BARCELONA, OCT. 7. GAPING HOLES IN THE WALLS OF GENERALIDAD PALACE, WHERE PRESIDENT COMPANYS FOUGHT VALIANTLY AGAINST THE OVERWHELMING GOVERNMENT FORCES, TESTIFY TO THE SEVERITY OF THE ARTILLERY BOMBARDMENT TO WHICH THE PALACE WAS SUBJECTED BEFORE THE REBELS SURRENDERED.
Even the streets of the city were torn up by the rebels to make barricades.
General Batet was in command of the attackers. Following the ultimatum sent yesterday, he opened fire. with his artillery. The rebels were known to be strongly entrenched but their numbers were not sufficient to give the attacking force any great difficulty. Shortly before the final assault, direct hita were regiatered on Governor Companys' palace-head- † quarters and the main balcontes) were completely.shot away.
During the height of the fight- ing, the rebels sent a desperate appeal to Sabadell for, reinforce- ments. They required 3,000 fight- ing men from the neighbouring town, they said, to hold out against! General Batet. The appeal was vain.
President Companys was un- wounded, and marched out of the palace between two files of soldiers, holding his head high.

St. Louis, Oct. 7. Detroit Tigers, champions of the American League, won their second successive game against the St. Louis Cardinals to-day, scoring three runs against one.
