Al SPANISH REVOLT.
An Uprising of Soldiers In Madrid-S
eral Killed.

An Uprising of Soldiers In Madrid-Sev-
eraI Killed.
Amutiny of q body of Spanish troops
in Madrid, on the night of the 10Th,
caused much alarm and excitement.
The trouble YVES begun by regiment
of infantry quartered in the Gil Bias
barracks. The soldiers revolted.
broke down the partition wall that
separated them from the quarters
occupied by the cavalry, and inter
mingled with the men of the two caval-
ry regiments, q number of whom joined
in the revolution. The officers of all
three regiments did all in their power
to dissuade the men from revolving,
but 800 soldiers, after beating q num-
Der of officers and wounding three,
deserted the barracks and marched in
two bodies through the town. One
body went to the Prado, the prin.
cipal park and promenade in Mad
rid. Two thousand troops were
quartered in the Prado at the
time, and the revolutionists ex-
pected to be joined by them. The
other body went hurrahing through
the center of Madrid, calling on the
people to join in the revolution, cry
ing, olive the Republic" and making
all kinds of threats against the mon-
archy. The insurgents attacked and
attempted to secure possession of the
arsenals and docks, but wererepulsed.
They finally got possession of the
Southern Railway, but were soon dis
lodged by the loyal troops after
short fight. The revolution was led
by Brig Gen. Fellacampa, who escaped
on q special train. Among those ar
rested are many officers. One of the
officers leading the insurgents was shot
and killed. The rebels shot Gen.
Velarde for refusing to join them.
They also mortally wounded Count
Mirasol, and killed colonel of artil-
lerv.
Great excitement was caused by the
news that the rebels had seized Mo-
rata, a town near Madrid. Firing was
heard in the direction of the town
and detachment of soldiers was sent
thither. A crowd of the followers of
Gorilla had assembled there. They
were scattered by the Royalist troops,
many being taken prisoners.

IT is reported that orders from Rome
enjoin upon the Catholic churches OF
Cincinnati and in the United States to
pay off the 100000 of debts of the
late Archbishop Purcell. This, if true,
is strictly honest. The people of Gin
cinnati, mainly the poorer classes,
year after year made the archbishop
their banker. He used the money to
erect fine churches and schools and
colleges, and none of it for his own
personal use. But when called upon
for settlement he could not cash his
notes, and for years hundreds OF
families have lived III want, having
lost their all. Since the death of the
archbishop the receiver has souandered
some quarter of O. million assets, and
some action ought to be taken in the
interest of the church and the credit

the Freiheit, the newspaper paid well
and Most lived in nigh style, but dur
ing his present enforced soiourn in the

ors. Miller went to the peni-
