Gibraltar, July 20.

Despite the vigorous censorship and the severance of all telephonic communication, it appears that civil war is raging throughout a wide area in Spain and Malaga, where the considerable British colony is reportedly aflame.

Heavy fighting has occurred at the frontier town of Lalinca, and numbers of wounded men and women by the military are being brought into Gibraltar authorities.

Among these wounded, who are being rushed to hospital, is an Englishman, Mr. Edward Marshall, ex- manager of the Y. M. C. A. at Gibraltar, who is suffering from bullet wounds.-Reuter.

KWANGTUNG REASSURED

Canton Declared Absolutely Safe

KWANGSI TROOPS HALT WITHIN OWN BORDERS

Canton, July 20.

Considerable relief has resulted from the announce- inent by General Miao Pei-nan, who assumed temporary control of military affairs to-day pending the arrival of General Yu Han-mow, that both the rumours that Japanese flying pilots and Kwangsi troops were within Kwangtung's borders are untrue.

He said the city of Canton was absolutely safe, his own crack troops of the Training Division having been- recalled to Canton, some to garrison the city itself, and some to guard Samshiu and other areas bordering on Kwangsi.

It is affirmed that prior to the departure of General Chan Chai-tong, the commander-in-chief requested the Kwangsi troops to discontinue their march towards Canton. Further, all Kwangtung generals remaining in command of troops are determined to keep the Kwangsi soldiers out. It is generally believed that with heavy Kwangtung forces in the West River area, the Kwangsi armies have little hope of entering. Kwangtung.
