(Received Oct. 27, at 10 p.m.) Flushed by their victories at Gijon and Oviedo, the insurgents have initiated a fierce offensive all along the Oregon front. The Republicans allowed the insurgents to approach close and then routed them in great disorder with a withering machine gun fire. The insurgent officers were unable to control the stampede. Burying parties reported that the dead were mostly Italians and Moors. The Ministries of Defence and Finance are being moved to Barcelona from Valencia.
