Hendaye, Aug. 26.
The battle for Irun continues in the darkness of a night made hideous by scream of shell, blast of bomb and crazy chatter of machine-gun and rifle, but the

attack on the Government troops, entrenched on the hills surrounding the city, has apparent- ly been checked. The Government troops continue to hold the dominating positions.
Heavy firing continued at Irun throughout the afternoon, following the rebel attack of the morning. Both sides maintained a lively fusilade, but the rebels were at least temporarily checked.
Insurgent aircraft dropped forty to fifty bombs on Irun during the day, but the number of victims and extent of the damage are not yet known.
A score of refugees, mostly women and children, have arrived at Hendaye.
.Rebel planes dropped pamphlets in Irun, presenting the defenders with an ultimatum that unless they sur- rendered by 8 o'clock to-night the town would suffer
