Riots and Barricades at Barcelona
Popular Disaffection Battle
Between Troops and
Insurgents.
By the Anglo-American Cable.
' London, Sept. 27. The news reports to bund
in this city from Spain to-day are of an exciting,
even alarming character. Popular disaffection
and disloyalty to the existing Government pre
vail very generally throughout the nation, and
both have again been expressed in the shape of
an armed counter revolution.
There w as an insurrectionary demonstration
made by the volunteer troops in Barcelona on
Saturday night. It was occasioned by the re
ceipt of the Government order commanding the
volunteers to disarm, and an attempt on the part
of the local authorities to enforce it. The fact,
that the volunteers of Tarragona who had re
fused to disarm previously were suffering impri
sonment for the offense was made a cause for an
additional excitement.
In a short time Ave barricades, one built by
the public cartmcn, were thrown up. The cart
men's barricade was assaulted by the regular
troops and carried by a bayonet charge, after a
very desperate resistance on the part of its de
fenders and a heavy loss of life.
During the engagement the insurgents had
twenty-four men killed, a largo number
wounded, and seventy of their more active
brethren made prisoners. The troops had two
commissioned olllcers killed and several soldiers
wounded. Order was subsequently restored. A
. radical republican democratic demonstration is
announced to be made in Madrid during Wed
nesday, the 20th hist. More trouble is antici
pated on the occasion.
Farther Particulars of llie Flelit at Barcelona.
By the Franco-American Cable.
Barcelona, Sept. 27. The volunteers in
Tarragona assumed a radical republican attitudo
when ordered to disarm by the Government au
thorities. Several battailous of the volunteers
Jn Barcelona also refused to lay down their arms.
They erected barricades in the streets. General
Pierrad, a revolutionist, having been arrested by
the troops, was taken to Tarragona.
At 10 o'clock on Saturday night the govern
ment troops assailed the barricades and charged
their defenders with the bayonet. They defeated
the Insurgents. Orders was restored about 2
o'clock yesterday morning. . Many persons were
killed and wounded, both insurgents and troops
of the line.
The TurrrFs:yptlan Troubles The CJrand
Vizii-r Ajininm ilie Viceroy.
Constantinople, Sept. 27. The semi-ofDcial
journal, Turquii, of this city, publishes in its
Issue of Saturday a violent article against the
Viceroy of Egypt for his action in resisting the
terms of arrangement with the Sultan embraced
in the second lctttf transmitted to his Highness
by the Turkish government through the Vizier,
and also for his proposal to refer the whole sub
ject matter in dispute between his Imperial
Majesty and himself to the arbitrament of the
European grot i o vers.
The Grand Vi.ier's newspaper organ objects,
in the name of the Sultan, to the propositions of
the Viceroy, and Insists on the complete necept
, ance of the second letter by the latter.
The Turquie concludes this editorial attack by
lecommending the Porte Government to at once
dismiss Ismail Pacha and appoint Mustapha
Tazyl Pacha Viceroy of Egypt.

The Spanish mosquito boats again. They
have been buzzing about the ears of Secretary
Fish, stinging the tender skin of wily diplomats,
touching the gentle susceptibilities of Mr. Sum
ner, and have been worse than the locusts of
Kgypt a pest generally. Let all hands go down
to the foot of Thirteenth street, North river, and
they will there behold this troublesome swarm
yclept the Mosquito Fleet. Within three months'
time everything that can be seen at the Delama
ter Works has been accomplished towards
pushing those singular specimens of
marine architecture to successful comple
tion. Over five hundred men are now
employed on the vessels, and the whole scene in
their vicinity is one of activity and animation.
It is something, it is true, to be proud of in the
" annals of American shipbuilding that a foreign
government should seek our shores as a filling
quarter wherein to construct, arm and enulp a
flotilla of the magnitude of thirty craft. Vet the
. question occurs, did not Spain make this con
tract with an American constructor with that
Bubtle diplomacy that has long distinguished her
foreign relations? Did she not. believing that
these gunboats were to be used in American
waters, and that their building and even their
departure from this port would not be impeded
by the administration, take fresh confidence in
ordering thirty insignificant, and in a naval
View, very ordinary vessels? . It must seem so to
ever reilectlug mind. In the first place take a
Bcrvfv of the gunboats, their dimensions, ca
paci iei for off use and defense, and the probable
BO.vico for which they are destined.
