MOROCCAN TROOPS ENTER BALAGUER ON ROAD TO BARCELONA

Attack on Tortosa Halts To Allow Manoeuvre To Protect Both Flanks

Hendaye, Apr. 6.

Driving in an effort to seize the power plants in the neighbourhood, Insurgents to-day captured Balaguer, 72 miles west of Barcelona, the Moroccans entering the town behind whippet tanks.

It is reported that the Loyalists are moving eastward toward Cervera, and that there are new Loyalist lines about 60 miles outside of Barcelona.

Meanwhile the Insurgents apparently have delayed the capture of Tortosa to permit General Aranda's right wing to approach Vinaroz, after which it will be easier to prevent guerilla attacks on the Insurgents' flanks.
