GIBRALTAR. July 30, — Two
rebel flying boats, rushing fresh
Moorish troops from Spanish Mor
! ooco to peninsular Spain for the
assault on Malaga, strategic loy
alist naval base, were shot down
today by anti-aircraft guns fired
from government submarines pa
trolling the Straits of Gibraltar.
Meanwhile it was learned that
810 persons were killed in the
fighting between rebels and loy
alists at San Roque yesterday.
Los of the hydroplane was a
severe set-back to General Fran
cisco Franco whose insurgent
forces were battling amidst flam
ing patches of woodland for Es
tepona on the sea coast between
La Linea and Malaga.
The famous Spanish Foreign
Legion was winning when the
seaplanes, speeding re-enforce
menits, were shot down.
Advancing in 24 hours of in
cessant fighting from Algeciras,
the Legionaires passed through
San Roque and on to Estepona.
A rabble army of loyal troops,
civil guards and armed red civ
ilians was retreating in disorder
before the onslaught of the
Moors.
Hoping to stem the advance of i
the rebels and delay the battlej
for Malaga, the fleeing loyalists
set fire to woods along the Mai- i
aga road. Heavy columns of
smoke were visible from Gibral
tar. Franco has ordered the cap
ture of Malaga so as to leave
without a base, the loyalist war
ships which have shelled his
Spanish Morocco fortifications and
impeded the transport of his
crack army to peninsular Spain.
It was reported that rebel con
querors in the northeastern sub
urb of La Linea shot more than
50 loyalist fugitives from the pop
ular front army which was sev
erely defeated at San Roque yes
terday. Indications were that
the Moors, traditional enemies of
the Spaniards, intend to annihil
ate all opposition.
