Reserves were rushed to the

and Notifications were hastily
flung up. All night long wagons
and carts rumbled out Of Bilbao
toward the front with supplies.
British Ships to Leave
Meanwhile, the British govern
ment was reported to have
ordered all British ships to leave
here at the first possible moment.
A message to this effect was
said to have been received by the
British consul from Foreign Sec
rotary Anthony Eden, after the
swift advance of insurgent troops
commanded by insurgent Gen.
Emilio Mola.
The Basque defenders, it was
said, were pushed back more than
4 miles in seven hours.
Fears were expressed Of a posi-
BILE heavy bombardment of Bilbao
by insurgent planes and artillery
at any moment, and it was pointed
out British ships in the port in
such an event would be gravely
endangered.
Town Still AbIaZe
The town of Amorebieta, previ-
ously captured by the insurgents,
was reported still blazing-half its
houses blackened ruins and the
rest rapidly disintegrating.
The insurgents succeeded in dis
lodging the LoyaliSt Santander
battalian from Mount Gondra,
south of Mount Jata, on the Bis
cay front. AS a result, part Of the
Basque troops holding Mount Jata
were withdrawn.
Insurgents also are expected to
push to the west toward Galda-
cano, q maneuver which would
threaten communications and a
force of Basque trops estimated at
10000 men entrenched in positions
south and southeast.
