Paris, Oct. 29.
It is reported that 1,500 Catalan or Spanish Republican insurgents from Paris and Brussels crossed the Franco-Spanish frontier and concentrated on the Spanish slde of Mount Camproadon. According to an Echo de Paris report from Perpighan, they are commanded by the famous novelist Blasco Ibanez and Ventura Gassol.
From a dressing table, the in- truder managed to steal three- rings, the total value of which is placed at $200. An automatic pistol, and seventy-five rounds of ammunition were also taken.
