revolutionary movement on the part OF
the republican party, but which sub
sequently proved to be a desperate
attempt upon the part of certain specu-

decline in prices Of securities dealt in
upon exchange. For hardy daring, the
scheme has never beeh equalled by des-
perate spectators in this or any other
country. A band of 10 men, armed with
rifles and revolvers, cautiously ap-
preached the building end attempted to
surprise the guards, it being the thieves
intention to iforce their way into the
barracks. The sentries discovered the
approach, whom they ordered to halt.
The men made a rush upon the sentries
trusting To the confusion which they
expected would follow, that they could
force their way into the barracks. AS
they ran toward the sentries they de-
livered volley from their weapons, and
some Of the guards fell to the ground
wounded. Other seutries answered the
volley with a fusilade from their rifles,
and for short time regular battle |
was fought and number on both sides |
wounded. In the meantime officers
stationed at the barracks summoned the |
troops to arms, and ia very short time |
the attacking party was surrounded.
Resistance was useless, and the whole |
party placed under arrest. They will |
be tried by court martial, and the
chances are they will be shot.
