NIGHT BOMBARDMENT
SIX HUNDRED SHELLS. MADRID'HOSPITAL HIT. „ THREAT TO COMMUNICATIONS. (United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.) Received August 4, 9.40 a.m. MADRID, Aug. 3. Over 600 shells fell in Madrid during the night’s bombardment. The telephone building was hit twice. The largest hospital was hit and the patients were transferred to the basement. The populace took refuge jn the cellars of their homes. Thr possibility is growing of the rebels invading Cue.nce Province and threatening the Valencia-Madrid highway, the lifeline to the capital. The Loyalists, however, claim to have repulsed tlie latest insurgent attacks besides heavily damaging the convoys and concentration camps by air bombing. A fierce encounter is reported at the hill village of Dornaque from which the rebels'are endeavouring to dislodge the Catalonia Anarchist militia from their trenches with machige-guns and bayonets. The Government is replacing its losses, estimated by the rebels at 300 daily, by reinforcements from Cartagena and from Valencia. The Loyalists report an advance on the Esclampero sector of the Asturias front.
