The Times - frontier correspondent says that General I Tanco's Salamanca headquarters deny that the insurgents are negotiating with the Spanish Government for the surrender of .Madrid. It is explained that certain headers of the Madrid Government have been in touch with the insurgent headquarters with a view to obtaining concessions for the surrender of the capital, but General Franco replied that he is not prepared to make any concession to the “Reds.” He added that on entering Madrid he would bring justice with him. No one would be persecuted and the victors would not commit the crimes of which Madrid was guilty. Food rationing began this morning in Madrid. Each shopkeeper is required to enter on the purchaser’s card the amount of any commodity bought daily. Hereby it is hoped to reduce and finally abolish the food queues. The Anarchists threaten to exterminate 10,000 prisoners in the city's gaols and dynamite the principal buildings as soon as it is evident that General Franco's entry cannot be resisted. The evacuation of women and children is accelerating.
