London, To-day.

A message receiveed from Biriatou from Mr. Murphy, Reuter's special correspondent in that area, says that the battle for Irun waged all day long yesterday and the valley of the Bidassoa River reeked with gunpowder. Ambulances could be seen ascending and descend- ing the slopes of the hills around Irun, while a ceaseless procession of stretcher-bearers visited the casualty clearing stations.

The insurgent gunfire appeared to be extremely accurate and in the absence of adequate dugouts, the deathroll among the INTERNATIONAL defenders must be presumed to have been heavy. Over 600 shells| fell on the Government positions guarding the remaining 300 yards of the topmost ridge commanding the entry into Irun, while the battle was essentially a big-gun duel, in which the re- bels gained the advantage. The rifle and machine-gun fire never
