was eight, is reduced to three cents. Registered

provided for

SPAIN
MADRID, Oct. 12.-Soon after the cortes con-
vened in session to-day, the minister for the
colonies announced that the government had
received information OF republican revolt at
Ferrol
He said 1900 men belonging TO the garrison
of the arsenal at that town, together with q
portion Of the naval coast guard and some of
the population, were Joined in the movement.
The leaders of the revolt are Montiio and RaJaS.
The minister further stated that the troops in
the fortress at Ferrol refused to join the insur-
rectonists, and arc holding out against them,
awaiting the arrival of reinlorcements dispatched
to the town by the government. The combined
force, il is believed, will be amply sufficient to
suppress the revolt.
Later details state that the garrison of the
fortress and crew of the Spanish war steamer
Mayuedo continued to withstand the overtures
of the rebels and remained faithful to the gov
eminent. Notwithstanding this the insurgents
succeeded in gaining possession of the gunbOats
which were anchored in the harbor.
They also obtained possession of the light
house and Imprisoned the keeper. BY these
means they have closed the port so that the gov
eminent reinlorcementS cannot reach the place
by sea- When the minister of the colonies an
nounced the facts in the cortes, the Alphonsust
and republican deputies took occasion 10 diSa-
vow any completely of their partisans with the
movement, and declare that their sympathy is
with the government and against the insurrec-
tiouiss.
MADRID, Oct. 13.-An official dispatch from
Ferral reports that the insurgents still hold

poorly provided with ammunition. The red re-
publican flag is flying from the masts of YES
sells and over the palaces seized by the revolu-

rison in the attack on the rebels without delay.
The Gaceta says the insurgents have seized
the steamer Cadiz, a tug boat, and several
barks The citizens seem to look upon the
movement with indifference, taking no part for
or against it, The military governor in COM
mand of the post, and all the officers,
are faithful to the government, and
with the troops of the garrison occupy
strategic points. The captain general of Co
runna, with all his disposable forces, has
marched fol Ferral. Troops have also been dis
patched thither from Gijon, Santander and
Bilbao; and an iron clad has sailed from Car
thagena FOR the same point. The only place CT
importance held by the insurgents is the arsenal
from which they will soon be unable to move
Fort Philippe, which is occupied by government
forces, commands the entrance OF the harhor
and prevents rebel vessels from moving out The
insurgents are already demoralized and several
have deserted and surrendered to loyal authori-
ties.
In the cortes, Saturday. debate arose on the
elections in Porto Rico and the extension of the
electoral privileges TO Cnba. Prime Minister Sc
covilla told the house that no reforms could be
introduced in Cuba while a single man remained
