London, Oct. 5.-Dispatches re-
ceived from a variety of sources in
Lisbon make it clear that the revo-
luton has been successful, and a
Republican form OF government,
under the Presidency of Theophile
Braga, has been proclaimed,
King Manuel, according to the
most circumstantial account, took
refuge first, with the tacit consent
OF the revolutionary leaders, on
board the Brazilian war ship Sac
Patio. which was lying in the har-
Dor. He remained there but a short
time, and, feeling unsafe, he took a
motor boat to Cascaes, about a
dozen miles diStnt, and remained
there until the arrival OF the Brit
ish cruiser New Castle this after
noon. He went aboard of her and
sailed for a destination previously
stated to be Gibraltar, San Sebas-
tian, and England.
MURDER BRINGS REVOLT.
All accounts agree that the revolt be-
gan early Tuesday morning. Il was a
premature outbreak, caused by the mur-
der Of Prof. Bombarda by an army Off
Ger. The navy was represented by two
warships in the harbor and, led by Ad-
mirai Refs these ships opened hostilities.
A large section OF the troops co-operated
with the warshps a considerable force
remained loyal 10 the King and fought
desperately against the insurgents for
many hours. About S,O00 citizens Joined
in the Revolutionary attack, and the
casualties were severe. There is no re-
liable information on this point. but one
dispatch gives the number killed at only
100
The palace was bombarded by the war
ships with deadly effect. but only for ten
minutes. when the red and green repub
lIcan flag is said 10 have been hoisted.
Property Is Protected.
The leaders Of the revolution sternIy
repressed all attacks on property and un-
necessary excesses, and the latest dis
patches say that good order now pre-
walls. Altogether it appears 10 have been
one of the quickest, cleanest, and most
business-ltke revolutions OF modern times.
It Is necessary ITO point out that IT is
by 10 means certain that the revolt IS
a permanent success. The provinces are
more loyal than Lisbon, and they have
not yet been heard from. The same doubt
exists as 10 the attitude OF the regi-
ments In the provinces. II is stated from
Madrid that some at least of the pro-
vincial garrisOns including that Of Opor-
TO, are marching to Lisbon 70 support the
monarchy. The only provincial center
where the insurgent movement is re
ported 10 be active is Oporto and the
accounts OF the situation there are con
Trajectory. One declares that fighting oc-
CURED there similar TO that In the capital,
while onther says that order vas not
broken.
LOyaiist Troops Quit,
The loyaIist troops went over 20 the
insurgents at O'Clock this morning. They
quit Dom Pedro square. where they were

Fight I'm Darkness.
During the earlier fighting which went
on many hours in total darkness, the
