SANTANDER, TO-DAY.
ALL ABLE-BODIED MEN ARE DIGGING TRENCHES AND ERECTING FORTIFICA- TIONS, WHILE FACTORIES ARE WORKING DAY AND -NIGHT PRODUCING* MUNI-
TIONS.
An Army numbering 55,000 well-armed and well-trained mili- tia is prepared to defend the city against the insurgents.
An official war bulletin issued in Valencia yesterday says that the insurgents continued to advance in the mining and industrial area west of Bilbao.
Mass desertions of Basque troops, it is stated, had greatly facilitated the offensive oper- ations of the insurgent army, The Basques, however, are said to have successfully repulsed a re- bel attack at Santurco..
INTENSIVE SHELLING
In Asturias, the Republican artil- lery carried out an intensive bom- bardment of the insurgent posi- tions, while on the Madrid front the centre of the capital was again shelled by the rebel batteries.
