Rome, Sept. 3.

A Government spokesman to-day announced that the Italian naval forces in Spanish waters would be increased, due to the murder of Signor Umberto Fasinella, an Italian subject, at Barcelona on Wednesday, Official confirmation of his death has been received.

The sole reason for Signor Fasinella's execution was his posses- sion of certain religious pictures, it is believed.

The Italian Consulate-General at Barcelona has been ordered to protest strongly to the Catalan Government. -United Press,

BRITAIN'S GOLF TEAM ROUTED

BADLY BEATEN BY U.S.

WALKER CUP STARS

Pine Valley, Sept. 3.

The British Walker Cup golf. team went to picces in the final stages of the competition to-day, and, losing seven out of the eight singles, lost the series for the ninth successive time by 10% to 1% games.

Although favoured by something like English condi tions, the British players were overwhelmed. Bentley had the greatest chance of victory when he was leading by one hole at the 35th, and on the 36th failed by inches to sink w 35 foot putt for the match,

Thus, for the first time in the history of the Walker Cup, Britain failed to win a single game. In the foursomes she lost two and halved two and in the singles lost seven and halved one.

The losers' driving greatly impress- ed, but they failed to follow up this initial advantage, and were severely criticised when they seemed to be content to make a good drive them falled to make a careful' enough ap- proach.

Hendaye, Sept. 3.

The insurgents, under General Mola, have launched.

a new attack on Behobie, 1,500 infantry rising up from their trenches at 4.45 p.m. to-day and advancing in waves from the sides of La Puncha Hill.

Moorish troops and Foreign Legionaires formed the first line of the advance, the Legionaires throwing hand grenades as they sprang forward.

The attackers were met by terrific bursts of machine-gun fire.

:

Shortly after 5 p.m. the first waves reached the outskirts of Behobie, but many of the leading, troops fell dead on their faces as they came under a deadly fire from the windows of the houses of the town. The attackers had practically no cover as they advanced and relied on their speed and numerical strength to reach their objective.-Reuter Special..
