A Saragossa message says that Government planes dropped 60 bombs on Valladolid, many falling on an orphanage which was wrecked. Twelve were killed and 40 injured. An official loyalist statement declares that six insurgent aeroplanes raided Valencia, bombing first the port and then the city, and killing 125 persons and injuring 208.
