SPANISH CONFLICT
3.15 P.M. EDITION.
LULL AFTER STORM. INSURGENTS CONSOLIDATING. (United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.) Received August 5, 11.10 a.m. LONDON, Aug. 4. The Times Salamanca, correspondent says: “Nationalist Spain is in a lull after the storm over Brunete, where there is not even a flicker of civil life. General Varela’s troops are consolidating the position, which they recaptured with a view to rendering a. repetition of the Government forces’ surprise attacks impossible. “The situation round Madrid is little changed by the last month’s fighting. The insurgent columns operating on the Teruel front have entered Cuenca Province, but do not intend to advance in force, contenting themselves with cleaning up and cutting off the retreat of the Loyalists, 350 of whom have surrendered. The whole countryside west of Teruel is a wilderness of deserted ca.mps, with bridges blown up and roads impassable owing to wrecked lorries. The villages are deserted, the villagers hiding in the pine woods.”
