The Revolt la Entre Itlos PMalla of the A snBslnntlon of Urquiza Bravery ejf Ills PaoRhtera la Ills Defense. that the murder of General Urquiza had pro duced profound alarm in Bucnas Ayres, and there was a general feeling of uneasiness among both natives and foreigners on account of the revolt in Entre Rios, under the leadership of General Lopez Jordan, me .National Govern ment bad chartered three steamers to accom pany the Argentine war steamer Pa von. and transport all available troops from Buenos Ayres to the scene of the revolt. A despatch was sent to Rosario ordering the trrops coming down from Paraguay to cross into Entre Bios. General Mitre is in command. According to the latest reports Benor Sagastume, the Acting Governor of Jntre kios, was Desiegea in me town ot uon ceDcion del Uruiruav. Details of the death of General Urquiza had been received. On the evening of April 11. at about 7 o'clock, he was sitting in the 1 'patio'' of his palace at San Jose reading, when he was notified that some armed men were surrounding the bouse. He at once ordered that the guard should be called out, but the guard disobeyed orders and refused to move. General Urquiza at once took alarm and shut nlmself up in his library. Suddenly a band of armed men pene trated the premises, broke into the house, burst open the door cf the room in which the General was concealed, and one of the men placing a blunderbuss at the very mouth of the General, fired; the ball took effect, and the General fell. Instantly the whole of the house- bold rushed to tne room, and tne General s daughter Lola, on perceiving her father mur dered and weltering in his blood, flung herself UDon the melees body ot ner murdered parent. embracing the corpse and calling upon the aseaseins as they had killed her father to kill her also, With Satanic cowardice, the assassins fired on the group, but, strange to say, not a ball struck the heroic Ctrl, all the balls entering the lifeless body of her father. Meantime, another daughter of the General rushed to the scene. and with ber own hand shot down one of the assassins and wounded another. General Lopez Jordan, who is son-in-law of General Urquiza, surrounded his palace with four hundred men. The murderers of General Urquiza fled from the palace, crossed the Uraguay, and are now in the Banaa oriental. TUE ST. LOUIS DEFAULTER. The Indictment by the Grnntt Jurv The Ki. Treasurer Isivea Ilianaell Up and Uoea lo Jull. The 8t. Louis Democrat of Friday last says: On Wednesday the Grand Jury returned various indictments into court, among them four niraiDBt Adolph IS. Uroeeer and one against M. 12. Susisky, late City Treasurer. Kroeger promptly gave bail in the suia of 20,000, and was not taken into custody. Susisky went into the Treasurer's office and spent some time in looking over the walls, on which, in former days, were hung elegant pic tures of beautiful women. He said he came for the purpose of ''giving himself up," but as no one auinomea to arrest aim came near, ne re turned home. Yesterday he went into the office of the Clerk of the Criminal Court and surrendered himself to the Marshal, and was conducted to jail. The amount of his bond was not stated, and it is presumed that he does not intend to give bail at present. He looked serene, and no doubt feels confident oi being acquitted. The following is a copy of TUX IHMCTMBNT. St. Louis Criminal Court, May term, 1870. The grand jurors or the State of Missouri, upon their oatb present, that Marie Ernest Suslsky, on the 8th day of April, 1870, at St Louis, then and there being an officer of the city of St Louis, to wit, : Treasurer of the said city of fit.

The third connt alleges the embezzlement of a similar sum on the same dsy. The fourth count charges the embezzlement of a similar amount on the same day. The fifth count is the tame. The total amount said to have been embezzled is flto.ooo. The Greek BrlawMla' Code. It has recently become known that the fol lowing singular regulations form the code of the Greek brigands. It is a strange instance of law by men who repudiate all civil law: I. Every man belonging to a band found guilty of treason shall have his bands cut off as exem plary punishment. IL In case of a repetition of the offense, he wul be shot and bis body exposed. III. Wealthy prisoners will be released only by paying ransom, and swearing not to give any Information to the authorities. IV. Prisoners who are not ransomed will be put to death. V. When the named ransom is not paid la Jull, an ear is to be cut from off the prisoner as the first intimation of the respite accorded before pu'ting mm to death. VI. Prisoners ransomed must be rensomed If they fall again into the hands of the band. VII. All men belonging to the armed forces will be immediately shot. V 111. The bearer of ransoms are to be treated w'th tbe greatest respect, and indemnified Jo" the cost of return. IX. During some days between the payment CI tne ransom and tne liberation of the prisoner, he is to be entertaided at the cost of the band. with the view of studying his character. If he wears a beard, It is to be cut off before bis re lease. , X. Any member who denounces the associa tion to the Government will be shot. XI. No one can be received as a member of the baud unless he has previously committed a criminal act. XII. In case a captive escapes his keeper will i le'd resDonsible. and expelled from the band. XIII.

