PRISON FIRST ATTACKED.
Tine prison was the firet point of
attack by the revolutioniste, as it held
within its walle General Reyes. The
troops itt charge of the prison remain-
ed loyal, but were taken by surprise,
and the capture of the prison was
comparatively easy. The revolters
then marched to the Santiago peniteu-
tiary, and after a fieree conflict suc-
ceeded in foreleg an entrance. Here
geneeal Diaz was releaee-d. Scores of
°thee Federal prisoners were given
their liberty,. and on being supplied
with arms took their placto at the
head of the mob.
- Ink to this time there had been riolUe

the prisoners assuming the lead it was '

REYES INSTANTLY KILLED,
Suddenly the eouth door of the palace,
known as the President's door„ flashed
open, and from within came the report
of a rifle.
At the same moment General Reyes,
standing near Diaz, erumpled, into a
heap, He had heen snot through the
head and died instautly,
Ire death NVIIS the eignal for general
fighting. In an instant the maehino
guns on the roof of the cathedral began
spitting their hail of lead and steel and
simultaneously the artillery, which had
approached from the south, began an at-
tack on the cavalry.
The mob in tile etreete swung about
and beat a hasty retreat for any
available shelter. In a minute or two
the Zoealo was filled -with the deadtand

marked the place where bullets had
found a mark. The shrapnel and the.
solid shot of the field guns wreaked
carnage":
It is eonservatively estimated that
two hum:trio' were killed in the Zocalo,
and half a, thousand have been wounded.
The battle favored the Fdderals, who,
not keeping faith with Diaz, turned the
machine guns on the troops below.

Diaz fatally succeeded in capturing the 1

mounted police then went over to his

into the arsenal grounds shouting for
Diaz.
Within the palace there were few vie -

in the fighting on the Peninsula. The
battle on Saturday was apparently see
vere. Very few details have been re-
ceived, but the vagueness of the offi-
cial references at Constantinople tends
to support the Bulgarian claim of a Vic-
tory. No fighting later than Friday is
reported from the Tehataidja, lines, and
the action of the allies there confirms
the belief that they do not propose to
attack the Turks at that point, It is
considered itt Jaw quarters that their
plan is to form their front on it line
