It is apparent that the rebels, despite their reversals, have successfully reformed their lines, However, the loyalists are apparently on the initiative. Meanwhile, it is believed that General Mola, commander of the rebel armies of the north, is concentrating his greatest force in the region of the ancient, walled city of Medinaceli, 95 miles north-east of Madrid, and is preparing for a lengthy defence if this is necessary,

LAW HOLDS KING EDWARD'S

STRANGE ASSAILANT

George Andrew McMahon is charged with being in posses- beession of a loaded revolver with intent to endanger life and property. He was arrested during King Edward's recent inspection of the Guards regiments, when His Majesty was riding at the hood of the procession. McMahon pushed through the crowd and watchers perceived that he had a revolver in his hand. It was taken from him before he could use it. He said, afterwards, that he intended to kill himself.
