British officials fear the Ger.
man-JapaneSe agreement against
Communism has wrecked the last
chance of bringing the Reich and
the Soviets together in q general
European peace agreement such as
Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden
has been hoping to obtain.
Whitehall circles expressed fears
a revival of the era OF alliances IN
Europe is now in prospect.
Britain is not yet satisfied and
expects q direct answer from Gen
eral Franco, who agreed to estab-
lish O neutral zone at Barcelona
only after eight British subma-
rines and the depot ship Cyclops
started from Malta for Spanish
waters.
The British government is irked
because Franco did not communi-
cate his decision directly to Lon
don, Instead, the military gov
ernor Of Majorca merely gave in
formation regarding the zone to
the rear admiral commanding H.
M. S. Arethusa at Palma.
British irritation with the In
surgents was voiced in a debate in
the House Of Lords when Lord
Faringdon charged InSurgent Gen.

 The industry has two plants in Waterbury, Conn, two in New Erie tain, three in New York city, and four in Pennsylvania, Senator Lon" ergan said. Most of the raw ma terial is supplied by Connecticut ir- dustries.
 Complaints of the industry are based chiefly on Japanese imports which has resulted in 70 per cent drop in employment in the Amer icail industry. They estimate, Sen. ator Lonergan said, that 6,0OO per. sons were employed in the domestic industry in 1885, and only 3,6OO are now employed. In Meadville, Pa, with 8 population of 18,000 persons, @ layoR of 2,l00 workers, and the bankruptcy of one company, was reported. Japanese imports for Jan. uary, February and March of 1886 were said to be nearly equal the irn- ports for the entire year of 1885.
 The tariff commission informed Senator Lonergan that the present duty of 45 per cent Is based on the foreign selling price, and that hear ings were held in January. 1886, re. garding the plight of American m. dustry. The product Is not involved in reciprocal treaties and an in- crease in the duty by presidential proclamation, based upon an early report by the commission, hes been urged. The commission has pointed out, however, that request of the in. dustry for an increased duty by June was impossible in view of legal TO. quirement for 30 day interval be- tween the proclamation and Its ef- fective date.
