City Now In State Of General Panic
LOYALISTS THREATENING MASSACRE OF FASCISTS
Avila, Nov. 9.
Resistance by the Spanish Government forces and General Francisco Franco's desire to do as little damage to Madrid as possible, are considered the reasons for the delay in the capture of the capital; but insurgent circles here state that the Nationalist pressure is growing minute by minute.-Reuter Special.
WILL FIGHT TO GRIM END
Madrid, Nov. 9.
Instructions have been issued by the militia commanders that in the event of the insurgents entering the capital every inhabitant must be provided with bottles of petrol which must be set afire and thrown from the roof-tops against the invaders.
Secondly, it is ordered that persons belonging to the Fascist "column" still remaining in Madrid must be immediately annihilated if the rebels enter the city.

LEWIS WHIPS HARVEY
Thus did William T. Tiden en- visage the future of first-class com-. petitive tennis in delivering a tlmught provoking speech at a complimentary dinner held under the auspices of | the Hongkong L.T.A. last evening.
Tilden also forecast that unless there was future co-operation be- tween the professional and amateur ranks of tennis, and the ocial amateur bodies were prepared to relax their untagonism towards the world's best famateur players would become a
