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


to-day an unsigned manifesto headed THE
Directory of the Portuguese Republicans
to the Nation" 1t denounces vociferOusly
the English ultimatum, and advocates the
republican federation of the Latin nations,
and the adhesion of Portugal to such fed
eration 1t declares that the movement for
federation of Latin republics is steadily
making great progress and that the force
of that movement is seen and felt in the
revolution in Brazil The manifesto does
not advocate revolution iRPortugal at
the present moment, and is moderate in
tone throughout, except as to the denuncia-
ton OF England's 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
activity and earnestnesS of the new premier,
Senior Pimental, in the pursuit of the
policy of the ministry is winning many ad-
hcrents from the majority, and
FAST pIsARMING THE REPUBLICANS
who want the surrender of the Gomez cabi-
net to the demands of England pretext
for agitation if not actual revolution. Sem
hor 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
flow of 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
that a mutually satisfactory understanding
may be arrived at. The English residents
of this city who have been victims of the
public animos1ty occasioned by the attitude
of England toward Portugal propose to ap-
point a 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-
glish employees of Portuguese houses have
been discharged.
Mobs of workmen and sailors parade the
streets denouncing England. There are
many hundreds of adhesiOns to the COM
. mercial plan of campaign received from
owners of machine building works. Steam
ship companies have transferred their con-
tracts tor coal and iron to Belgium. Eng
! lshmen employed by the government are
given the alternative of dismissal or natu-
ralization. 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
residing in this city. Devega,. a former
Portuguese deputy, presided. He violently
attacked Great Britain and besought his
compatriots to remember the Swiss strug-
gle against Austria as an evidence that a
brave and united people Ia not always
crushed by heavy battalions. He con-
cluded, amid storm of cheers, by thank
/ ing the French press for its sympathy and
support. Senor 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 a resolution depouncing 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-
voked to discuss African affairs.
SPOILED A STRONG CASE.
LONDON, Special.-The Portuguese CORE
spondence was published yesterday in a
blue book" The News, commenting upon
the dispatches, says they confirm the opin-
ion that the marquis OF Salisbury has
spoiled very strong case by undue harsh
ness. His dispatches insult Senior Comes
! by implying a disbelief IN Comes word. 1t
! is doubtful whether any further negotia-
tions will be possible between the govern
ments for long time.
A TRANQUILIZING EFFECT.
The rumOr that British fleet was in the
Tagus has had atranquilizing effect uponth
papers. The Journal of Commerce, a popu-
lar organ, entreats the people not to pro-
long unjustifably the manifestations which
involve breaches of the peace and
possibly fresh national humiliation.
1t is stated that leading ship
owner who is in municipal authority
begged Mr.. Petres mediation to prevent the
Heet entering the Tagus, and Mr.. Petre init
mated that if such thing happened il
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
