circular note to the powers on Sunday rela-
tive to the dispute with England. 1t al
ply of Senior Comes of Jan 10 to the note of
Lord Salisbury, but submitted her ultima

saland and the Shire district three weeks

Down with England" "Down with the
pirates"
At Coimbra, last evening, mob com
posed of students and others, marched

| A London View of the Matter.
| LONDON, Jan. l5-Sonor Pimental made
all possible haste to form a Portuguese,
ministry to succeed Senior Comes and hi
confreres and his efforts were accelerated
| by the monarchist fear of the worst of the
political consequences likely to arise from
the surrender of the Comes ministry to tn
demands of the English government. Tn
reckless temper of the people, as evinced b,
their resentment Of the governments actiol
In fatuous warfare upon the British con
sulate at Oporto, is also an element of ALARM
to the monarchical organization, in that l
exposes the state to reprisals for the acts o
irresponsible rioters and renews the tension
between Lisbon and London
| They Are All Portuguese.
There is a striking unanimity of agree
ment on the part of the representatives Q
the Monarch ist and Republican parties an
factions in Lisbon that nothing should stan
in the way of the immediate formation of
ministry to deal with the not YET satisfat
torily settled ques tions in southeast Africs
pending the consideration of which interns
matters are forgotten or held in abeyancs
For the moment, at least, the Monarchists
Republicans, Socialists and Anarchists alik
have sunk political, social and economi
questions deep beneath the waves of patriot
ism that now surge over the country, and a
are simply Portuguese.
The Editors Rail at England.
The continental press without exceptio
J condemn the course of England in the mat
ter and openly accuse the British govern
ment of having after the manner of FREE
booter wrested from a helpless power terri
tory her right to which she dared not sui
init to arbitration.
