BURGOS, Mar. 5.
NATIONALIST RISING in Cartagena, both by land and sea forces, is reported.
It is stated that the Republican fleet has left the port.
An official statement issued from Madrid later claimed that the Cartagena revolt had been crushed.
The communique praises the loyalty and decision of the fleet and armed forces sent to stamp out the attempted rising, and adds that the offenders are being tried by court-martial immediately.

The station was subsequently recaptured, and it was slated in the broadcast this evening
that many Nationalists had been shot.
Denying that the city had surrendered, the announcer said that calm prevailed, and that the "whole of Car- tagena is cheering for the Republic."
The British destroyer, Boadicea, made a sudden dash for the eastern Spanish coast early to-day. Naval authorities are reticent regarding its destination, but
it is believed that the ship went either to Cartagena or Almeria.
