VALENCIA BOMBED

EXTENSIVE DAMAGE DEAD AND INJURED Thirty Buildings Destroyed Press Association—Copyright. Received May 29, 11 a.m. London, May 28. A message from Valencia says that a squadron of seven rebel ’planes, flying in formation, bombed Valencia, extensively damaging the centre of the city. The casualties are at least 42 dead and 112 injured. Thirty buildings were destroyed, including the Paraguayan Legation. Prompt action by the fire brigades averted a worse disaster. The British steamer Cadon was hit by a bomb and sank in shallow water. Seven of the crew were killed, and eight injured. Another bomb hit the British steamer Pinzon. The captain said that he had an extremely narrow escape. A report from Santander says that the British steamer Jenny has run the blockade and arrived with a cargo of foodstuffs.
