REBELS RETREAT TO SOUTH.
Try to Escape Trap in Coal Lands Of
Cordoba.

SOIuVUds
MADRID, April 3 P).-Insurgents
tonight set fire to forests and blew
up bridges to cover perilous retreat
in Cordoba Province on the Southern
Spanish front.
Apparently they we're trying to
escape a trap in the rich coal lands
OF the province. Annihilation Of
their force, reported in government
quarters to number $4,000 and to be
made up mostly Of Italians, was be-
lieved probable If government
maneuver succeeded.
The Cordoba reports indicated gov
ernment troops had reached the out
skirts Of Villaharta, Penarroya and
Ovejo-strategi towns between
Pozoblanco In Northern Cordoba and
the insurgent base Of Cordoba City
to the south.
Capture Of Villaharta would give
the government army control of the
Cordoba highway and cut of the in
surgent avenue of retreat.
Earlier reports said Villaharta had
been captured, but dispatches from
government headquarters at Andujar
said its fall was imminent" The in
surgent army has retreated IS miles
or more in southeasterly direction
from Pozoblanco toward Cordoba. The
trap laid by the government would
bottle it up some 20 miles north Of
Cordoba, important supply base.
Loyalists Advance.
Government troops pressed another
advantage on the Aravaca front just
northwest Of Madrid, advancing more
than a mile into territory held vital
to the defense Of the capital. In
surgent dead was set at 300.
In two days, troops Of Gen. Jose
Miaja, government commander in
Central Spain, have swept forward
212 miles in this sector, dominating
the highway to Coruna, long closed
to government traffic because of near
by insurgent positions.
The Aravaca advance was regarded
AS of great strategic importance since,
if successful, it would turn the in
surgents' flank and affect their posi-
tions in Casa del Campo, and in Uni
versity City, Madrid suburb, where
they have held out for months.
Government infantry, led by tanks
and grenade throwers, attacked the
insurgents Aravaca positions after a
long artillery bombardment. The Of
fensive followed series of advances
in the Escorial area on the same
front.
Gen. Miaja said copies of more than
1000 documents captured on the
Guadalajara front would be sent to
London, Paris and Moscow to prove
Italian Intervention in the war. He
said they we're from the general staff
of the Italian army fighting with the
insurgents.
