prisoner in the cellar of q house in the
northwest part Of London, the address

PoRrUGAHs TRANQUILITY.
Bernardino Machoda, Prominent Re'
 publican, Says it is Superficial.

Lisbon, Dec. S,-Bernardino Machado, who is regarded as the inevitable choice Of the republicans in the event of a change of regime in Portugal, de- clared to-day that the tranquility of the country Is superficial, and that in- stead of being indifferent to the politi- cal struggle now in progress, the masses are profoundly moved by what is happening.
 The representative of the Associated Press had an interview with Senor Machado to-day and he expressed the conviction that the crisis had opened the eyes Of the people to the manner in lin which they had been governed, and, had sounded the lSnell of the monarchy. "The real strength of republican sem timent never is apparent at the elec- tions because forr-fifths of the people of Portugal do not enjoy the iran chise," Senor Mathado declared But now their political consciences are awake an dthey have received an ob- ject lesson which has destroyed for ever the prestige of the old parties. My advices from the country indicate that republicanism Is rapidly becoming al-S most religion among the masses.
