*London, To-day.

Another day has passed without the opening of the insur- gent attack on Madrid, and reports of fresh skirmishes around the capital indicate that General Franco is not ready to order the general advance. The insurgents now occupy the five principal sectors running clockwise round the capital from the south to the north-east, but it is believed that the Madrid-Valencia Railway is still working.

The insurgents claim that they made a further air raid on Aranjuez station, a vital railway junction. It appears that the insurgents are hoping to eat this communication before begin- ning the advance on Madrid. ··

Madrid: Food rationing, whereby it is hoped finally to abol- ish food quenes in the capital, begins to-day, while a new order has been issued under which no konseholder is allowed more than one mattress and two blankets. Any excess is to be handed to the Government for the use of the Militia,

The burning topic is now the defence of the capital, while every edition of the newspapers is urging that the Courts-Martial sit. ting in the various prisons in Madrid shall continue to function, while another Court is to be established to deal with charges of high treason other than those concerning military officers.
