may turn out to be revolution against the authority of the government. Three regiments of infantry, comprising DOT
 tion of the gallery openly revolted today
 The remainder of the garrison, includ- ing municipal guards remained loyal to to the government. The population of
 Opporto hold aloof from the movement
 at present. It is alleged that.the mutin- eers is to establish Portugese repub- lie. The rebels and loyalists as thls dis
 patch IS being sent are fighting in the street. Rumor has it that many have been killed on both sides. Citizens are barricading their houses, and the report
 Is circulated that government troops are being sent in hast from several
 points to this city.
 The revolt has been suppressed and
 order is once more restored in this
 town. Shortly after the beginning of
 the revolt the insurgent troops and a portion of the Fiscal reds led by two
 non-commissioned -,officers seized the
 hotel De Vile, Clown HalD in Dom
 Pedro's square and proposed to there and then declare republic. However a strong body of loyal troops composed of artillery and fusileers promptly sur-
 roundered and aid:siege to the hotelDe
 Vile. When that building was well
 surroundered the artillery opened fire on it and soon caused the bricks to fly about the heads of the insurgents who defended the building. The lombard
 ment of the hotel De Vile by the troops
 was followed by combined, we'll laid and cleverly drilled infantry attack upon the insurgents in the fortress The sol diers behaved grandly keeping up a rattling fire and advancing at the same time. The result was that after feeble resistance the insurgents surrendered unconditionly The loss on both sides as far as known was slight. The insur- gents will be Itried by court martial and in all probability the ring leaders will be shot.
 Opporto this evening is a city of re- ioicIng. The store keepers have thrown down the barr CTS from the windows and doors of their houses and everybody is congratulating everybody else that the insurgent outbreak was not so ser | iCus as people at first expected it would be.
