Burgos, Sept. 21.

It is learned at the Insurgent Headquarters here that rebel troops are engaged in conflict with loyalists in the vicinity of Tole- do, indicating that relief is approaching the beleaguered garrison of the Alcazar,

The insurgents in the Alcazar, who have lived on pitifully scant rations for days, who have suffered almost continuous artillery and aircraft bombardment, faced fire and bayonet charges, and finally had much of their stronghold blown up about them by a mine, are known to be near the end of their endurance. Yesterday planes drop- ped food to them. They have resisted the attacks of the loyalists for nearly 70 days.

Yesterday it was reported that the relief column was within 14 miles of Toledo.

The rebel field headquarters at Talavera announces! the occupation of Santa Lalla last night, and a subse- quent easy advance of seven miles to the town of Ma- queda, which was also occupied.

The headquarters at Burgos adds that Huermeces; Pass, which dominates the Madrid-Saragossa road, has] been taken and held by the rebels-United Press.
