Madrid, Aug. 30.
Starvation, internal strife, the perpetual menace of bombing from overhead and mine explosions from underground, comprise the daily lot of the insurgent defenders of the historic Moorish citadel, the Alcazar in Toledo, according to a French correspondent who has just returned from a visit to this storm-centre. The loyalist Governor of the province told him that 1,300 people were shut up in the Alcazar, where a small force of insurgents had been holding out for weeks against the encircling Government troops.

It is confrmed that it was the destroyer Kane which fought a duel with an unidentified bombing plane of the Spanish coast to-day.
Mr. Cordell Hull, the Secretary of State, has lodged strong representa- lons with the Spanish Government and with General Francisco Franco, the insurgent leader.

The plane was a three-engined alreraft without marks of Identiflea- tion. It made three attacks destroyer, according to the Department, although the Kane was tying the United States flag and had. a United States ensign spread on her upper deck awning.-Renter,
The rebels included 300 women and children who took refuge in the underground cellars of the Alcazar at the commencement of hostilities. Many of these terrified people have possibly been suffocated under enceraircraft guns, but without falling ruins, as collapses of masonry are constantly occurring as a result of the continuous bombardment The Governor said it would be possible to capture the Alcazar within a few hours, but it was mined with 600 pounds of explosives, so efforts were being made to force the besieged to surrender, as the Government did not want to kill everybody there. A number were being kept by force, he was aware.
Food Shortage
The insurgent force in the citadel was suffering from food shortage, na the supplies dropped by planes had fallen, for the most part, outside the) boundaries of the Alcazar, owing to the great height at which the rebel machines were forced to fly to avoid the fire of the Government anti- aircraft guns.
