ON BOARD A BRITISH CRUISEE
A Republican Form of Government With Theophlle Braga as President Has Been Declared-NeW Natlona Flag Unfurled.

Lisbon, Oct. 7.--The Capital is now absolutely in the hands of the Republi cans, who have formed a provisional government, with Theophile Braga ai president.
 A new national flag of red and green Is flying over all the public buildings, including the town hall.
 Already the Spanish minister, in full uniform, has called to pay his respects to the Republican leaders.
 Paris, Oct. 7.-The British cruiser Newcastle with King Manuel and the queen mother aboard has been sig nailed at Gijon of the Spanisi frontier. It is believed that Kinl Manuel will land at Sansebastian arl go by train to London
 The latest advices this evening from Lisbon give the following details oi the troubles:
 King Manuel surrounded by ter loyal regiments held the royal palace until an early hour Wednesday morn. ing against a terrific bombardment by the warships flying the green and blue flag. The peasants by the thousands fiocked into the city and joined the soldiery in revolt.
 Fighting with a bitterness which had it's birth in the murder of his father and brother by the same Re publicans the young monarch refused to abdicato until the walls of the palace began to tumble and the re maining soldiers whom he depended upon for support at all hazards gave up the cause focking to join the mobs in the streets. After consulting with his cabinet Manuel leIu the palace in the early morning darkness and hur' ried to Cintra, where the queen mother met him. Later in the day they were smuggled to Cape Roca where the cruiser Newcastle, under or. ders of Sir Edward villiers, British minister at Lisbon, was waiting to re ceive them.
 Manuel in his hour of need turned to England. his best friend com. mercially and politically.
 Will Be An Exile.
 There is no doubt that in future he will be an exile in Europe and even In England it will be necessary for him to live in the utmost retirement.
 His marriage with an English princess, which seemed probable some months back is improbable now. All his property in Lisbon will be con iscated but fortunately most of his private fortune which he inherited from his father, lies in England and French banks.
 In some quarters 1t is heI- that the Republican plot to overthrow the Portuguese monarchy was engineered if not entirely matched in London. The fact that some Republican leaders were here recently is known to Scot land yard, who informed the home sffice and ultimately the Portuguese minister but as nothing of criminal nature has been ascertained no action was taken. In the last six months arms in great quantities were shipped into Portugal from Germany and France. A number of Spanish Re publleans are known to have gone to Lisbon during the last few days to aid in the overthrow of the monarch Alfonso's throne is now understood to be tottering and a revolutionary move ment in Spain is likely to break out at any time.
 London, Oct 7.-King George. at Balmoral immediately upon hearing of King Manuers overthrow, asked for particulars and requested that the lat. est and fullest foreign dispatches be sent him posthaste. The king and queen are greatly concerned over the safety of the youthful monarch, who, as last of the Braganzas is a distant cousin and it was at the kings instiga- ton that the cruiser Newcastle hasten ed from Gibraltar to Lisbon to rescue the king if possible.
 Madrid Oct 7.-The struggle be- tween the revolutionists and loyalists at Lisbon continues. Advices from the Portuguese capital, the authentic ity of which can be safely assured, are meager. The report of continued lighting, however, is from a news source and may have escaped the cen sor. The intelligence is significant as putting new light on the situation.
 Practically all of the dispatches from Lisbon conveyed the impression that the revolutionists were in com. plete control and the populace had ac cepted the republic as an accom-. plished fact.
