Gibraltar, Sept. 29.

The authentic version of this morning's naval battle to the west of Tarifa has now been disclosed here.

The insurgent cruisers Baleares and Almirante Cervera met the Government destroyers Almirante Fernandiz and the Gravina, and the fight was one-sided owing to the cruisers' heavier armament. The Fernandiz was repeatedly hit, tool: fire aft and sank.

The French liner Koutoubia picked up survivors.

The Baleares chased: Gravina and the latter finally reached Casa Blanca considerably damaged, and landed her wounded.

The significance of the naval action was clarified when the insurgents Inter managed to transport troops and ammunition across the straits from Ceuta to Algeciras. The object of the insurgent cruisers was to clear a way for a convoy consisting of four aeroplanes, accompanied by a torpedo boat and the cruiser Almirante Cervera, while a second cruiser remained on guard at Tarifa. The transportation was carried out without a hitch and it is stated that the convoy returns to Ceuta very Soon to embark a further 2,000 troops. It also reported that column of 3,000 insurgents, including cavalry and artillery, is making a big attack on Malnga this week, supported from the sea by two cruisers, including the Almirante Cervera-Reuter,

THREE COMPETITORS ARE FORCED FROM FIELD

London, Sept. 29. (10 p.m.)..

Six of the original nine starters in the England-to-Johannesburg air race have hitherto reached or are approaching Cairo. Two of the com- petitors, Capt. Halse, starting from scratch in a Percival New Gull, and Clouston, with a handicap of six hours 25 minutes 12 seconds, are already winging southwards in a neck and neck race which began at Belgrade.

Both men flew from Belgrade to Cairo, 1,176 miles, non-stop. Capt. Halse remained in the Egyptian capital 37 minutes, but Clouston was content with 21 minutes' rest while his machine was being refueled, thus reducing Capt. Halse's lead to a meagre nine and a half minutes, in 2,249 miles.

Max Findlay turned up at Cairo at 9.08 p.m. in just over half an hour. All are thankful for Egypt's warmth after the Arctic conditions in Europe, where ice forming on the wings of the planes forced com- petitors to descend to low altitudes.
