STUDENTS' REVOLT.

OUTBREAK IN MADRID. (81KTU» CBXBS - ASBOCUUO*—B* SIiXOTBIO . TXXJSOBAPK—COFTBIaHT.) MADRID, March 2ff. The deadliness of a minor revolution incited by medical students can be gauged from the fact that 4000 shots were if red/but only one student land one civil, guard were killed, and Captain Canas, a police sergeant,, and 13 students wounded., The students, hoisting posters and red flags, seized the streets near the University, stoned ' the trams, and stopped the traffic. Amid cheers from workmen they drove off the police. .The student met his 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 the wounded to the operating theatre, whence tho doctors attending them, disturbed by the police rifle fire, fled frenziedly to the streets. , Clearing a way by firing revolvers, thre? squadrons' of Civil Guards* charging through volleys of bricks and slates, restored order. Thoy arrested a/ film operator who was enthusiastically recording the scenes, and confiscated the film.
