Prime Minister Quiroga resigns

General Franco arrived in Tetuán, Spanish Morocco in Northern Africa, where he will lead the rebels in their revolt against the Spanish government.

Prime Minister Casares Quiroga resigns as chief of the Republican government. President Azaña is left scrambling. Diego Martínez y Barrio has been asked to fill the position. He will no doubt establish a government as best he can.
