Paris, To-day.

There has been another change in the Span- ish Premiership. According to messages from Madrid, Senor Jose Giral, former Navy Minister, has become Premier.

Madrid: The situation here remainis critical. Many soldiers have taken advantage of the Gov- ernment's offer to abandon their regiments if they do not sympathise with the attitude of their officers, and hundreds have offered their services to the Government.

The authorities at Madrid have armed the mob and taxi-| loads of "Red Militia" armed with rifles, revolvers and daggers are seen in the streets. Several lorry-loads of miners from North- west Spain arrived in Madrid yesterday and placed themselves at the disposal of the authorities.

The rebels have taken possession of the broadcasting station and telephone exchange at Seville, but the Government claim to have the situation well in hand there and throughout the country. The navy sided with the authorities.

DISSATISFIED WITH CHEN'S WITHDRAWAL ENLISTMENT OF FOREIGN PILOTS CAUSES UNREST 60 JAPANESE FLYING OFFICERS TO LEAVE CANTON FOR KWANGSI

[From Our Own Correspondent]

Canton, To-day. General Li Chung-jen, the Kwangsi military head, is reported to be dissatisfied with the re- tirement of General Chen Chi-tang, who is now in Hong Kong, and is planning to start a new movement against Nanking.

Two divisions of Kwangsi troops are located on the North River and West River. Although ̈ they are supposed to be returning to their own province, the Kwangtung forces are watching them.

Before he left Canton, General Li demanded mobilisation ex- penses from General Chen Chi-tang and received $600,000 --- the Kwangsi troops came to this province to join the Kwangtung units in resisting the Central authorities.

About 60 Japanese, flying officers have arrived here to join the local Air Force through the introduction of the Kwangsi mili- tary authorities. As the South-west regime has collapsed, these foreigners will shortly leave for Kwangsi.
