An insurgent aircraft raid, described as comparable with that at Guernica, wiped out the town of Ca-ngasdeonic, 30 miles from Oviedo. Incendiary and high explosive bombs reduced the town to a mountain of debris. The deathroll is unknown. Insurgent aircraft wiped out the military hospital at Granen, which was founded in 3936 by the British medical unit in Snain. It is alleged that the hospital was the sole object of the raid.

MINISTERS CONFER MR EDEN TO REPORT NO INFORMATION RELEASED [ British Official Wireless.J RUGBY, Oct. 12. Mr Anthony Eden on his return to London saw Mr Neville Chamberlain, with whom the newspapers assume he discussed the situation arising out of the Italian Note, on which he will report to Cabinet to-morrow. He later received M. Corbin, when the latter may be presumed to have communicated the latest views of France. Consultations between the two Governments will continue, and in the meantime forecasts of further developments can only be speculative. Mr Chamberlain will make a speech at Manchester on Thursday at a banquet in connection with the autumn meeting of the Association of British Chambers of Commerce. MRS.
