The city was hung with the red and

at 11:45 a. m.
Insurgent sources estimated about
half of the Spanish governments de-

in a 15-mile square trap in the coun-
try southeast of Santander, still I'M

Tales of anarchist terror in the
conquered city, of thirst and hunger

Fleeing men, women and children

The sea was the only exit from San
