North Sea Battle Disturbs MP's

British Territorial Waters Respected by Spanish Armed Sloop SPECIAL TO THE "N.C.D.N."

London, Nov. 4.

The Spanish Nationalist motorship Nadir, which was stated to have shelled the Spanish steamer Cantabrio two days ago, steamed into the Channel yesterday, apparently bound for Spain.

Photographs, published in the press, showed it to resemble an ordinary passenger ship. One picture marked four spots, where the photographer saw what appeared to be guns, including one which was presumably concealed in a box-like structure near the stern.
