REBEL HALF-CIRCLE AROUND MADRID GOVT. COMMUNICATIONS STILL OPEN

3,036 INSURGENTS REPORTED KILLED ON SOUTHERN FRONT

Madrid, To-day.

It is believed here that the insurgents' great thrust on Madrid will come from the south-west via the Tagus Valley. The insurgents at present have only thrown a semi-cirde round Madrid. The other half-circle is open, enabling the Government to communicate by rail with Catalonia and the south-eastern pro- vinces. The critical railway junction south of Madrid is Aran- jue, 62 miles from the nearest insurgent outpost of San Tolalla. The efforts of the Government will henceforth be concentrated on preventing the insurgents' closing the circle round the capital. A Government communique issued at midnight claims that 3.036 insurgents were killed in a battle on the southern front. following an insurgent attack launched by Moroccan troops and
