Even the streete 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.

Shortly before the final assault; direct hits were registered on Governor Companys' palace-head- quarters and the main balconies were completely shot away.
