a few of the Republican Guards fol-
lowed their example.
When these reports were sent a
large number of armed civilians were
continuing to hold the sailors at

houses, is reported in the hands of

rested Monday by revolving sailors
during the fighting in which many
sailors and republican guards were
killed and wounded, was released to-
day. He spent the night in the base
ment OF the former royal stables.
Some sailors were in favor of Inn
mediate execution OF Wells. Others
proposed that he be locked up in a
small chamber with the dead bodies
OF sailors and other victims of Mon
days fighting. That he escaped
violence and possible DEATH was due
to the intercession of Socialist
leaders.

from which most Of them were
driven Monday by the Republican
guards. Twelve hundred sailors are
out in the royal stables.
