IN

Hendaye, Aug. 27. The struggle for the possession of Irun and San Sebastian was resumed to-day and resulted in another insurgent check.

Following a heavy barrage by both sides, the insurgents attempted to storm the Government lines, but their attacks broke down and they were early compelled to abandon the direct assault along the road to Irun and attempted a flanking movement on the slopes of Mount Turiarte. This also ended in failure.

Following the arrival of reinforcements from Burgos, the rebels appear to have made some progress, but they have not succeeded in turning the strong Government positions.

This afternoon the fire slackened on both sides, for the combatants seemed to have tacitly agreed to have a siesta while the front line troops were relieved. Elsewhere the insurgents claim that Colonel Yague, the victor in -the ballie. for Badajoz has occupied.
