MADRID, Sept 20.-A revolution was at
tempted last evening by number OF the
Spanish troops quartered in this city. The
uprising was ill-planned and ill-managed,
and practically amounted to little more
than mutiny. The trouble was inaugu-
rated by regiment of infantry quartered
in the Gil Bias barrack. The soldiers re-
volted, broke down the PARTITION wall that
separated item from the quarters occupied
by the cavalry and intermlngled with the
men of the two cavalry regiments. num-
Der of whom Joined in the revolution. The
officers in all three of the regiments did all
in their power to diSSuade the men from riot
ing, but 800 soldiers, after beating number
of officers and wounding three. deserted
the barracks and marched in two bodies
through the town. One body went to
Prado, the principal park and promenade
of Madrid. Two thousand troops were
CHARTERED at the Prado at the time and the
revolutionists 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 theaters and
other places of amusement are crowded.
The populace were taken by surprise
In most of the public places the
people tiOcked out in panic. In
all. the entertainments were alb
ruptly terminated. The streets were soon
filed with people, nearly all OF whom were
terror-stricken, because of exaggerated ideas
of what was transpiring. The Insurgents
attempted among their first exploits to
secure possession OF the arsenals, decks
and barracks, which they attacked with
open fire. but all these places were we'll and
successfully defended. and the rebels were
repulsed. Finally, their reverSes drawing
them together. 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 were marched to the
railway, and after short fight, they COM

pursuing. During the fighting in the city
one of the officers leading the insurgents
was shot and killed The rebels shot Gen.
Velarde for refusing to join them. They
also MORALLY wounded Count Mirasol and
killed colonel of artillery. Martial law
was proclaimed throughout the city as soon
as the condition of affairs was clearly per-
ceived by the government. The emeute
was complete surprise to Madrid. Quiet
was soon restored after the revolutionistS
were driven from the Southern railway. A
number of the insurgents were taken prls-
oners. This morning there is no appear
ance of revolution or even disorder.
When the insurgents fled from town forty
of them compelled the station master to
place at their disposal special train, with
which they made their flight to Alacla De
Hunares. Government troops were soon
in pursuit in another special train.
ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS
of last ninht's revolt show that the insur-
gents also shouted Long live the repub-
lie, the army and SPAIN" A large number
of civilians joined their ranks. When the
authorities summoned the military to put
down the instruction the rebels made
fight for awhile against the local troops and
it was in the first brush between the oppoS-
ing forces that Gen. Velarde and the artil-
lery colonel were killed. When the reve-
were making no response to their appeal
they abandoned the fight in town and
scampered for the country, most of them
in the direction of Alcala de Henares, a
walled city in New CASTLE and but seven
teen miles from Madrid Many Of the
rebels gave up the fight before the general
retreat of their comrades and made their
escape in the darkness. The authorities
are making great many arrests for COM
plicity in the revolution, and a large pro-
portion of the prisoners are officers. 1t is
learned to-day that the revolution was
LED BY BRIG. GEN. vILLACAMPA.
He escaped on the special train, which
left the city ON the Southern railway.
Loyal troops are securing the suburbs OF
Madrid in search of fugitive rebels. Tele-
grams from all the provinces show that
public order remains undisturbed. The
ministers, who happened to be all absent
from the city yesterday, have been sum-
moned to return Immediately. 1t has been
learned that the revolutiOnists who started
for Alcala de Henares becoming convinced
that the loyaliSts would stop and probably
capture them, stopped the special train Ell
route, sent it back to Madrid and fled across
the country. The streets of the city are
alive with crowds of people eagerly dis
cussing the occurrences last night.
