May Enter War Against Britain United Press Association —By Electric Telegraph—Copyright (Received August 16, 10.32 p.m.) GIBRALTAR, August 16. It Is reported from Ceuta that 16,000 Spanish troops landed from Spain with guns, light and medium tanks, and are proceeding inland from Tetuan. Their destination is believed to be the border of the International zone. There are also persistent rumours that Spain is entering the War against Britain.
