Madrid, To-day.

The Cabinet has authorised the commander of the loyal forces at Toledo to make a final offer to the insurgents, who have been holding out at Alcazar for six weeks, despite artillery and air bombardments which have half ruined the fortress. The women and children in the fortress will be allowed to leave be- |fore the Government forces make the final assault. -The lives of the men will be spared if they surrender. Reater's Bulletin Service.

London: It is learned from a reliable source that in the re- cent fighting between the insurgent garrison at Majorca and the Catalonian landing-force the former was assisted by new aero- planes delivered at Palma by a mystery ship, along with anti- aircraft guns, amamtimition and other war equipment. The planes brought down a Government plane and forced the warships pro- tecting the invading force to withdraw with damage.
