| = ~~-~A l A Revolt Of Republican Soldiers i'm Madrid Which is Soon Quel1ed by the Government.
 MADRID, Sept. 20-Last night an infantry regiment quartered on the Gil Bias barracks revolted and broke down the partition wall which separated them from two cavalry reg ments, whom they joined. Infantry and cavalry fraternized and, notwithstanding the efforts of the regimental officers to prevent 6 spread of the revolt, three hundred men decamped. In their efforts to restrain sub ordinates and force them to quarters three of the officers were severely wounded. As soon as the soldiers reached the street they divided into two parties, one marching to the Prado, where there were two thousand troops quar- tered, and the other making it's way through the center of the city shouting "Long live the republic!" Citizens who heard these cries were amazed, there having been no suspicion of the outbreak. The streets were quickly thronged with ex- cited people,. and at the theaters there was enormous excitement, which in some cases almost amounted to panic. At nearly all the houses the performances were sus-
 
 way to the docks and other barracks, upon which they immediately opened fire, but in each case they were repulsed. They then seized the Southern railway station, which they held until the arrival of a body of loy- alist troops. To these they offered little or no resistance, their appearance causing a regular stampede, most of the insurgents escaping into the country. General Pavia, in command of the loyalist troops, pursued the insurgents and succeeded in killing one rebel officer. During the outbreak the rebels shot General Velarde, who refused to join them, and mortally wounded Count Mirossl. A colon el of artillery was also killed. Sev- eral prisoners were captured and now closely confined. Forty of the insurgents who reached Alcada this morning seized the station agent there and compelled him to start special train for the purpose of as- sisting their escape. Another train filled with government troops started in pursuit. The government telegraphed to the railway officials requesting them to stop the train bearing the insurgents who were fleeing to Alcada. The request was not complied with because the railway men on the train were afraid of the insurgents and the train arrived at Alcsda without delay. The rebels here failed to arouse the sympathy they anticipated and they attempt ed to return to Madrid. This they found impossible as the road had been obstructed. They came as far Vicalvaro, where they were met by a strong party of royaliet troops, who attacked them. A sharp skirmish was kept up for some time, resulting in the com plete rout of the rebels. Several of the ln- surgents were wounded and these together with a number of others who were unable to make their escape were captured. The re- volt of the troops in the Gil Bias barracks has had no effect whatever upon stocks. The market is quiet and no financial excitement is apprehended.
 Great excitement was caused here tonight by the receipt of news that the rebels had seized the town of Morata. Firing was dis tinctly heard in the direction of that town and strong force of troops sent thither. When the troops arrived at Morata they found that large number of the followers of Gorilla had assembled and their leaders were indulging in speeches of the most in cendiary character. The troops attacked them and drove them from the town. Sev- eral of the leaders and many of their follow CTS were taken prisoners and brought back to Madrid.
