MALAGA UNDER BIG NAVAL GUNS
TERRIFIC
BOMBARDMENT AND AIR RAID
WAR TERROR WAS BROUGHT HOME TO MALAGA YESTERDAY IN A JOINT AIR RAID AND NAVAL BOMB- ARDMENT OF UNEXAMPLED FEROCITY.
·HUNDREDS OF CIVILIANS WERE KILLED AND WOUNDED IN A PERSISTENT ATTACK LASTING SEVERAL HOURS, AND THE DAMAGE DONE WAS EXTENSIVE
A Renter message from Gibraltar described the insurgent onslaught as Malaga's heaviest bombard- ment since the outbreak of the Spanish civil war. The grim details of the story were related to newspaper correspondents at Gibraltar by the officers of Danish and Nor- wegian steamers which were lying alongside the quay at Malaga when first the air raiders appeared, comprising six heavy-type bombing planes, followed by two cruisers.
The planes dropped at least 200 explosive and incendiary bombs upon the city, and while the raid was still in progress, the cruisers opened fire and rained at least 200 shells upon the town.
No accurate estimate of casualties can yet be formed but the total is known to exceed 300.
BRITISH CONSULATE HAVOC
The main hospital Malaga was among the buildings badly damaged and a number of other important buildings were set on fire.
According to Trans-Ocean reports. parts of Malaga are now in flames.
The air and naval attack is believed to be the prelude to a major offensive by the insurgent military forces in an attempt to
capture the town, which has held out for many weeks.
During the bombardment, says a British Wire- less message, a shell exploded outside the British Consulate and did considerable 'damage to the build- ing. The personnel was unharmed.
Neutral shipping in harbour made for the safety of the open sea after a Norwegian ship had been hit. About hundred shells fell on town and harbour, mostly on the latter.

ARAB MUFTI WARNS FURTHER DISTURBANCES UNLESS PALESTINE
POLICY ALTERS EVIDENCE BEFORE
COMMISSION
Jerusalemi, To-day. Sharp criticism of Britain's Palestine policy and Jewish en- deavours was expressed by the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem yes- terday before the British Com- mittee of Enquiry, in the pre- sence of a large number of for- eign press representatives.
Pointing out that Palestine) had been Arabic for centuries up to the time of the war, he called attention to the promise of com- plete independence for all Arabia: which England "made to King Hussain of the Hedjaz during the war.
This, he declared, preceded; Lord Balfour's promise to the Jews of "a new, native land” în Palestine.
The Grand Mufti went on to describe the contradictions and ambiguity in post-war treaties and the attitude of the League of. Nations. He declared that Eng- land's Palestine policy was often dictated by Jews and, as a result of it, increasing areas of Arab: land were falling into Jewish
