Less Than 800
Oviedo Rebels
Left Of 2,50IIKNPAY!-..
K: n:: . r-.-; - Frontier,
Oct. IT.?A.i-L-.ii:an miners,
spuinmachine guns and rifles f??i
sticks of dynamite which look like
>ash v.ci-ht; and blow up whole
buildings, moved closer to the heart
of Oviedo Sunday night, wiping out
scattered remnants of Gen. Miguel
Aranda's re ' defenders.
Less than syo of Arar.da's u;g;r:d
garrison of S.'GO1'1 regular soldiers
were still alive. Haggard and halfstarved
the beleaguered garrison
made gallant last stands behind the
bodies of their comrades?many of
them horribly disfigured by the miners'
dynamite "post-cards".
Aranda and his men Saturday took
a "death oath" that not one of them |
would be taken alive.
Gen Gonzales Lena's Communist'
miners, who have beseiged the city
since the civil war began, said the defenders
would get what they asked
?that they were "trapped like rats
and like rats the should die" with
not one remaining to tell the story
of the 12 weeks' siege.
The insurgent defenders were
forced to retreat to the Pelayo barracks
and the Vega munitions works.
Government sources at Gijon, 20
miles north, said arrangements were
being made to dynamite the munitions
works, where Aranda and most
of his force i< barricaded.
The same sources described Sunday
a "suicide charge" of three of
Pena's miners who loaded an armored
truck with 1.000 Rounds of dyna-i
mite and drove it at full speed into '
the wall of an old prison occupied by
the insurgents. The wall was blown1
to bits, a rebel machine gun nest was
destroyed and the three miners were
blown to pieces.
The suicidal feat killed rebels,
the government said.
Recovery Suits Are
Lost By Cherokees
WASHINGTON. Oct. 17?The
Cherokee Indians Monday lost in supreme
court two suits seeking recovery
of additional pay from the federal
government for their lands in
North Carolina, Tennessee and Alabama
and for payments made to
freed slaves.
The eastern group sought $2,053,51)6
under a treaty signed in 1840.
The court refused to review a ruling
of the court of claims that the
United States had fulfilled all of its
treaty obligations.
Under the 1840 agreement the
United States promised to pay the
Cherokees more than $2,000,000 for
land in Georgia, Tenneessee, and
Alabama which they gave up when
they were forcibly removed Okiahoma
in 1835.

'Miss Liberty'
Becomes Fifty
Years Old Soon
Xew York, Oct. 15.?The bronze
lady of New York harbor is a half
century old this month, her gaze still
firmly seaward and the torch in her
right hand still held high.
For fifty years she has lighted the
march of events from her pedestal
on Bedloe's Island. She has seen
-hips bringing eager, hopeful Americans
of the future from lands abroad;
>as seen ships put out to sea with
flags flying, bearing armies on their
decks.
The bronze of her ample gown
has grown green in spots from sea
spray. But still the proud, diademed
head is erect and the torch in
which twelve men can stand lights
up the harbor.
She is the Statute of Liberty.
Fifty years ago thousands of
I cheering men, women and children
I crowded the shorelines of this waI
ter-grit area when she was unveiled,
the gift of France to a sister republic.
Freedom was her message to
Americans and the world.
She saw the great blizzard of
| 188S, about which old men sti'i
I tall.; stood, the sea at her feet, when
Castle Garden where Jenny land
sang gave way to Fllis Island as immigration
depot, and the first electrocution
for crime took place in I
New York state.
She saw the greater New York I
hill signed, making the city a vast I
union of five sprawling, teeming
boroughs.
Under her light American troophips
steamed forth alter the Maine
was blown up and the Spanish-American
War broke out, and it shone
when Dewey and Hobson returned
to hc*?*oc' welcomes.
Fascists Are Ready
To CaDture Madrid
Fascist armies forged the last link
in their unbroken semi-circle around
I Madrid Sunday and set themselves
to the job of taking the capital within
10 days.
Russia, meanwhile, stood adamant
on its threat to come to the Spanish
government's rescues if other nations
refused to cease their alleged aid to
the insurgents.
The international repercussions,
which threatened for a time to shatter
Europe's peace, however, seemed
to have passed a crisis. The Soviet
government did not make clear what
position it would adopt should its deImands
be ignored, and the non-interventon
committee, which heard
them, adjourned without definite action.
j Gen. Francisco Franco's insurgenl
! forces, in a climax to a week ol
steady advances, captured Cebrero;
| and Tiemblo, on opposite banks ol
the Albereche river about 40 mile.'
west of the capital. Capture of th?
towns gave the fascist control of th?
powerhouses supplying Madrid's elec
tricity and joined the flanks of th<
nothern and southern armiees.
The irregular arc which the in
surgents are expected momentarilj
to start contracting around Madrid
starts at Navns Del Pinar, northeas
of the capital, and extends in a long
southwesterly line to the region ol
San Martin De Valdeiglesias, thence
west to Torrejon and south to To
ledo.
At some points it reaches withii
35 miles of the capital.
Insurgent reports said government
defenders were offering stifl
resistance but, poorly trained anc
I inexperienced, were easily led intc
j I inescapable traps.