TUB GUNBOATS.
Now lving at the foot of Thirteenth 6treet, on
the north side of the pier, are fifteen of these
marine insects, with their bows turned towards
all points of the compass. Painted a lavender
color, with a full length fore and aft of 105 feet,
and of a tonnage less than 200 burden, which is
' the capacity of a small-sized canal boat, they
present the appearance of a very pretty squad
ron, when even compared with the hermaphro
dite double-cnders that made so conspicuous a
failure in the late war. The very fact .that they
Lave been constructed in so short a time, inde-
4 pendent of their peculiar model and their strik
ing littleness, furnishes enough assurance that
they can never be other than mean guerillas In
a general naval combat, and of course they are
liable to be met In this manner. The boats are
not named, but are numbered from one to
fifteen consecutively.
An eYfti-nlnatlon of any one of them reveals
' the characteristics of all, for they are sister ves
6els. With a moderate breadth of beam in pro
tr th lfinirth. and a very shallow depth
of hold, the lines of the hull are not of course
marked by any degree of beauty, nor do they
show that any . particular etylo of model has
been adopted. The bows have little Inclination,
iip.tnfr almost TJerrendieuiar.

nary funnel, stayed to the same angle as the
spars. The vessels, when complete, will carry
only fore and main sails (fore and aft sails), with
two gaff-topsails and a jib.
The armament is to consist of a 100-poundcr
Parrott rilio, mounted as a pivot gun forward.
The white and live oak of which the craft are
built will vibrate somewhat under the recoil of
those monsters.
THE TKf AI TUIP OF NO. 1 ON 8ATUROAT.
Gunboat No. 1 started yesterday afternoon on
her trial trip up the North river. She ascended
the Hudson as far as West Point, her engines
working admirably, and her success for the pur
poses for which she was designed being com
plete. The revenue cutter stationed opposite
the Delamater Works was on the scent to detect
any seaward tendency of the scow, and It is
needless to say without success. She started
out, making from ten to twelve knots an hour
without a full pressure. This trip established
the value of the initial boat, whatever that may
be, though, for the designs aimed, everything
sought has been accomplished.
THE VNITED STATES MARSHAL'S POSITION.
Marshal Barlow is tranquil. A change has
"come o'er the spirit of his dreams." He no
lonu'cr looks pale and dejected over the relative
Interests of Spaiu and Cuba. Some three weeks
ago a dark-eyed patriot of the laud of Dons made
him a communication; in which, representing
his agency with the Spanish Minister, he said
that no attempt on the part of the owucrs would
be made to clandestinely remove tuo vessels
from the harbor. This gentleman then repaired
to Washington, and, it is supposed, has ,sinco
been in correspondence with Secretary Fish.
There is certainly no evidence abroad that the
Spanish tiovcrnment desires tno gunboats to
leave, in defiance of the Cabinet at Washington.
1 he impression prevails that no power on the
part of the anthoritics can detain the boats, and
there is no reason for doubting its good sense
when it is considered that our relations with
Spain are friendly, that Cuba is not a bellige
rent, and no other friendly point is threatened
with their attack. It is probable, then, that each
of these funny craft will sail upon their comple
tion, which will bo inside of a month. No law
can enjoin them.
For whatever service they are destined, it can
hardly be transatlantic, for a good breeze aud a
high sea would bury tlieni in Davy Jones' locker.
A more puerile fleet as a weapon of offense wuS
never within the Indignity of any nation to pro
ject, nor the lot of any builder to construct.
But fifteen more arc to be added to the swarm,
and their construction is rapidly going forward
at Mystic, Conn. Captain Harmony, United
States Navy, represents the Navy Department,
and is in charge of the flotilla at the Delamater
Works. JVeio York Uvrald of yesterday.

