that the cavalry engaged at Barcelons

opened fire, causing great losses. The
survivors surrendered.
The statement further says that il
nov remains only 20 master small

Thus, according to official adviccs. the
insurrection has been checked. but at a
great sacrifice Of life. After fighting des.

behind barricsdes, the principal mobs
were gradually driven to St Martins
square. where they found themselves en-.
trapped. Heavy attachments Of artil.
lery and cavalry came up and surround.

The artillery Immediately opened fire,
moving down the revolutionists, who
sought to escape, but were met at every
point with shot and shell. Those OF the
insurgents who were not killed OF Sc
riously wounded threw down their arms
and surrendered.
The insurrection continues in the

Three thousand soldiers have either been

In Madrid. as well as in other cities
