Insurgent Conquest of Northwest Spain Al-

most Complete.

IY EDWARD NIH. Associated Press Foreign Staff

SANTANDER, Spain (by courier ‘

to Brllbao), Aug. 27»All resishonce to the Insurgent conquest of San- tanrler Province broke down ic- day, thousands of disorganized government troops surrendering without firing a shot.

Like their comrades who gave up Bantander, the straaitling govcrn- ment forces remaining in the pro- vince capitulated readily to the advance guard of General Fran- cisco Franco's "mopping up"units.

The entire coast line from Cos- tro-Urdiales west tosantander was taken over by the Insurgents due to the collapse of government op- position.

Only Asturias Province, to the wast of Santander, remains to be clcancd out by the Insurgents in their campaign to capture the last fragments of territory remainlngto the govemment [in northwest Spain.

Mcanwhlle, a strong government attack on the Aragon front threat- rned the salient driven into the Terucl sector some weeks ago by the Insurgents.

General Franco expedited a mo- torived column from the conquered northwest to the Teruel-Zaragoza frontier to block the government drive.

Japanese Ambassador Expresses Regret

sen.

SHANGHAI. Aug. 28—(Sat- urdayl-Sir Hughc Knatchhull- Hugessen, British Ambassador to China, should recover com- pletely in six or seven weeks from the serious wounds in- flirted on him Thursday by machine-gun bullets from a Japanese plane, Dr. E. M. Gauntlett of London. chief of the physicians attending the cnvny, told the North (fhlna Dally News today.

Sir l-Iughe was able to read the messages ni’ sympathy sent to him and even to answer some of them, it was learned. Ills condition appeared to be improving steadily.

LONDON, Aug. 27—(CP Cable) —What action Great Britain has taken, or will take, in regard to

the shooting of Sir Hlighe Knatchbull-Hugessen. Ambsasador to China. remained a closely

guarded official secret tonight. It was reliably learned, however, it will go beyond a mere protest.

Foreign Secretary Eden received Japanese Ambassador Shigeru Yo- shicla at the Foreign Office, where he called to present Japan's for- mal "regret" over the shooting Thursday on the road between Nanking and Shanghai. The am- bassador wns gravely wounded when a, Japantse aviator poured machine gun fire at his automo- bile.

After the meeting of the two diplomats the Foreign Office is- sued no stntrmcnt. It was under-

stood further details required by the Foreign Office were not yet forthcoming from China. Other sources indicated Eden had pre- sentcd to the ambassador Grcat. Britain's demands for satisfaction of what most papers callcd “an outrage."

J. L. Dodds. British charge d1] nfTalres in Tokyo. was reported to have been instructed. to make a formal protest to the Jupanesr? government.

(l-lavns News Agency said it was understood Dodds‘ representations will constitute a vigorous protest. approaching an ultimatum, and will demand assurances that simi- lar incidents will not recur— ihe assurances to bc backed by guar- antces.

(The Associated Press said mwni" in London's financial quarters were ready to wager British rep- resentation would be withdrawn from the court of the Japanese Empcror.)

Sir Robert Cralgle, ambassador to Tokyo, has not yet taken up his post. Recently appointed to succeed Sir Rnbzrt Clivn, now ambassador to Belgium, Sir Rob- ert Craigie left Honolulu this week from London to Tokyo, _

(The attitude of the Forelnn Oi- fice, the Associated Press said, was authoritatively described as one of "unbounded exarpcration" that the ambassador should be attacked. Criticism was heard also that the Japanese ambassador only today called to express regret whereas the attack took place Thursday.)

The King and Prime Minister Chamberlain wcrc together tonight at Balmoral Castlmscotlandwhcrc they we're joined by the Earl of Perth, the former Sir Eric Drum- mond. one of Britain's most ex- perlcncccl d"fv‘.omats. Now ambas- sador to Rome. the Earl was for- merly secretary-amoral of the League of Nations.

Eden spoke with the King and the Prime Minister by telephone before his conference with the Ja- panese ambassador, it was learned. Fair-sized crowds waited outside the Foreign Office to watch the Japanese diplomats arrival and departure. He was with the for- elgn minister about half an hour.

Informed persons said Eden rc- fuscd to entertain claims that Sir Hughe had been imprudent in at- tempting to motor from Nanking to shanghai without notifying the Japanese.

The foreign secretary also was said to have declined to accept as an excuse a Japanese contention that the Union Jack on the am- bassadors motorcar was not visible to the Japanese filers who at- tacked him.

While reports from Shanflal that the ambassador was maklnr, normal progress were received with relief, it was considered certain the recovery of Sir Hughe would not render Great Britain's tie-i mands for satisfaction less stern. ,

I'm Evening Standard gdltorinlw ly remarked:

"it ls extraordinary that the Jgpnhes? government delayed un- m today to show its concern ovcr an incident of such magnitude."

A special funeral train carried the body of the one-time secretary of the United States treasury from Southampton, N. Y., where tho city's greatest philanthropist since the days o." Andrew Car- negie, dled last zrght.

The only member of the im- mediate family not aboard the train was Richard King Mellon, the nephew who, financial circles predicted. will succeed to the head of the family's vast financial em- p're.

News of Mellons death ivas carried by airplane from Alaska to a little island off the coast where the nephew is vacationing from his duties as president of the Mellon National Bank.
