A telegram from Barcelona under date OF to-day,
supplies the following exciting report OF the con.
dtion Of affairs just existing in that city and
Its more immediate neighborh0Od. Later de-
spatches received here from Sanahuja state that
twenty Of the volunteers who surrendered to the
Carlists were butchered in the streets, and the
tate Of forty other prisoners is unknown, and it is
believed they, too, have been killed The atrocities
Df the insurgents caused immense excitement here.
The militia assembled at their armorles and de-
manded that the Carlists now held as prisoners in
this city be given up to them for execution In re-
taliation for the crueltes committed by the insur-
gents at SanahuJa.
The authorities refused TO surrender the prison.
crs an6 transferred them to fortress in the har-
Dor to save item from the wrath OF the militia.
TIE LAW OF HOSTAGE.
1t Is probable that number OF well known Car.
fist sympathizers in Barcelona win be arrested and
held as hostages for the safe return OF the volun
yteers now in the hands OF the insurrectionists.

the Judge without publicity, and prisoners are
compelled to answer written interrogatories
without knowing the charges against them or
who are their accusers.
