1t is said from Cadiz supposed to be the Saragossa:
out she has not taken any part Ia the conflict so far
as can hear. Certainly no very heavy guns have
been playing to-day or we should have known IT,.

There very little lighting here and very little in

board the ship Late this afternoon there WAS
a tremendous fight up IN the Plaza do In Constitu-

neighbors below in the barrlcades, having deserted
their comfortable quarters as soon as General de Ro

de la Constitution strongly barrlcaded and occupied
all the houses in the square and adjacent streets.
The troops had taken several barrcades and were
fairly surrounding the square. Their losses had
been very slight, although the fighting was heavy
enough TO suggest great slaughter. Somehow or
other there Is great deal OF noise and but little
damage done. It has always been so IN spanish
revolutions and probably always win be so In the
future At all events, here was seat OF the revolu-
tiOn The firing was certainly incessant; Darricades
had been taken and yet not bakers dozen
killed, after fight OF three or four hours.
All sorts OF missiles are used. Bird shot Is nying
about like hail and bnilets are not wantng but no
one gets hit. How Is its Qnten Sdbe3 This plaza
IL unquesti0nablv the last stronghold Of the revolu-
tioniss and the fight will soon be over. The troops
have gained the advantage and the reyolutonists
have lost confidence. They hoped to hear that the
railway had been cut and that Auduar had risen;
but there has been no movement OF that kind. As
in Cadlz, so in Malaga. the fight had to be made by
the people unsupported. One barricade at the time
Cadiz was in arms, and the story wonld have been
into submission in detail. At the Plaza de
Ia Constitution l saw many prisoners,
comfortably they were smoking and discussing
the events OF the day as coolly as possible. The
soldiers were on perfect good terms with them. and
there evidently no feeling Of hostility on either
side. Several hundred prisoners have been taken
already, and doubtless more will be brought IN, for
in all the houses in the Of the troops found
armed persons. who are at once made prisoners.
As write. at midnight, the firing has completely
armed prisoners have left the city and taken to the
mountains and will thus escape, although force Is
said to have been sent in pursuit It is to be hoped
that these fellows will not open guerrilla muss,
because no one knows how that would end.
Business OF course has been entirely suspended
since day before Yesterday, and the markets have
been closed There has been no bread baked for
two days, and the supply Is exhausted. Few people
have enough for good meal, and 1t will be several
days before the country people begin to bring in
supplies again. II will require several days to bring
things to rights. The shipping Is Suffering a good
DEAL the captains are all penned up In the harb0r,
incapable Of doing anything All the merchant
steamers got to sea at once, put the sailing vessels
had to remain and fare well they could. No
mails were sent out yesterday or to-day. To-mor-

Cordova BY that shall try to send this letter. To
morrow will probably dawn In peace on the city

recent occurrences as far as could obtain them OF
course with the streets impossible and fighting go

the facts at once hope tomorrow to give the
result more surely.
1t il said that General de Rodas will go to Granada
from here, to disarm the people. He Will probably
have further trouble, after the Cadiz and Malaga
lessons ~--sa-
The weather is warm and bright, like May day In
New York.
