LISBON, Jan. 15.--The government sent a
circular note to the powers on Sunday rela-
tive to the dispute with England. 1t al
leges that England did not wait for the re-
ply of Senior Comes of Jan. 10 to the note of
Lord Salisbury, but submitted her ultima
tuna on mere reports that Maj. Serpa Pinto
has disobeyed the telegraphic orders sent
him by the Portuguese government in COM
pliance with the wishes of Lord Salisbury.
Maj. Pinto, the note says quieted the Myas-
saland and the Shire district three weeks
ago, some time previous to the sending of
orders, and is now sick at Mozambique. The
note further says thar Senior Comes never
alluded to arbitration during the negotia-
ton, but suggested throughout the holding
of an international conference to settle the
difficulty. - - - ~

A London View of the Matter.
LONDON, Jan. 15.-Sonor Pimental made
all possible haste to form Portuguese
ministry to succeed Senior Comes and his
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 the
demands of the English government. The
reckless temper of the people, as evinced by
their resentment of the governments action
in fatuous warfare upon the British con-
sulate at Oporto, is also an element of alarm
to the monarchical organization, in that it
exposes the state to reprisals for the acts of
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 Of
the Monarch ist and Republican parties and
factions in Lisbon that nothing should stand
in the way of the immediate formation of a
ministry to deal with the not yeL satisfac-
torily settled ques tions in southeast Africa,
pending the consideration of which internal
matters are forgotten or held in allegiance.
For the moment, at least, the Monarchists,
Republicans, Socialists and Anarchists alike
have sunk political, social and economic
questions deep beneath the waves of patriot
ism that now surge over the country, and all
are simply Portuguese
The Editors Rail at England.
The continental press without exception
condemn the course of England in the mat
ter and openly accuse the British govern
ment of having after the manner of a free
bootcr wrested from a helpless power terri
tory. her right to which she dared not sub
init to arbitration.
