Lisbon, Feb. 27.

The Nationalists are making heavy concentrations of men and material in the Chateau-Valluxo zone, on the Castellon front, and also on the La Maranosa-Madrid front, on the Valen-cla route, according to reports reaching Lisbon.

Galician troops under General Aranda continue to garrison the Cas-fellen front, while the troops of General Varela occupy a sector adjacent io Teruel. The army of General Saliquet occupies the Madrid front. A big Nationalist offensive against the Republicans is expected sha-tly.—Reuter.
