Burgos, Jan. 26.
With flags flying and bands playing, Navarrese divisions, and General Yuan Yague's Moorish troops, heralded the triumphal entry of the Nation-&lists into Barcelona at noon. There was no fighting as most of the Repubican troops left before the Nationalists entered.
General Franco's troops first o€ cupied Montomich, historic fortress: dominating the Catalan capital, and they were followed by the Italian Arrow Divisions, and the Spanish Foreign Legion.
General Franco has thus secured the biggest prize in the whole of the Spanish War since it began on July 18, 1996.
Barcelona contains the arsenal and fort which supplied most of the munitions for the Republican forces.
As Nevarrese troops began their march into the city today, 500,000 people cheered wildly. Every window and balcony flew Nationalist flags of red and gold.
