Madrid, Aug. 30. Starvation, internal strife, the perpetual infantry, who menace of bombing from overhead and mine explosions from underground, comprise the daily lot of the insurgent defenders of the historic Moorish citadel, the Alcazar in Toledo, according to a French correspondent who has just returned from a visit to this storm-centre.
The loyalist Governor of the province told him that 1,300 people were shut up in the Alcazar, where a small force of insurgents had out for weeks against the been holding
encircling Government troops.
The rebels included 300 women and children who took refuge in the underground cellars of the Alcazar at the commencement of hostilities. Many of these terrified people have possibly been suffocated under falling ruins, as collapses of masonry are constantly occurring as a result of the continuous bombardment.
The Governor said it would be possible to capture. the Alcazar within a few hours, but it was mined with 600 pounds of explosives, so efforts were being made to force the besieged to surrender, as the Government did not want to kill everybody there. A number were being kept by force, he was aware.
