SPANISH CONVICTS REVOLT.
They Overpower the Warders, but Are Sub
dued by the Military.

1ney OSerpOWer "aruers, Dut Are sub
dued by the Military.
MADRID. Nov. 16.-During the past wear
several outbreaks among convicts have occurred
in prisons in various parts of the country.
Today the most serious of ali the series oc-
Cured in the prison at Tarragona and nine Of
the convicts were killed.
Ordinary convicts i'll Spanish prisons are al
lowed considerable freedom within the walls,
and this practice enabled them in this case
to carry ont their plan Shortly after
the prisoners were released from their
cells this morning they mutinied. At
the warders. and the latter, taken
completely by surprise, were soon over
powered. The convicts soon had pos
session of the prison, with the exception
of the quarters occupied by the governor.
Before they could secure the keys that would
give them their freedom the governor sent au
urgent appeal for aid to the military authori-
ties. who promptly responded by sending de-
tachment Of troops to the scene. When the
soldiers arrived they found a majority of the
convicts assembled in the court yard.
The commander of the troops called upon the
prisoners to return to their cells, but he was
greeted with oaths and derisive yells. Again
he ordered them to go back. The con-
victs, who had armed themselves with
all manner Of things that could be used
as weapons, again refused TO obey and in q
body advanced upon the soldiers. The rifles of
the soldiers were loaded with ball cartridges,
and as the convicts moved toward them
orders were rapidly given to them
to fire. The order was obeyed, but
before the smoke had cleared away the convicts
were upon the soldiers and desperate hand
to-hand fight followed. The convicts
sought to wrest the weapons from the
soldiers, but in this they were not success
full II they had been they would
probably have driven the troops of and made
their escape. Acting undev orders from their
commander, some Of the soldiers retreated
from the struggling, yelling convicts and re-
loaded their weapons.
Then, awaiting an opportunity when there
was no danger of hitting q comrade, they would
fire upon the mutineers. perfect pandemo-
mum reigned for time, but finally most Of the
convicts were overpowered and driven, still
shouting and cursing, back TO their cells.
Nine Of the mutineers had BEEN shot dead
and sixteen others were seriously wounded.

Three Gentlemen Whom Mr.. Cieveial
May Call to His Aid.

Three Gentlemen Whom Mr.. Cleveland
May Call to His Aid.
1t is believed that none of Mr.. Cleveland's
old cabinet will hold place in the new cabinet
to be formed on the 4th Of March. 1t is UNI
derstood that he will select an entirely new set
Of advisors.
1t Is not to be supposed that any one knows
whom he will select, and possibly he has no
definite idea on the subject himself a. yet. Re-
port has it, however, that Judge Jas. @. Carter,
who is q lawyer of very high standing in New
York, a friend of Cleveland's and an active DEM
ocrat Of recent years, will be called upon to
take the portfolio Of state.
Gen. Hatch of Missouri lie spoken Of for SEQ
Rotary Of Agriculture 1t is not improbable
that ex-Representative Collins Of MAssschu-
sets may be asked to preside over the Depart
ment of Justice.
1t was understood during Cleveland's term
in the White House that Collins was not par
ticularly close to him. but at the Chicago con-
vention this year Collins was Q most earnest
worker for Cleveland.
