KING MANUEL REPORTED ID BE IN HANDS OF ENEMY
An Army Lieutenant Is Said To Have Been the Cause of
 Outbreak

London, October 5.-According to the Daily Mail revolution broke out in Lis- bon yesterday (Tuesday). The dispatch adds that King Manuel is a prisoner; that street fighting has occurred; that the warships are bombarding the palace, and that all communication with the capital Is cut off
 No Lisbon dispatches have been re- ceived in London since yesterday after- noon. when the Eastern Telegraph com- pany announced the receipt of one from It's station at Carcavellos, Il miles from Lisbon, stating that all communication with the capital was interrupted.
 The Daily Mail prints It's report of the revolution without a date line, and it probably may be based upon a wireless dispatch said to have been received by | the Paris Matin, reading: | "A revolution has broken ont in Lis bon and warships are now bombarding the capital. The army and navy are l the reNOlutiOnaries.
 None of the other London morning newspapers print Lisbon dispatches or have any mention of a revolution. A Portuguese merchant in London saws thar he received news of a plot in Lisbon on Monday.
 The announcement of the death of Pro- fessor Bombarda, the republican deputy | ana antf-clercal, who was shot by tha | Raha 1IA I t-1.-. day may have possibly started a revo- | iution.
 | Bombarda was a distinguished edu- | cator. He recently was elected to tha Portuguese parliament in the republican interests. His assailant according to some reports, was a madman.
 The Times this morning prints m dispatches from it's Lisbon correspon- dent but it prints the Mathis wire less dispatch and says it has req son to believe that the news of the revolution fs true. although the rumor that the King Is prisoner is not well supported.
 Private advices received from Portu- gal recently had reference to the dan ger threatening the monarchy. A let | ter from well informed correspondent at Lisbon received here only last night criticfses the King as giving almost as little aid to the monarchistic cause as to the progressives and declares that ms lack of force ih political affairs has been accentuated by public suspicion of his private life
 | King Manuel, says the correspondent. for these reasons has been rapidly los ing the good esteem of those whose honest attachment to the Roman church mas hitherto held them loyal to the monarchy in his person. The Times | further n0infq hat many recent indications of approachinr trouble, the permeation of military and naval affairs with republicanism. ru- mors that conservative statesmen were entering into relations with the re- publican leaders and similar signs that can have only one meaning while the court party displayed timidity, thus prompting the belief that they would oner no serious resistance to revo- lution which might therefore be ef- fected quietly and possibly by parlia- mentary methods.
 News By Wireless | Paris, October 1.-The Echo de Paris prints wireless dispatch from its cor l respondent, dated St. Marie de Lauaa.- l Cape Blanco, s:20 p. m., saying: l Revolution has broken out in Portu- l gal. A great part of the army and all
 
 republicans. At o'clock this afternoon l a bombardment of the royal palace com- l menced. All ingress to the city has been forbidden. It Is impossible, therefore, to procure and forward details" No confirmation of this has been re- ceived by the foreign office Telegraphic communication with Portugal has been interrupted since 3 D. m. yesterday The Portuguese legation has no knowledge | of a revolution.
 Sebastian Magalhies Lima, one of the | chiefs of the Portuguese republican party. who is now in Paris, declares that he is not surprised at revolution in l that country, which had been long pre- dicted, and for which preparations had been going steadily on.
 The assassination of Deputy Bombar- l da, he said, is the spark which started the connagration. The people saw in the murder of the chief of the Liberal league an act of clerical vengeance Nothing more was required to set loose popular indignation and precipitate revolution.
 The republican party had hoped that a | change in the regime could be effected in an orderly way by the operation of the will of the people expressed freely | and without restraint, but the obstinacy | of the men in power and the blindness of the soverign prevented this.
 | The monarchists might have been ex- pected to profit by the lesson of the
 
 errors and abuses which aroused the peo- pie against the dictational system desired by the party of royalty remained. The law against the press was vigorously ap- piled and journalists were forced to flee the country to escape jail. The police in- vented secret services, the discovery of which permitted the prosecution of the republicans and no measure was neglected to stifle the voice of the people.
 Peaceful citizens were arrested as lsuspects on mere denunciations The ransacking of houses was a daily oc- currence The liberty and dignity of the population were violated in every way Ipossible by criminal court officer pos- sessing the powers of inquito
 These monstrous acts and this renewal of the worst epoch of tyranny. happened at the moment when the advent of the young king led the credulous to believe that an improvement in the condition of | affairs was about to take place. The republicans were not deceived. They continued their propaganda throughout the country convinced that tha salvation of Portugal was only Dos-
