MADRID ADMITS LOSSES

OF GROUND IN SOUTH

Lisbon, Sept. 22. Desperate fighting and a terrific bombardment by insurgent planes preceded the fall of Maqueda when three insurgent columns attacked at dawn yesterday.

The rebels moved in from the south, centre and north, but were held up by the Government's mechanised forces until insurgent planes bombed and destroyed the loyalists' positions.

The Government militia was demoralised by the bombardment, according to a correspondent of Diario! de Noticias, and retreated in motor buses in the direction of Torrijos, pursued by the insurgents, with the Moorish battalions in the van. It is reported that thousands of militiamen were killed.

After the fall of Maqueda a terrific air battle is reported to have occurred between insurgent and Government planes, which arrived too late to help the defenders of the town.--Reuter, Making Fresh Stand
