PARIS--France today sent additional troops to the western Pyreness to counter heavy reinforcement of Spanish garrisons just across the frontier.

Reports reached the French border of the arrival at Vera, a Basque village barely three miles from the French frontier, of 5,000 Spanish infantry.

According to border reports there is similar activity at La Lines, near Gibraltar, where Galacian reinforcements are so numerous that barracks have overflowed and soldiers, tanks and artillery are parked in the bullring.

British engineers at Gibraltar last night barricaded the main road leading from La Linea to the famous British fort guarding the entrance to the Mediterranean. French military and sir attaches from Burgos went to Gibraltar by automobile where they conferred with British commanders.
