 Loyallst soldiers held back ct first, lest the fierce miners ambush them.
 After the first move, loyalIst com- mAnders conferred for 10 minutes and decided to halt their men until they could see the effect of the planes bombs.
 They were not long in finding out. By 10 .. m. the great central bar. racks building was Q blazing spec tacle of beauty and terror.
 The heat of the flames drove the rebels to the lower storey.
 A rear guard which remained un. til the last moment maintained ma. chine gun, rifle and mortar fire.
 The attacking miners sought to take the barracks in the face of the fire, but suffered heavy losses.
 Flames Kept Coming
 The flames spread to the lower floors. The rebels had to abandon 1t and they fled to two nearby army huts, The flames followed them.
 At the windows of the burning huts then appeared the rebel sur. vlvors, shrieking from pain and horror.

 Sees No European War
 New York, Aug. 22.-(UP)-Thom. aS w. Lamont, partner of J. P. Nor. gan SS O., believes that Europe iS in no danger of c general war do. spite the tension of the Spanish civ. Ii war, he said today upon return from c l0.weeks trip through Europe and Africa.
 Financial circles attached unusual significance to his words. Members of the Morgan firm rarely speak for publication and the fact that La- mont called In reporters was Q Wall street event of importance. Morgan partners generally are credited with on intimate knowledge of European trends through the finger they keep upon tho continents financial pulse. Lamont played ono of the most prominent roles In the recent senate munitions industry investigation, defending himself and his colleagues against charges that danger to their interests in Europe played large part in in- Volving the United States in the World war.
 "it Is clear that 06 per cent of the people of every nation of Europe do not want to fight" he said. "They look on war with adherence and dread, just as we do.
 Therefore, while 1t is true that In many directions democracy iS Sell- Ing at Q heavy discount, I am one of those who believe that the men who rule the deStinieS of Europe will go very slowly in dragging their un- willing peoples into c major con- fiict."
