(Received October 8, 2 p.m.) LONDON, October 7. A few hours after a warning by means of leaflets had been dropped from the air to the effect that the city would be bombed without mercy if it did not surrender, insurgent aeroplanes heavily bombed Madrid. A message from Burgos states that the occupants of 30 machines which were employed against the railway lines, the aerodrome, and the barracks law signs of panic and declare that evacuation has begun. The insurgents' thrust towards Madrid has been facilitated by the capture of Fuentiduena, Portillo, and Santa Cruz de.Retamar. The struggle for the last-named place was very fierce and was preceded by an intensive aerial action.
A message from Talavera states that 300 Government troops were killed in the fighting for Santa Cruz de Retamar.
Navalcarnero is the next and last strong point between this front and Madrid.
