Refugees numbering 120,000 including soldiers, have entered France without disturbance, and are still coming in at the rate of six thousand an hour. The French authorities have secured the release of a number of political and military prisoners. Colonel Martin, who is negotiating the evacuation of wounded to France, ordered a garrison of 30,000 troops at Pigcerda to resist to the last man, but they began an evacuation when they learned that the invaders were ten miles distant. The captors of Seodeurgel have reached the border of Andorra where the frontier guards greeted them.
AERODROMES BOMBED.
MANY SHIPS REPORTED SUNK IN PORT.
(Received This Day, 11.35 a.m.) BURGOS, February G.
Rebel planes are steadily bombing and machine-gunning the last loyalist aerodromes in Catalonia. They also bombed Port Laselva and claim that many ships were sunk.
