account
"At the door Of the saloon they were selling

paper which represents the ideas OF those who
called the meeting. No. says the editors are 'in
the breach. ready to defend the resolu-
tons OF the international and at the
same time atheism, without which basis
neither reason nor logic would be on their
side.n No. relates tile story OF the struggle of
the working classes in Paris against the rural and
other classes, called bourgeois,e, and cxhorts the
workingmen OF Spain to seize their arms and
throw themselves resolutely into the fight like
those OF the Paris Commune. No. teaches that
there can be liberty where there is inequality of
fortune, and that neither is liberty compatible with
any kind of authority, &C. On commencing busl-
ness the chairman explained that this was an adj
Journed meeting, that held at ST. lsidore having
been interrupted, and that 1t was intended as
commemoration OF The Paris Commune, which he
thereupon eulogized. He concluded by Offering
for the consideration of the meeting the following
question :-"What course should the prolctariat
pursue IN order to arrive the most promptly at
complete emancipation?"
J. Cecilio said the working class must consider
all the other classes its enemies therefore, it did
party, but to watch their opportunity and seize 1t
with arms In their hands.
Manuel Rodriguez talked OF immediate insur-
rection.
Jose Romero condemned the idea that all the
classes OF society were the enemies OF workingmcn.
Being hissed he retreated from his position, but
still ventured to think it better to harmonic all
classes of workers with capital. ''citzen' re-
piled that the emancipation OF the workingmen
could not be effected till they were emancipated
from capital; that the ''people" alone (being the
French idea of ..people'D should dictate laws,
and not the Cortes, whose palace was the
palace of crime. He concluded with:-"Down with
al authority The people alone, without depu-
tiesln Another citizen said, ave must march to
the social republic through the federal republic.
The federal is only the road to the other.n Another
Cried "We want neither theOcratism, nor mill
tarism nof proprictorsm. Let us unite with the
International, for we want communism
This much will sufice 1t Is the old story, with
which every one is now familiar. We laugh at it
In the United States as extravagant nonsense but,
without stopping to discuss the wisdom or folly Of
laughing at it even there we may be persuaded
that it will not do to laugh at it in Europe. This
thing is going on all over Spain. Every town of
any note has it's group OF Internationalists,
who talk srepubicanism" OF the kind just shown.
yesterday, under the pretext Of 'arousing indgna-
ton" against the Carsts. i doubt If the word
"Car,ist' was pronounced once by any of the
speakers. They had red flag, upon which were
the words Federal Republic" and underneath a
skull and bones This nag was carried by a SER
geant Of the regular army. The crowd Of red caps
marched to and from the place Of NEE ting headed
by an army band. After the meeting well-known
colonel OF the army waited upon the Civil Cover
nor and told him it was the desire Of the ''people"
that General Contreras should be maintained as
Captain General OF Catalonia, and General velarde's
entry into Barcelona resisted with powder and
ball If necessary.
But the violence Of this madcap colonel pro-
duced reaction. The Republican Democratic
Federal Committeen Of Barcelona issued procla-
nation in the evening declaring for velarde; but
this decentralization OF the committee is
probably due in great measure to the conviction
that those who appointed General velarde are fed
eralists-a word which means great deal at the
present moment In Spain.
II the world should find this condition Of things
ssatisfactory,n all governments should at once
convey to Madrid assurances OF confidence in the
Spanish Republic. II not, those who are in arms
against all the causes consequences Of the ex-
listing disorder should have fair play.
General Velarde has thought proper to halt at
Reus till the Contreras squall should blow over
Now he can come as soon as he pleases. The fede-
raj Republican Committee have forced Contreras
TO stick to his resignation and have sent the mad
cap colonel prisoner to Madrid.
THE WAR IN NAVARRO.
The news from Navarro is important. The forces
Of Dorregarry, ono and others, amounting accord
Ing to some. to 1900, according to Others to 5000
men, were concentrated four days ago at point
about equi-distant from vittoria and Logroho, and
IN attack upon one or the other is expected. The
latter town is the residence OF old General
Espartero, who has sent q pressing mes
cage to Madrid asking that reinforcements
be sent without delay. A Madrid paper
of the I'd publishes letter from a sergeant who
deserted to the Carlists, giving glowing account
Of their organization, equipment and discipline
The day after his arrival among them, eight ten
days ago, Dorregarry held a review, which he pro-
fesscs astonished him. The stoppage OF the Madrid
mails deprives us, unfortunately, Of later news
from that quarter.
There is no doubt that General ono has sue
Cceded in reaching the Carlist headquarters.
The government forces, under General Nouvas,
are said to consist OF twenty-nine battalions. In
my case that army remains inactive in Pampeluna,
where 1t has been ever since the Montreal battle.
THE WAR IN CATALONIA.
Since the capture Of Berga nothing OF impor-
lance has occurred. While Saballs is busy in the
mountain region organizing and arming the new
recruits who have docked to him since the sue
cesses OF Ripo and Berga, Trstany, ut the head of
. force estimated at 1000 men, has been recon-
noitring the towns of Sosona and Igualada. A
part OF this force captured mail train three days
ago, burned the official correspondence and repub-
ncan newspapers from Madrid taking $4,000 from
the government carrier. The passengers were not
no.estcd in the slightest manner and with the
exceptions mentioned, the mail was not interfered
with.
In Barcelona some OF the churches have been
reopened, but those OF st. James, st. Monica and
Our Lady Of Bclen have been converted into
barracks for the armed volunteers. In the first
mentioned they have broken open and ransacked
