SPANISH REBELS
RUSH TO GIBRALTAR. [BY CARLE —PRESS ASSN. —COPYRIGHT.] (Received August 13, 11.30 a.m.) MADRID, August 12. Spain is practically normal after the popular rejoicings over the failure of the revolt, one result of which has been to establish the Republic more firmly in power. Most of the Monarchist and Catholic newspapers in Spain have been suppressed. The arrests continue, including Primo De Rivera’s two sons. The Marquis Destiver, whose chalet at Seville was Sanjurgo’s headquarters, during the latter’s brief regime, thrillingly escaped to Gibraltar. After a mob burned down the chalet, the Marquis and a friend motored to the coast, attempting to reach Gibraltar by motor boat, which broke down, whereupon the Marquis swam ;o British territory, where many officers implicated in the revolt are already hiding. General Sanjurgo arrived at Police Headquarters, and stated that he accepted the whole responsibility, and is prepared to submit to punishment.
