(Received 1 p.m.) MADRID, March 20. The deadliness of a minor revolution incited by medical students can be gauged from the fact that 4000 shots were fired, one student and one civil guard being killed. Captain Canas. a police sergeant, and 13 student? were wounded. Students who hoisted posters and ml flags seized the streets near the university. They stoned the trams and stopped all traffic. Amid cheers frdm workmen they drove off the police. The student who was killed met hi? death at the hands of a policeman who fired twice into his prostrate body after knocking him down for brandishing a revolver. His comrades immediately hoisted a black flag and carried their wounded companions to an operating theatre. The doctors attending them were disturbed by police rifle fire, and fled in frenzied manner into the dealing the way by tiring their revolvers. Three squadrons of the Civil Guards by charging through volleys of brick' and slates, finally restored order. They, arrested a film operator, who was cntliu siastically recording the, scenes ar/ confiscated his film.
