HEAVY

FIGHTING AT

OVIEDO CONTINUES

London, Oct. 13.

Another day has passed without the opening of the insurgent attack on Madrid, and reports of fresh skirmishes around the Spanish capital indicate that General Francisco Franco, the rebel commander-in- chief, is not ready to order a general advance.

The insurgents now occupy five of the principal sectors running clock-wise around Madrid from the south to the north-east, but it is believed the Madrid- Valencia Railway is still working.

The insurgents claim to have made a further air raid upon Aranjuez Station, a vital junction of the railway.

Manila, Oct. 14. The Arnedo and Agno dykes have collapsed, and the raging Pampanga River is flooding thousands of acres of fertile Central Luzon, adding new deaths to the toll the typhoon has taken and multiplying the enormous property loss. This is the climax of one of the greatest typhoon sieges in recent Philippines history.

Newspapers, through their provincial correspon- dents, have reported that 363 bodies have already been recovered in 16 provinces. Hundreds of persons are missing and are feared to have perished.

The numbers of missing cannot be estimated, for the total is growing hourly as reports from isolated parts of the country reach the capital...
