was attempted last evening by num-
Der of Spanish troops quartered in this
sitv; the uprising was ilI-planned, and
iI-managed, and practically amounted
10 little more than a meeting. The
trouble was inaugurated by regiment

chem from quarters occupied by the
cavalry and intermingled with
the men of two cavalry regiments,

marched in two bodies through the
town; one body went to the Prado, the
principal park and promenade Of
Madrid; 1000 troops were quartered in
the Prado at the time, ana the revolu-
tionists expected to be joined by them.
The other body went hurrahing through
the center of Madrid, calling on the
people to Join in the revolution, crying:
Live the Republic and making
all kinds of threats against the
monarchy. At this time the theatres
and other places of amusement were
crowded. The pOpuIace were taken by
surprise. Ia most Of the public places,
the people fOcked out in a panic; all
entertainments we're abruptly termin
ated, the streets we're soon filled with
people, nearly all of whom were terror
stricken, because of the exaggerated
ideas of what was transporting. The in
suTgentS attempted, among the first eX-
plOits, to secure possession of the arsen.
ais and barracks, which they attacked
with open fire; but all these places were
well and successfully defended, and
the rebels were TePulsed. Finally
their reverses drawing them to
gether, the insurgents attacked and
got possession of the Southern Railway.
By this time the authorities had taken
in the situation and had fully prepared
to master it. The loyal troops marcued
to the railway and after short fight
they completely dislodged the revo u
tiOnists, who dispersed into the coun-
try, General Pavia pursuing. During
the fighting in the city one Of the Off
GERS of the leading insurgents was shot
and killed The rebels shot General
Eelarde for refusing to join them. They
also mOrtallv wounded Count MirasOl
and killed the colonel of the artillery.
Martial law was proclaimed throughout
the city as soon as the condition
of affairs was clearly perceived by the
government. The emeute was a COM
DIete surprise TO Madrid. Quiet was
SOOl restored after the reVolutiOnIStS
were driven from the southern railway.
4 number of the insurgents were taken
prisoners. This morning there il no
appearance of a revolution, or even of
disorder. When the insurgents fed
from the town forty OF them compelled
the station master to place at their dis
pOsal a special train, with which they
mad their fight 10 Alcala de Henares.
Government troops were soon in pursuit
IN another special train.
MADRID, September 0.-NOon.-Ad-
ditiOnal particulars of last nights re-
volts show that the insurgents also
shouted, Long live the Republic,
army and Spain" A large number of
civilians joined their ranks. When the !.
authorities summoned the military
to pus down the instruction,
the rebels made a stand for
awhile against the loyal troops, |
and 1t was IN the first brush between the !
opposing forces that General Vetarde !
ana the artillery colonel were killed. |
