The Civil War in Spain: insurgents from Carthagena foraging at Torrevieja, 1873. 'This twofold war, of the Carlists in the north and east, and of the Intransigentes or Communists, on the south-east coast of Spain, both combating the Republican Government established at Madrid, continues to rage with unabated fury...The Intransigentes of Carthagena have been sending out their war-ships to threaten the neighbouring towns on the coast, and to extort contributions of money, as was done at Aguilas and Torrevieja...Carthagena is about to have the military and naval force of the Madrid Government concentrated against it'. From "Illustrated London News", 1873.
