Rebels Awaiting Counter-Drive
GUADARRAMA
CAPTURED Insurgents Short Of Munitions
FRANCE URGES ITALIANS
TO REMAIN NEUTRAL
London, Aug. 3.
Only minor actions were reported to-day in the Spanish civil war. The stalemate continues on the Guadarrama front in the mountains near Madrid, though the insurgents are maintaining their positions in spite of the fact that they are apparently short of ammunition and supplies..
The arrival of strong Government reinforcements from Valencia is expected to herald a push against the insurgents at Guadarrama which yesterday fell to the rebels at the point of the bayonet,
While the insurgents claim to be on the outskirts .of Badajoz, the Government claims to have blocked the rebels' main outlet to the sea. in the San Sebastian region, by destroying Oyarzun.
Biarritz reports that two Spanish military planes, travelling from Madrid to San Sebastian, landed there when they lost their way. The two pilots were detained by the French police and the aeroplanes, which were armed with machine-guns and carried 'a quantity of ammunition and Government propaganda leaflets, have been placed under guard.
In Barcelona it is reported that 900 Left Wing volunteers, of various an- fionalities, have arrived from France to enlist in the Government militia. Renter
