racks, where q large force Of in
surgents surrendered after four
hour honbardment by government
artillery and aircraft.
The ministry of the interior an
nounced several hundred rebel
officers are being held prisoners.
Most Of them were believed cap
tured in the Montana barracks
siege, however, rather than IN to-
days disturbance.
Loyal troops and struggling
armies Of radical farmers and Ia
borers streamed north and south
from Madrid today to meet q
rebel force Of $4,000 advancing on
the capital from Pamplona and to
diSlodge insurgents at Seville,
while government airplanes spread
death and flames in the heart Of
Barcelona.
In almost simultaneous an
nouncements, the leftwing admin
istration proclaimed that the
rightist rebellion had been com
pletely crushed" yet officially ad.
mitted that the rebels controlled
all Saragossa and Valladolid prov
inceS in the north.
Marches Collapse
Navarro Province and most OF
the southern tiers Of provinces
also remained in the hands Of the
revolutionaries, according to re-
liable unofficial reports. The
governments insistence that the
rebellion failed was based on
seeming collapse Of plans for
three marches on Madrid, one
from Navarro, one from Cata-
lonia, and the third from Seville.
Civil and assault guards were
dispatched from Madrid today to
check the Navarro forces Of Gen.
Emilio Mola, who has 1000 troops
and 5000 monarchist warriors
thrusting towards Madrid by
way of Burgos. His was the only
one of the three drives against
the capital that materialiEed.
One thousand loyal troops and
hundreds of armed civilians
headed for Seville, where the
rebels were holding the center
Of the city, and submarines were
ordered up the GuadalQuivir
River to lombard Seville.
Three government airplaneS
bombarded barracks at Barcelona,
setting several fires.
Officers Suicides
Deaths could be computed only
"high in the hundreds" as the
government would allow no off,
cial or unofficial estimates to be
transmitted until all reports are
in from various district COM
Manders.
French reports of $4,000 dead
were declared exaggerated. Two
hundred were reported killed in
Barcelona and an equal number
in La Linea, while Is officers Of
the Montana barracks in Madrid
ended their own lives after their
rebellion collapsed.
Madrid has been strangely ST.
lent since midnight after q day
of firing throughout the city.
Militiamen as we'll as scores Of
radical civilians who donned red
shirts and went about with re-
volvers, claiming to be firing at
Fascist sniperS on rooftopS, were
ordered to cease shooting, indicat'
ing that the government was far
from treasured by its own state
ment that the rebellion was
crushed, the militia and redshirts
were given the significant instruc-
ton to "save your strength in
case it is needed later"
General Mola'S column, the gov.
eminent asserted, was partially
scattered yesterday by bombing
airplanes from Madrid.
Rebels retreated in Segovia
province after a heavy aerial at
tack, the government said, and
the civil governors Of Cadiz are
holding out against the In
SurgentS.
Food Plenty
There Is plenty Of bread and
other food for Madrid, said the
official announcement.
Spanish Morocco Is also still ir
rebel hands, under the Leadership
of Gen. Francisco Franco, who is
now understood here to have re
manned in Africa instead Of going
to Seville.
The government confirmed the
death Of Gen. Jose Sanjurjo, for
mer rebel leader. who was killed
yesterday in an airplane crash al
CaScaes. Portugal, as he flew from
exile with the aim Of assuming
leadership Of the present insured
ton.
