Madrid, Oct. 6, (Saturday)--The Spanish government, sitting in war council and besieged by reports of rebellion from every section of the Republic prepared today to smash the extremist revolt by throwing every loyal regiment at its command into the field.

With the general strike of workers spreading rapidly through Spain's industrial centers, and the provinces seething in rebellion, further complications came after midnight, when strikers practically paralyzed every communication and transportation artery in the nation.

Incomplete reports from the scenes of yesterday's battles in the mining region indicated that loss of life already has reached 100, and that more than 400 storm guards, civilians and strikers have been wounded.
