STRUGGLE FOR

FOR CASA DE CAMPO

London, Nov. 15.

While fighting continues over a 10-mile front, the Casa de Campo country remains the chief battleground in the struggle for the capital, according to cables received from Reuter's special cor- respondent with the insurgent forces.

Three Britons are reported to have been found among the slain. after a fierce night battle in Casa de Campo's forest, where 200 militiamen, under cover of darkness, scaled the walls of the park and desperately attacked the insurgent outposts.

The attacking force was annihilated by the rebels, who also sustained severe losses in the fight.

Trained units of the Government militia again attacked Colonel Castejon's column, which occupies a portion of the Casa de Campo, but the blow was delivered without artillery support and appeared to Jack cohesion and determination.

Further north, Colonel Barron's column pushed forward and occupied houses near the Segovia bridge. It is believed the Government's machine-gunners have withdrawn from this sector, probably taking up a new! position on the Madrid side of the river.

Heavy fighting, continued at other points south of Madrid throughout the entire day.-Reuter. Madrid Bombed Again
