In Barcelona, on October 8, another leading man among the Spanish Protestants, another leading man among the Spanish Protestants, Manuel Matamoros, was arrested, and more information on the Protestant associations fell … into the hands of the police. Matamoros was sent, toward the close of December, to Granada, where he is to be tried, together with Alhama and others. Both the prisoners astonished the judge by frankly acknowledging that they no longer believed in the doctrines of the Roman Catholic Church, but only in the word of God. Matamoros says that the work in Barcelona has not suffered in the slightest degree; that in Andalusia (of which Seville is the capital) they have received a fearful blow; but time will obliterate their panic, and all go on as before.
