FROM INSURGENTS
London, July 26. "I order you to surrender the city." "I refuse.” These were the messages exchanged by the loyalist General Perez Farras and the rebel General Cabanellas, respectively, to-day, and which were the prelude to a homeric onslaught upon Saragossa by Government troops.
The Government has established an air base at Lerida, eight miles from Saragossa, from which the loyal forces are conducting a continuous bombardment which has already badly shattered the fine, old town.
The three other critical areas outside Madrid, are Seville, towards which loyalist troops are driving and have already arrived at the city of Cordova: Albacete, which has been captured from the rebels, facilitating the revictualing of the capital: and San Sebastian, around which the loyalists are reported to be gaining ground.