Execution at the Brother Aanere Waaderlnl Feat f Endurance Uetalla sr the Execn. tlen. Havaka. May 17 On Saturday last Spanish Havana was gratified with the execution by the garrote ot two young men oi gooa Dirtn, supe rior education, and gentle manners, for the crime of resisting Spanish domination in this island and fighting for what the Amerlcaas deem tbe inalienable right of self-government. They died witn perfect calmness and serenity, winning reluctant admiration from their ene mies and many an expression of sympathy from others. Caspar and Diego Aguero, respectively twenty-six and twenty-two years of age, were born in the city of Puerto Principe, sons of Don Constantino and Donna Graclana Aguero, both belonging to the old blue-blood families of Camaguey. The oldest was educated in Paris, tbe other In New York, in which latter place both had resided for a considerable time. They were both highly accomplished adepts In all physical exercises, speaking many languages and acquainted with the literature of all. The brothers were tried by court-martial, and sentenced to die by the garrote. Even the Spaniards, who seldom have a tear for their ene mies, were affected by their unassuming yet noble bearing, ana it is statea mat tne apanisn officer who defended them at one stage of the proceedings broke into an uncontrollable fit of weeping. After the sentence was read to them tbey turned and grasped each other's hands witn a cneenui srnue, ana spoite a iew words in English, not understood by those around them, but regarded as words of affection and encou ragement. They were at once placed in the cauiUa. when twa Jesuit priests were sent them. These they received wun genue courtesy, but declined to receive the consolations ef the Chnrch. professing themselves rationalists. The priests were fascinated by their manner and bearing, and afterwards were loud in their en comiums upon them, iney were subsequently taken to the Principe fortress, the hour of four Saturday evening being fixed for the execution. An immense crowd gathered, and it is esti mated that full seven thousand people were present. The scanold bad been built very high in order that the spectacle lor as such was it intended might be witnessed by all. Before being taken to execution the Irons were removed from them that they might bid each other farewell. As the chains dropped from them they embraced each other, the elder auletly remarking in irencn, "Mourons trait' quilles et an$ parler" Let us die tranquilly and without speaking. The youngest issued from the fortress first, and was marched on foot to the fatal spot, a distance of near half a mile. ile walked quietly. emoKing tbe Cuban's in evitable cigarette, wmcn ne tnrew irom mm at the foot of the scaffold, Remarking the dis long; I shall be tired before I roach there." Un arriving ne, oi nis own motion, seated himself in the chair, and observing that it was too high rose again that It might be adjusted. Lie placed nis neaa in tne conar, when the priest checked the executioner for a moment, again requesting him to confess. His only re sponse was "Acaba prOnto," finish quickly! The huge negro turned the fatal orank, a spasmodic thrusting forward of the lower part of tbe body followed, and a bero sat there dead. The corpse was taKen irom tne cnair and laid upon tbe platform, coverea uv a piece oi canvas. When the elder brother, who meanwhile had been marching from the iortress, mounted the scaffold, he gazed at his dead brother lying there, and, looking arouna upon tne people, seemed about to spean, wnen tne arums began beating. An amused smile stole over his Fea tures, lie seatea nimseu in tne cnair, aeciinea tbe offer of the priest, and in an instant had gone to join the other, while loud shouts of 44 Viva Espana " broke from the volunteers in attendance and the populace. In personal appearance tne brothers Aguero were unusually prepossessing. Of the two the younger was the taller. They had dark eyes and nair, liKe tneir race, ana in tneir aeatn manifested a stoicism worthy of the Indian blood which doubtless flowed in their veins. The fact that they were brought here to suffer an Ignominious death by the garrote Instead of being snot nas caused mucn speculation ana no small share of Indignation. Even the Spanish officers say, "We all thlnu it was wrong to gar rote them. The Government state that It was owing to their being part of the filibustering party of Goi- couria. The truth doubtless is that they were sent here that their death might afford gratification to the uneasy spirits among the volunteers and to create the impression that the insurrection is at an end. Be this as it may, the indignation among foreigners and neutrals here is beyond description, and curses loud and deep are uttered by many who have been wont to hope for an early triupn oi tne epamsii cause.

Since the 18th. of March a serious revolution has taken place.

In fact, the aspect of poli tical anairs appeared mucn more serious man had been supposed by those qualified to be well Informed upon the subject. He mentions a strong evidence to that effect: that at the prin cipal theatre every box had been sold early in the day; at tne penormance an interesting musical entertainment not one box in ten was occupied, and in the parquette very few persons were present, in ariving to me landing wim several of the officers of his ship, their carriage was stopped by the police and a demand made of the driver as to who were the occupants of tbe carriage, immediately upon perceiving their uniforms, and satisfind that they were offi cers of the Lancaster, they were allowed to pro ceed, lie makes mention ot mis to show the political surveillance in Montevideo.
