The Daily Telegraph's Vizcargue correspondent says: General Franco faunched frontal attacks on Bilb'ao from a point on the coast fifteen miles cust of Bilbao and from Mount Vizcargui, flve miles nearer the final objectivo. Tlje assailants, advancing itresistibly on the two-mile front, captured the first Loyalist stronghold, the heavily-foreified Mount Artibacarra, then puslied forward into the Basque trenches ffom which Basques leapt, trying to surrender, but rebel machino guns had no rnercy. The attack continucs to-morrow and Bilbao will fall at the week-end if the present success is maintained.
