BULLETIN.

PARIS, June l8 (Pi.-The Basque
government delegation in Paris
charged tonight that Great Britain
had Withdrawn protection from
merchant ships which have been
evacuating the civil population Of
Bilbao
The Basques said that all means
Of escape from Bilbao were now
cut, with 10000 non complaints in
urgent need OF relief and only
10000 evacuated.
By the Associated Press.
HENDAYE, Franco-Spanish Border,
June l8-Two divisions of Basque
defenders fell back to their rear
guard positions west of Bilbao today
to keep open the road for retreat to
Santander as the government fled the
never conquered northern capital.
Meanwhile, in the eastern suburbs OF
the city of Mount Archanda. the leg
weary rebel troops came within sight
of Loyalist snipers and the fires in the
city. They awaited only the compile
tion of an encircling movement by
troops toiling up the torturous hills to
the west of Bilbao before making the
push to enter Bilbaos limits.
But frightened refugees brought out
stories of Basque capital fortified
with cobblestone barricades and hid
den mines for fight to the finish.
All bridges that led into the new
city" across the Nervion River are
mined, the refugees said. The main
streets are crisscrossed with the cob
blestone barricades.
Insurgents declared they held COM
plete control Of the eastern reaches
of the Nervion River, Bilbao's avenue
to the Bay Of Biscay, and were launch
ing the long-awaited pinching move
ment to drive the Basques from the
western hills and incloSe the city.
The official Basque delegation at
Bayonne, France, announced the gov
ernment of the semi-autonomous re-
public had left its besieged capital
"for another point in Basque terri
tory"
The location of the new capital
was being kept secret fo- military
reasons, but one report said the gov
ernment had taken up its seat at the
little village of Trucios, about 20 miles
west Of Bilbao, on secondary road
to Santander.
Defense Command Named.
Before they left they turned over
the military command to a new de-
fense junta composed of Gen. Gamir
Uribarri, chief defense commander;
Jesus Leizaola, minister of justice;
Santiago Aznar, minister of industry,
and Juan de Astigarrabia, minister
of public works.
While Basque shock troops slowed
up the enemy advance to protect the
retreat of their main body and the
withdrawal of artillery batteries and
stores of ammunition, the third and
fourth Basque divisions reached the
rear-guard positions and occupied
them.
The Basques were apparently mass
ing all their forces west of the city
to prevent Generalissimo Francisco
Frances insurgents from capturing
the dominant heights, cutting the
highway to Santander and bottling
up the capital. Bilbao, incidentally,
is withstanding its fifth siege in 100
years.
Population Swollen.
The shelling of the city from the
insurgent gun implacements on the
eastern outskirts continued through
out the night, the defense junta de-
clared, with pursuit planes flying only
200 feet above the streets, machine
cunning everything in range
"One hundred fifty thousand per-
sons have been evacuated from Bill
bao to Santander by land and sea

said 'Montana's budget is bal

Ark Pays Dividends.
VehicuIar Traffic
Sets Record.

The long and arduous journey CT
DR.. William Mann's modern Noah's
Ark paid big dividends yesterday
when a near-record crowd trekked to
the Zoo to view the new arrivals.
Large crowds have visited the local
animal colony before, but few have
exceeded the proportions of the more
than 10000 who came out especially to
see what the Zoo director brought back
from foreign lands.
Sergt. l.. A. Tabinski of the park
police, who has been stationed at the
Zoo for l6 years, said vehicular traf11c
undoubtedly set new record. A STEADY
stream flowed through the Zoo at a
snails gait, and lines of other cars
waited outside both entrances to the
park all day, he said.
The four new giraffes and the other
animals in the new pachyderm house
probably had more fun than any of
their friends because they had more of
those funny human beings to watch.
More than 1000 persons were count
ed in the modern elephant house at
one time, Sergt. Tabinski said. The
small mammal house and the home
of the reptiles were just about tied for
second honors.
But Komo, the Komodo dragon, and
Susie, the new orang-outan, were not
without their public, and the bears
didn't exactly starve for lack OF pea
nuts.
