Five Victims Added In New Gun Battles
A revolution in northeast Spain escalated with five more deaths, raising the toll to 54. Loyal troops lost a sergeant and a corporal at a barricaded barracks in Villanueva de la Serena as fighting raged with machine gun fire and reinforcements expected. Authorities ordered rebels to surrender within six hours of bombardment to end disorder, while nationwide measures included bans on labor meetings and closures of syndicalist centers. The weeklong unrest, spanning 12 provinces, also saw bombings, train wrecks, and church fires as the government sought calm and a possible end to the revolt.
