ouENcHING nEyoLUTroN's FLAME
A Crowd of Spanish Revolutionists Fired
Into by the Troops.

Into by the Troops.
BARCELoA Feb. 5.-The Revolutionary
spirit smouldering throughout Spain
nearly burst into flame in this city to-
day. There was peaceful demonstra-
ton in which a parade and speeches
were the main features going on in favor
of the Republican leader, Nicholas Sal
meron Alfonso. 1t was headed by
Zorillas, co-worker in the propagation
of republican ideas, and naturally the
crowds which were attracted by the
procession became somewhat excited.
This attitude of the populace seems to
have alarmed the officer in charge OF a
troop Of mounted gendarmes who had
been detailed to maintain order and in
case of such an emergency arising, sup
press any revolutionary proceeding. In
any case the officer seems to have lost
his head and to have ordered the gem
darmes to charge the crowd. They did
so, at galop, firing their pistols and
carbines right and left. The result was
that several persons were more or less
dangerously wounded and number OF
the bullets from the gendarmes' wea-
pons were flattened around the balcony
and window of the hotel where Sal
meron was speaking. The action of the
gendarmes deeply enraged the people
but the crowd seemed to have dispersed
without any open act OF retaliation.
1t is understood that the government
will be asked to order an inquiry init
the conduct of the officer in charge Of
the gendarmes. Salmeron's friend:
claim that the bullet marks around the
window from which he was speaking
show that the gendarmes tried to shoe
| him