Brokers at their Counting-houses Yes
terdayThe Gold .Exchange Bank
Conferences at the Erie
Railway Office Last
Evening.
From the X. Y. World of thi morning.
Wall street was visited yesterday by a largo
number of workinunieu, who expected to see
something extraordinary, and probably were
anxious to gather some relic from the field so
hotly contested by tho "bulls" and "bears" on
Friday last. But thev all left the street dis
gusted with the (iold Room, which they could
not find, and the Stock Exchange, which they
could not enter. An lrisii bricklayer, witn the
dust-embrowned face usual to men of his
business, stood wonderingly belore tho door
of Smith. Gould it Martin, and questioned
a sturdy policemen, "Is it here, agra, that
Mr. Fisk got a bating?" On being in
formed it was, he carefully examined the
doorstep, and seeing no sign of blood or other
indicator of a deadly struggle, turned away
with an insouciant manner, saying, "Be mo
fa'th, and he wasn't much of a man at all, who
iver he was." The principal theme was what
they woidd do with the gold if they had it. Like
Lover's "Four-leaved Shamrock," the wish gene
rally was of a good nature, find showed the
kindly hearts of the wishers. Still the work
men lingered round Wall, New, and Brood
streets; it was a sort of El Dorado to them, and
it Is very likely that many let their dinner bo
sacrificed to their curiosity.
Clearing Away the Wreck.
One by one brokers lounged down the street,
many never taking their eyes off the ground.
One man, as he passed the Stock Exchange,
happened to look up. but on seeing the building
frew pale and shuddered. lie lost 4)10,000 in
riday's crash, his checks were dishonored by
the banks, his margins forfeited, aud it may bo
many a year before he is on his legs again.
tuners urop aowu me street, respienueni in tueir
Sunday suits, a whole-souled smile beaming over
their countenances and a well-tilled cigar caso
in each of their pockets. How happy the fellows
look I What a contrast to their less fortunate
brethren! As the day rolls on they are joined by
others, and every now ana tneu one will dive
into the recesses of an ofllee to find out some
thing about tho state of affairs.
Tney come out in many cases as wise as tney
went in, and as each joins his comrade ho Is
saluted with "Well! what's tho news?'
"Nothing in there is tho answer; and away
they go up Exchange place to tho Gold Ex
change Bank. Tho most daring of tho party
knocks at tho office door. Jt is opened for
about ft half-foot by the janitor, who asks,
"What's wanted." "Mr. Benedict can't see
him, clr." and the door Is slammed to. The
same thing is tno case an over tno street. In
every principal firm clerks are rapidly at work,
and udmlsslon is rigidly refused to their olllees.
The Broker' Olllees.
All the firms who havo taken a prominent
stand as operators had their employes at work
yesterday. William Heath iV; Co. and Smith,
Gould iX, Martin's, offices were filled with clerks
during the day ond night. The whole Interest
of the affair centred on tho operations of the
cleariug staff at the Gold Exchange Bank, which
were hard at work ail Saturday night, yesterday,
and last night clearing the balances of the
brokers.
ftomelhlng about llie Brokers.
The principal topic among outsiders is who
are tho principal brokers mixed up In the strug
gle, aud where out tney come trouir lue prin
cipal person is Mr. William Woodward, lie
has not been on the street more than nlno years,
and, in appearance, looks to bo about forty-five
or forty-seven years old. Mr. Woodward is re
ported to be worth $2,000,000. It is asserted
that he will come through all right. A. Speyers,
the gentleman who. suffered so much excitement
on Friday last, is a'-well-known broker, and has
been given the credit of being one of the smart
est of the smart. He will weather the storm
sufcly
General Belden, principal member of Belden &
Co., is a man whose experience of brokerdom is
perhaps unequalled in the New York market.
As to his absence from the city, it is highly Im
probable, and the principal bankers declare
their firm belief in his honesty.
