BATTLE FOR SAGUNTO
ARMIES PREPARING
80,000 TROOPS ON EACH SIDE
(Received July 4, 1.5 pan.)
LONDON, July 3.
The Hendaye correspondent of "Th« Times" states that both sides in the Spanish civil war are concentrating their most powerful elements for an important battle for Sagunto. > The rebels claim to have taken many prisoners in the capture of two villages, but the progress was arduous and costly. Though each side is disposing 80,000 troops, the rebels are overwhelmingly superior in the air. The loyalists are determined to hold Sagunto and Valencia at all costs, and are moving their best troops and commanders to this front.
