SAN SEBASTIAN FALLS TO INSURRECTIONISTS
London, July 22.
As far as the latest news, from many quarters, can be trusted the Spanish rebels are making notable progress.
Refugees arriving at Hendaye, on the Franco- Spanish border, declare the provinces of Saragossa, Navarre, Jaca, Vittoria, Burgos, Valladolid and Pontevreda are in the hands of the rebels. The frontier guards near Hendaye, at Behibic and Dantharia have gone over to the rebel army.
The rebels control San Sebastian, where the wireless station, the last loyalist stronghold, is being besieged.
From Tangier comes the report that rebel head- quarters at Ceuta has warned neutral shipping to leave Tangier harbour as the rebels plan to attack the Government warships there from the air. These warships are allegedly marooned owing to lack of fuel and provisions.
Nevertheless, the British destroyer Whitehall ist remaining in Tangier harbour--Reuter.