James Fisk. Jr.. and Jay Gould, the two lead
ing spirits of the fray, are too well known to
need any description. Mr. Gould is a partner in
the house of Smith, Gould te Martin, which was
the leading firm in the movement. II. N. Smith
is a man of life-long experience In money mat
ters. Formerly owner of a Buffalo gold ex
change, he removed to New York and entered
the firm. Martin, the junior partner, is known
on the street as "Tho Spider," and has been born
and bred a broker.
William Heath, the principal member of
Heath & Co., entered Wall street some years
ago, and by persevering Industry made a for
tune. Ho is known as the American deer, from
tho fact that his rate of progression uovor ex
ceeds two miles mi hour.
These arc the principal men conucctcd with
tho panic.
The (iold Hank During the l)ny.
Our reporter obtained admission during the
day to the (iold Exchange Bank. Mr. Benedict,
the President of the Bank, and a 6talf of thirty
clerks were busily engaged drawing out clear
ances. The desks of the ollico wero coverod
with ponderous ledgers and exchange sales
books, piles of pass-books were heaped on the
floor, and the clerks, coats off and shirts turned
up, were handling their pen at a lively rate.
Every now and then the President dropped
around to see how they were getting on, aud a
smile of satisfaction appeared on his face ai ho
saw balance al ter balance made out and checked.
Nfvlit o'er the .Scene.
Wall street presented a gloomy aspect list
night; the heavy rain Hooded the pathways and
scattered the sight-seers. The policemen,
wrapped in their waterproof coats, paraded up
and down in silence: tho few watchmen and pri
vate detectives clustered together in domvays
chatting and smoking. Nothing broke tho mo
notony of the silence but the footfall of some
passer-by plashing through the wet and mud.
Lights in some ollices showed that work was
being done.
William Ilenth tV (,'ompnny.
In this otllce a large number of clerks wero
gathered together, aud in the private room of
the firm a supper was spread for their especial
comfort. The principal clerk, in answer to a
question, said: "Tho general belief Is that
Smith, Gould iVi Martin will have to accept the
gold and we will come out all right." Tho
utmost anxiety was displayed as to tho action of
the Gold Exchange Bank, and it is upon their
report that tho whole interest of the affair
hinges. It is stated by Mr. Heath, and believed
in money circles, that tho firm in any caso will
redeem their liabilities and preserve "their com
mercial integrity.
Pi-cpai-hia Tor the Morn.
In the office of Smith, Gould 5c Martin the
state of affairs was kept very quiet. Messrs.
Smith, Martin and Gould had been in their
office up to 5 "30 o'clock, when they left in a
carriage. Mr. -Martin, it is said, went to his
home in Brooklyn, but where the three wero
after B o'clock was entirely unknown by tho
general public. Our reporter, however, ascer
tained that three gentlemen were closeted with
Mr. Fisk in his private office In Twenty-third
street, from 7 o'clock to a late hour
last night. That this conference re
lated to the late struggle is made
apparent by the fact that a telegraphic operator
remained in the Wall street ollicc all night re
ceiving telegrams for the (iold Exchange Bank
from the conclave. The decision arrived at by
this meeting could not with certainty be ascer
tained, but it is alleged by the parties interested
that Smith, Gould &, Martin will, under tho ad
vice and support of Mr. Fisk, accept the gold
and clear away all difficulty. The very fact of
such a conference being held and telegraphic
despatches being constantly sent to the Gold
Bank, is deemed by the brokers a strong con
firmation of the above statement.
The Mold Bank at Night.
In the night time rigid guard was kept by tho
officers connected with the bank, and no person
except those having the entree could obtain ad
mission. The hall of the building was filled with
private watchmen and detectives. Mr. Benedict's
carriage waited outside, and Inside all was work.
The World reporter, on visiting the premises
about 8 o'clock, found Mr. Benedict engagod in
overseeiug the clerks. Every now aud then a
clerk woultl call Messrs ana uompany,
and another would reply, "Fifteen hundred
certified," as tho caso might bo. An immense
amount of work was got through Saturday night
and yesterday.
