London, Feb. 23.
General Franco's troops who yesterday recaptured Teruel, have advanced three miles south of the city and are now threatening the main Valencia road.
According to the latest Salamanca communique, they have taken numerous positions and contacted ihe Nationalists engaged in mopping up operations in Tuna Valley.
The number of Republican dead are reported to be over 2,000, says the communique.
Fantastic scenes of desolation were witnessed in Teruel, where over 3,000 prisoners were taken, the communique goes on. It concludes by declaring that Teruel will not be habitable for a long time.—Reuter.
