Kingsbury County independent. (DeSmet, Kingsbury County, S.D.) 1894-1929, 1910-10-14
ROYAL FAMILY IN
FLIGHT WHILE THE
REPUBLIC IS FACT
Monarchists Yet Have Hopes
That They Will Be Able to
Regain Control of
Country.

King Manuel, of Portugal, is to-
day an exile from his capital,
which remains for the moment, at
least, in the undisputed control of
the revolutionists.
Public order has been restored
at Lisbon, and the populace are
peacefully celebrating the advent
of the republic proclaimed. Pre-
mier Teixera De Sousa this after
noon formally relinquished the
reins of government to Provisional
President mTheophile Braga and his
associates.
This much is known from the
few cable dispatches that the Gen.
sor has permitted to go out of the
capital and from wireless messages
sent from vessels in the harbor. Of
other events throughout Portugal
little definite has been learned. In
tense interest centers in the where
abouts of King Manuel and in the
question whether the republic will
endure.
His majesty is variously report
ed at Cintra anad Caxias and on
board the royal yacht Queen
Amelie, bound for the protecting
shores Of England. 1t is certain
that the queen mother, Amelie, and
the kings grandmother, the Dow
ager Empress Maria Pia, are on
this vessel enroute for Gibraltar.
Communication between Lisbon
and the provinces is severed and
the attitude of the people in the
country is in doubt. There are
rumors of loyalist forces moving
on the capital and threatening civil
war,
These cannot be confirmed, but
the ioyalists are said to cherish
the hope that an uprising in the
country districts will restore the
monarchy.
Lisbon, Oct. SIT is reported here
today that the royal family fled from
the capital at the outbreak of the revo4
luton. and is on board the yacht Queen
| Amelie on the way to the English COAST
The struggle between the royalists and
the revolutionists continues in a des-
ultory manner today. /,
The dowager queen, Maria Pia, will
later go 10 Italy, where the royal palace
at Moncalieri has been placed at her
disposal by her sister, Princess Clo-
tide.
Premier Teiera de Sousa and Manuel
Fratel, the minister of Justice, have re-
linquished the direction of affairs of
state to Provisional President Theopile
Braga and his associates in the new
republican government.
Rebels Make More Attacks.
During last night ttacks were made
by revolutionists upon the houses Of
prominent royalists, including j. Luz
ciano de Castro, former premier and
leader of the p~rogressives, but repre-
%sentatives Of the provisional govern
ment soon quoted the popular excite
ment.
1t is reported from setubal in the
southwest OF Lisbon, Inar the Eleventh
infantry regiment has acclaimed the
proclamation of the republic.
The British cruiser New Castle anch-
ored off Lisbon, fired the usual salute
this evening. The vessel did not sa-
lutte when crossing the bar upon her
arrival here and the revolution was,
then in full swing.
