Durango Bombed For Fourth Time

London, Apr. 4.

Insurgent aerial activity is the chief feature of the Spanish war news at present. It is reported from Bilbao that Durango, upon which General Mola's troops are advancing, was bombed from the air for three and a half hours yesterday afternoon. Many buildings, the railway' station and trains were destroyed, and incendiary bombs started fires in several places.

The evacuation of the civil population has begun, a number of special trains proceeding to Bilbao. Many families whose homes have been destroyed are now arriving in Madrid, where shelter has been arranged for them.

Air-raids on the suburbs of Barcelona and at other points on the Catalan coast were carried out by two rebel- planes which are reported to have come from the north- cast. They were chased from Barcelona by Government planes. The number of casualties is not known.-Reuter,

SQUAD KEEPS EYE ON BAD CHARACTERS

In order that the tourist may not be pestered by the attentions of undesirable characters after he has landed on these shores, the Police Department of Hongkong has instituted a special body of plain-clothes men to look

after him.

Unofficially designated as the "Tourist Squad"; six men from this special body are usually on duty at one. time in the Central district when a tourists ship or other trans-oceanic liner is in with a large number of visitors.

Their functions consist of clearing the streets of mendicants and keep- ing susplelous-looking characters ever on the move, and away from the shopping areas. Generally, this has been found to be very necessary in view of the great interest these visitors have always managed to at- tract.

This police precuation, which has now settled down into

routine, has been evolved after an exchange of views with the Hongkong Travel Association which is reported to have launched out inlo number of surprising directions.
