BATTALIONS TRAPPED
ACCORDING TO LOYALIST REPORT. REBELS EXTENDING HOLD ON COAST. LONDON, April 24. The correspondent of the “Daily Telegraph” says the loyalists entrenched in the Tremp section claim to have trapped two rebel battalions in Rionoguera Valley, where machine-gunners almost annihilated them. A report from Saragossa states that the rebels attacked north-east of Teruel and captured Aliaga. A Madrid communique, admitting a rebel advance south of San Mateo, says the enemy put up a barrage of 4000 shells, followed by four onslaughts of troops. The Republicans claim the capture of the villages of Alius and Mallolis, in Western Andorra, also minor successes in the Tremp zone. A message from Salamanca says that General Franco’s troops are moving southward on the eastern coast and have reached Alcala de Chisvert. They have also captured the Republican position of Usera, south-west of Madrid. The Republicans insist that on the Madrid front the stalemate is unchanged.
