NEW FLAG SEEN EVERY WHERE

Lisbon, oct. THE establishment of a
republic In Portugal is m accomplished
,act. For city that has just passed
through the throes of a bloody revolu-
ton and sustained a bombardfnent. Lis
BON to-day is in c'oudless sunshine aud
wears remarkable smiling aspect 'rhe
republican flag flutteis on nearly every
building and from every vehicle, the
streets are thronsed with promenaders
shops and offices have been re-opened
and business generally has been resumed.
The only evidences OF the recent per
turbation are small bodies OF troops sta
toned In the principal open spaces of
the city and tho passage now and then
Of Red Cross aInbulanccs
The noticeable outward signs ~ tho
new government are the presence every
whore of the green and red flag of ths
republic and the complete disappearance
OF King Manuel's portrait from public
exhibition. IN fact not a vestige is now
seen Of the post card portraits of the
King or any member Of the royal fam
lily. These have given way to pictures of
members OF the new government and
Photographic records Of the revolution
In the shape of armed leaders and com.
panies Of insurgent troops not in action
out posing for the camera
The damage done to the city by the bonn
parchment was surprisingly slight
ABOUT 300 THE DEATH I1sr.
The total number or killed has not vet
been definitely ascertained. but it proba-
bly, does not exceed 300 A couple of no.
tells near the station bear marks of shells
and bullets.
There Is no unusual excitement The
recent events are discussed by all classes
with phlegmatic calm The general feel
Ing evidently is one of relief that n crisis
so long anticipated as inevitable was sur
mounted so speedily with comparatively
little violence and such a brief disloca-
ton of the national life
The most interesting man in Portugal
at the present moment is the new Presi-
dent, Theophle Braga, who may he said
without exaggeration to be the father not
only of this revolution but of that in Bra
I'll. he having by his standing as a pro-
,essor Of history and philosophy prepared
the ground for both movements A side
hght ON the man Is seen in the fact that
last night after having been elected first
President of Portugal, he returned as
usual, III second class compartment Of
the train to his unpretentious little home
IN the suburbs, quietly receiving the CON
gratulations of the richest and the hum
hlest of his friends and deprecatingly ac-
knowledpin,. tbn froutf. ,,,.,i,,,.. - ~
