TOLEDO CASTLE
JOY OVER RELIEF PATHETIC INCIDENT REBEL LEADER'S SON SACRIFICE OF LIFE By Telegraph—PresS Association—Copyright (Received September 30, 6.5 p.m.) MADRID, Sept. £9 The widespread rejoicing in rebel circles over the relief of the Alcazar continues at Toledo. A pathetic drama connected with the siege occurred last week. The Government leader telephoned to General Moscardo, commander of the forces in the Alcazar, saying: "Your son is a postage. We will kill him unless you surrender." General Moscardo replied: "Call my son to the telephone." When the son spoke General Moscardo said: "My darling boy, those traitors proposed that I should save your life at the cost of the lives of my brave men and of my honour. I hope, my 6on, that after you have prayed you will cry: 'Long live Spain' and your life will be eternal." The son was executed on the same morning.
KILLED IN ACTION SPANISH PRINCE'S FATE FIGHTING FOR THE REBELS MADRID, Sept. 'J9 Prince Carlos of Bourbon-Orleans was killed in the fighting at Monn, shortly before the capture of Eibar, near Bilbao.

He was brother-in-law to ex-King Alfonso and the youngest son of Prince Juan of Spain.