The immense nature of tho transactions in
volved, aud the peculiar difficulties arising from
mixed stocks and gold accounts, with the tre
mendous sum under investigation, five huudred
million dollars, all combined to render the task
a dillicnlt and tedious one. Tho clerks, however,
worked like men; they stripped to their work at
the approach of night time, and went through a
pile of busiuess. How they did sling ledgers
around ! The sweat rolled down their foreheads
aud on their checks. They did not waste much
time brushing it otf . Balance after balance was
cleared and drawn up. Account after account
was straightened, and at 9 o'clock the clerks re
tired for a rest.
They resumed work shortly after. Mr. Bene
dict, the President, said that he expected to
have all the clearances made by to-day. In an
swer to a question, he said that Smith", Gould &
Martin would probably come out all right; the
clearances then made had resultod favorably.
He trusted that nil would prove the same. In
any case the Gold Exchange Bank was safe from
everything.
ftlidiiilit in the (iold Bank.
Still tho work goes on, and clearance after
clearance is made. The caudles, stuck into bot
tles in the clearing-room, grow dimmer and
dimmer; their light grows loss; yet the clerks
call their rolls and check their accounts as regu
lar as cioeK-worK. iney nave had a busy time:
since Friday at 1 o'clock they have labored with
out intermission. JNow a total is called, and a
tall man marks off a balance with his red pencil,
calling out "ull right." Another firm saved from
bankruptcy. In the Beard-room, close by, there
are sitting tho committee appointed by the Gold
Board to investigate the ttansactious.

In a conversation between Mr. Benedict, the
bank President, and the representative of the
noria, uie ioiiowing remarks were made:

Smith, Martin iV; Gould will come out ?

The Klin on the Tenth National Bunk
was a great tontc of eonversatlon among those
brokers, bankers, find cicrks who wero at their
work yesterday. It was generally regarded as
the result of a conspiracy on tho part of two or
three rival banking Institutions, where tho certi

Social Despatch to The Evening Telegraph.
Washington, 8ept. 27 The contest for the
Virginia Scnatorshlp has been transferred, In
some degree, from Richmond to this city. Some
days ago a committee, said to be self-appointed,
consisting of Judge Rives and two other gentle
men, arrived hero for the purpose of heading off
icncral Williams, Mrs. Senator Douglas' hus
band, who is a candidate. As tho result of their
labors, they have published tho following:
Washington. Sept. S5. It Is perhaps due to
the public to correct a remark that has been at
tributed to the President, indicating General
Williams as his choice for Senator from Vir
ginia. vc nave just nan a conversation wan
the President on this point, and beg leave to
report so much of it as is material. The Pre
sident said a friend of General Williams told
him that the General was receiving many letters
from Virginia soliciting him to be a candidate
for the Senate That ho would not be a candi
date without he knew it would be favorably re
ceived, or not objected to by him. Tho Presi
dent replied there could be no objection to It,
and that ho would be glad to see as good a man
as General Williams selected; but it is not true
that he declared General Williams to be his
choice.
On the contrary, he was aware that several
gentlemen wero named for this ofllco in whom
he had perfect confidence, aud there might be
others, unknown to him, having the same titlo
to his confidence, ana wuue ieeiing it to no im
proper for him to express any choice at all, he
would certainly not have said so to the prejudice
of any of his friends. Among these wero Gene
ral Wickham and others, also Dr. Sharp, whom
ho had long known, and whose loyalty was per
spicuously displayed in the hostilo coinmuulty
in which he lived" at the outbreak of tho hostili
ties. He spoke in the highest terms of his
honesty and sincerity, and thought him supe

The Gold Panic In New York.
A silly report has been circulated that the Pre
sident and Secretary Boutwell differed ou Fri
day in relation to the expediency of selling gold
on that day to relieve the business men of New
York. There is the best authority for denying tho
whole story, and stating that there was the
most perfect concurrence of views. Of tho
same unfounded character is the story that the sale
was ordered at the solicitation of a member of
a well-known banking-firm, who it was alleged
made a personal appeal to the President.

SfAIN.
The Cuban QncMtion In Madrid and Pari.
Our files from Europe by the steamship Union
supply tho following English details of the
Cuban question excitement as prevailing in
Madrid and Paris on the 11th instant.
