St. Jean de Luz, Oct. 1.

The insurgents, have turned the tables on the men who besieged the Alcazar, or a portion of the besieging force; in any event. Fifty Government troops have taken refuge in the Toledo Seminary, and it is believed there is a number of women and children with them.

So far they have held out for four days, refusing to surrender, and can fire on all who approach the build- ing.

The insurgents are unwilling to bombard the seminary for fear of harming the non-combatants.- Reuter Special.
