Dispatch from Minister Gage.
WASHINGTON, Oct. "a cablegram re-
ceived at the State department today from
Minister Gage, the first official word from
Lisbon, repeats the press reports of fight
ing at the capitol, the flying of the red
and green emblem over the fort and most
of the public buildings and the reported"
inauguration Of the republic.
The dispatch was dated at 9 p. m. yester-
day. 1t said:
Fighting has been going on all night
in the city and in front of the legation.
Many royalist soldiers have surrendered.
Some of the forts and most public build
| ings are flying the flag Of the republic.
1t mas been reported to me that the king
| of Portugal is aboard the Brazilian war
ship San Paulo, and also that a procla-
nation has been issued declaring the in
| auguration of the republic"

appear to be based on newspaper reports
and the rest already has been told in the
press dispatches. The dispatch was de-
layed by the interrupted telegraphic COM
| munication.

| Provisional President Braga announcing
| the proclamation of the new government
and it is not at all an invariable rule ia
| send such a notice to powers not vitally
| interested. Germany. Great Britain, France
and Spain, for instance, are largely con.
cerned in the situation in Portugal. and II

at once OF the institution of new gev.

The United States having so little Al
stake would not necessarily be the recipien
of such note.
