A LOYALIST GAIN
SURPRISE ATTACK SUCCEEDS (By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright) LONDON, March 17. Seventy-four Englishmen left Southampton for Lisbon to take up duties on the Hispano-Portuguese frontier as observers under the NonIntervention Pact, taking eight largw caravans as headquarters. The Times’ Madrid correspondent, says that the heroine of the battle or Trijueque, Antonia Portero who, though only seventeen, was appointee political commissioner of the battalion in recognition of her courage in fighting, has been killed on the Guadalajara front. Rain has hampered activity elsewhere, except north-east of Madrid, where a surprise attack by the loyalists cut off Brihuega, the recent headquarters of the Italian General Bergonzoli.
