LOYALISTS DESTROY BRIDGE.
rebel reinforcements killed YOUTHFUL LEADER DIES OF WOUNDS. (Received This Day, 9.20 a.m.) LONDON, September 0. Militia from Malaga, led by a 19-year-old youth, Francisco Vallodres, mined a bridge and blew up a train carrying insurgent reinforcements to Granada, killing many. The remainder were finished off with hand-grenades. Vallodres was severely wounded and died in hospital. The Government forces are preparing to blow up the Alcazar at Toledo. Mining under the foundations, they will use enough high explosive to complete the job in one blast. The Government invited 1200 besieged citizens to surrender, promising to spare their lives if they come out unarmed.
■General Dellano, in a broadcast, says the next rebel attack will be on Bilbao, where he expects little resistance. Ships will bombard Santander.
