BOMBINGS IN SPAIN
NEUTRAL SHIPS NOT ENTITLED TO GUARANTEE According to Insurgent Communique “MERELY COMMON CONTRABANDISTS.” By Telegraph.—Press Association.—Copyright. (Received This Day, 10 a.m.) BURGOS, June 9. “The rules of warfare do not guarantee the safety of neutral vessels in the ports of a warring country,” declares an insurgent communique, justifying the bombings of foreign vessels in Republican ports. The communique adds: “Neutral ships tra ding with the Government are merely common contrabandists.” SMALL PORT RAIDED. BRITISH-OWNED DREDGER DISABLED. (Received This Day, 10 a.m.) MADRID, June 8. A small, entirely British-owned dredger at Port Gandia, 40 miles south of Valencia, was bombed at midnight. The dredger was disabled and two warehouses were destroyed. The harbour is used chiefly for exportation of fruit and vegetables. Owing to the repeated bombing of Valencia, British cruisers and destroyers are using Port Gandia. British colours were painted on the roofs of the warehouses.
