St. Jean de Luz, Oct. 1.
The insurgents have turned the tables on the men who besieged the Alcazar, or a portion of the besieging force, in any event. Fifty Government troops have taken refuge in the Toledo Seminary, and it is believed there is a number of women and children with them.
So far they have held out for four days, refusing to surrender, and can fire on all who approach the build- ing.
The insurgents are unwilling to bombard the seminary for fear of harming the non-combatants.- Reuter Special.

Sir Samuel reviewed the statement of the Prime Minister, Mr. Stanley Baldwin, in the House of Commons last April, in which the leader of the Government made clear the legal position of the mandated territories, showing that no provision had been. made for their transfer, and assuring the House that the Government had no intention of raising the matter.
Sir Samuci added that Mr. Anthony Eden, the Foreign Minister, had am- plified the Prime Minister's state- ment on July 27..
He hoped that in view of the pre- sent delicate international situation he would not be expected to elaborate or add to these, statements, said the First Lord.
