LOYALIST COMEBACK SURPRISES FRANCO

CIVILIANS START PASSIVE RESISTANCE CAMPAIGN

VALENCIA, JAN. 30.

THE GOVERNMENT ANNOUNCED TO-DAY THAT THE LOYALISTS HAD REPULSED ALL INSURGENT ATTACKS ON THE CATALAN FRONT TO-DAY, INFLICTING VERY HEAVY LOSSES IN THE MATARO SECTOR.

The Insurgents, in a broadcast from Barcelona, claimed that the Loyalist counter-attacks were led by members of the International Brigade, composed of South Americans and Contra! Europeans, which had been organised following an agrement between the Fronch Communist De- puty, M. Marty and General Vincente Rojo.

Meanwhile the Insurgents claimed to have heavily bombed the railway stations at Gerona and Figueras.

Frontier reports indicate that the Insurgent authorities in Catalonia will have to deal with a wide-scale passive resistance campaign Catalonia.

CHILE ROCKED BY NEW QUAKES: TOWNS BURIED

SANTIAGO, Jan. 30.

NEW EARTH TREMORS are reported from the 'quake zone as officials forecast that the total dead reached the astounding figure of 50,000.

In addition to the Chillan tremor, it is announced from Concepcion that all houses and buildings in the ecal-mining town of Coronel were destroyed by an earthquake at 10.45 p.m, on Sunday--the same time as the Chillan tremor was felt. The first report said that there were no victims, and it was therefore assumed that the residents, as a precaution, had slept out of doors,

However, with confirmation that the 'quake was severe chough to raze the entire township, gravest fears have been argued that a further disaster might have or- curied in regions with which com- munications continue to be very dificult.

it is also added that the suffering thousands of refugees are being re- moved as fast as possible from regions such as Chillon, where the glench from corpses him caused the soldiers urgently to request gasmasks.
