Near Exhaustion Madrid, July 28 — (U.R) —Rebel and government, anmies, nearing lexhastion after days of constant fighting, attacked arid counter attacked in the mountains north of the sapital today. A slowing pace on both sides indicated the possibility, even the likelihood, of a stalemate in which for some days neither side might gain a decisive advantage in the Madrid area. The rebels, hurled back by the loyalists in a series of fierce mountain clashes, have succeeded, apparently, in reforming their linen and are again in position to meet attack with attack. Government forces seemed still to hold the initiative all over the porth. Urgent appeals for assistance broadcast again and again over the radio from Seville, the chief lebel center in the far south, pointed to a desperate situation there despite rebel sorties on Malaga, on the southeast coast. Predictions of early victory for the rebels ceased, and Gen. Gonzalo Queipo De Llano, commander in chief of the south, appealed instead to all rebel sympathizers to join him —including those he said were “hiding in idleness” in Gibraltar. He appealed also for arms from ) the British, German and Italian governments, to be delivered to the Seville area..