Madrid (Sept. 10) cor. London Standard.
In addition to the scenes of Tuesday night,
Madrid has been turned upside down by tho re
port that the United States Government was
going to recognize the Cuban rebels as bellige
rents. I cau giVto you no idea of tho intensity
of excitement this has caused. The Spanish
Government have long been following a myste
rious policy respecting Cuban intelligence. No
thing appears in the papers, ollicial as well as
unofficial, but tho most cheery news. Not a
word of the horrible cruelties and barbarities
carried on in Cuba, and not a word of the for
midable proportions tho insurrection has as
sumed. One of the opposition papers,
the Epoca Isabellino, on Sunday night
went so far as to publish some Cuban
news of doleful import, received by
it direct from persons of great veracity in the
island. It intimated the probability of losing it
if prompt exertions on a grand scale were not
made, and it called ou the government to lose
not an Instant in despatching tho entire army
and navy. The sensation this created was in
tense, the people wakiug up for the first time,
thanks to the secretive policy of the government,
to the possibility, nay extreme probability, of the
island succeeding in severing its connection with
Spain. On the top of all this the excitement
was increased by tho next evening's Epooa,
which contained tho following startling an
nouncement:
News of high gravity has come to afflict our
hearts as Bpaulards. It is said that the representa
tive of the United States, General Sickles, whsse
presence has been the sad omen (trite aiuero) for
the interests of our conntry, lias passed, iu compli
ance with the orders of ills Government, a note to
that of Spain, in which lie announces that tlie state
of publiu opinion in the North American republie
will probably oblige them to recognize the Cuban
Rebels us belligerents, (something more says the
ocspatcn, or wnicn we ougnc not to make mention,
lor iL cioes noi couie to us wun uie same certainty
as me ioreguiug. j ne juumters, wno are
In Madrid, have not as vet taken anv
action that we learn of, except communicating
the despatch to Seuores Prim aud
Sllvela, who are both In Victiy. When we wrote
about cuna yesterday, iieruny lmpressioned, our
heart said to us we might even expect greater evils!
Cuba is in danger! To this cry it is not with dismay
we ought to answer, hut with the spirited enthusi
asm of our better times ! Cuna is in danger! To
save this beautiful portion of the Spanish nation,
the entile army ought to lie translated to those shores
to present a Kullaut display of the vitality of our
country. If there be Carllsts, or Isabellinos. er re
publicans, or any other parties, who cherish the Idea
ef combating the present situation by force,
curses upon them if they do not, at this
moment, when it is indispensable we should
unite all our strength, cease their rancors
to leave the Government free to save Cubv The
revolution has conceded the right of publiu meetlug.
What more worthy occasion could we have to exer
cise it than In moments like these, so as to demon
strate to that great republic that Spain has but one
will, when the saving of the integrity of her territory
is concerned. Let the men of all parties unite and
have meetings In every city, town, and village. Tho
loss of Cuba will be the dishonor of the revolution.
All the papers copied this, and Madrid at this
moment is in a blaze of patriotism, the general
desire being to put forth the entire strength of
the nation to reconquer Cuba. It is said that
20,000 men are to go off within the noxt ten
days; 8000 of these sail next week. ,
farU Sept. 12 Evening) Cor. London Time.
A good deal of attention Is excited here by the
note sent by tho United States Government to
Madrid respecting Cuba. Tho ratrui says that
Spain is going to send iron-clads to the West
Indies, and is chuckling at the prospect of a
war between the Spaniards aud the Yankees.
Our transatlantic cousins have grown all of a
sudden such . amazing favorites with us we
have grown so foud or them all at once that I
really don't know whether I dare venture to
point out that their treatment of Spain exceeds
even the customary Yankee disregard of com
mon honesty and common decency. - Spain
being in a difficulty, the United States choose
this moment to try and wrest Cuba from her.
This is a requital for the conduct of Spain in
closing her ports against the Confederate
cruisers. The old French proverb was right
after all, though a proverb ."Oi'jnet villain, il
vou8 poindra.
