MGLAND'S SCRAPE.
The Portuguese are Worked
mp ba Fever Heat Over Eng
lands Ultimatum.
An Edict That English Resi-
dents Must Become Citi-
zens or Be Expelled.

LESSON, Specialize Seculo published
to-day an unsigned manifesto headed .'The
Directory of the Portuguese Republicans
to the Nation" It denounces vociferously
the English altimatum, and advocates the
republican federation of the Latin nations,
and the adhesion of Portugal to such fed
Grafton. 1t declares that the movement for
. federation of Latin republics is steadily
anaking great progress, and that the force
of that movement is seen and felt in the
revolution in Brazil. The manifesto does
not advocate revolution in Portugal at
the present moment, and is moderate in
tone throughout, except as to the denuncia-
ton of Englands action. All the papers,
Republican as we'll as others, advise pru-
dence and moderation in the present crisis.
The extravagancies of the school boys in
the street demonstration seemed to have
opened the eyes Of the men of the country
to the tollies and danger of that way of
treating international difficulties. The
ec4isity and earnestness of the new premier,
Senior Pimental. in the pursuit of the
policy of the ministry is winning many ad-
hcrcnts from the majority, and
FAST DIsARMING THE REPUBLICANS
met to the demands of England pretext
for agitation if not actual revolution. Sem
aaor Pimental has summoned to Lisbon
the Portuguese ministers to Berlin,
Vienna and Rome in order that he may
verbally instruct them regarding the desire
of the government that they will persist
emily insist that the powers shall interfere
in the dispute with England in behalf OF
Portugal, whose rights have been wantonly
trampled upon. The announcement OF
this action has greatly conduced to the
dow Of a tide of popular confidence in the
ministry, and it is believed that the efforts
of the representatives thus instructed will
result in a considerable mitigation of the
severity of England's ultimatum to the end
szhat mutually satisfactory understanding
anay be arrived at. The English residents
of this city who have been victims of the
public animoslty occasioned by the attitude
of England toward Portugal propose to ap-
point deputation to wait on Lord Sails
bury to urge that Great Britain adopt a
more conciliatory policy. The feeling
toward England is very bitter. Many En-
giish employees of Portuguese houses have
been discharged.
4Obs of workmen and sailors parade the
streets denouncing England. There are
many hundreds of adhesions to the COM
:aacrcial plan of campaign received from
owners OF machine building works. Steam
ship companies have transferred their con-
tracts for coal and iron to Belgium. Eng
fishmen employed by the government are
given the alternative of dismissal or natu-
I2lixation. English flags have been bought
and publicly burned in several towns.
ENGLAND DENOUNCED.
PARIS, Special.-There was held here to-
day meeting of three hundred Portuguese
sresiding in this city Devega, former
\ Portuguese deputy, presided. He violently
attacked Great Britain and besought his
s,omIatriots to remember the Swiss strug-
brave and united people is not always
crushed by heavy battalions. He con-
citided, amid a storm of cheers, by thank
? ing the French press for its sympathy and
support. Senior Gorilla the Spanish Re
publican, also spoke He said one needed
only to be an honorable man to condemn
the piracy of Great Britain. The meeting
adopted resolution denouncing British
action. The Figaro says that Portugal has
complained to Prince Bismarck that Great
Britain has violated the Berlin treaty. She
therefore asks that a conference be con-
,geked to discuss African affairs.
SPOILED A STRONG CASE.
LONDON. Special.-The Portuguese CORE
spondence was published yesterday in a
-'islue book" The News, commenting upon
she dispatches, says they confirm the opin-
ion that the marquis OF Salisbury has
spoiled a very strong case by undue harsh
ness His dispatches insult Senior Comes
by Implying disbelief IN Comes word. 1t
is doubtful whether any further negotia-
lions will be possible between the govern
uncnts for long time.
A TRANQUILIzING EFFECT.
The rumor that British fleet was in the
Tagus has had atranquilizing effect upon the
papers. The Journal of Commerce, popu-
Gar organ, entreats the people not to pro-
song unjustifably the manifestations which
involve breaches Of the peace and
passibly fresh national humiliation.
1t is stated that leading ship
owner who is in municipal authority
begged Mr.. Petre's mediation to prevent the
Ncet entering the Tagus, and Mr.. Petre init
mated that if such thing happened it
would be entirely the fault of the inhabit-
;ants. A committee OF ladies in society have
formed the resolution to boycott Mr.. Petre's
wife. The evening papers generally advise
prudence on the part of the people.
