THE REVOLUTION IN PORTUGAL
Royal Family Fleeing Incosnito-
About Two Hundred Killed and
Eonr Hundred Injured In Clashes.

London, Oct. Ga dispatch today
to Reuters from San Sebastian says
that King Manuel and his mother
passed through that city this morning
en- route to France. The supposed
royal pair we're .incognito and their
identity was not clearly established.
Conflicting reports are as prevalent
as yesterday. One report says that
the king was arrested aboard ship,
just as he was preparing to fee.
The Duke OF Oporto, Manuel's uncle,
has not been seen or heard from since
early Tuesday morning, when he tenn
porarily directed the defense OF the
royalists. The dukes force was quick
ly routed by the revolutionists, but
whether he was captured is not known.
Pretender Dom Miguel, Duke of
Braganza, left his country home, near
Vienna, few days ago and has not
been heard from since. 1t is believed
that he had advance news OF the up
rising and that he is now in conference
with his followers, hoping eventually
to be called to the throne. In such
an event an American girl would be
the queen of Portugal, as Don Miguel,
was married a few months ago to
Anita Stewart, Of New York.
The revolution is not proving popular
in the provinces OF Portugal, according
to some OF the dispatches received here:
These declare that jroyalists and the
population in many rural parts of the
country are gathering their forces to
resist the new government.
The success of the revolution de-
pend, largely on the disposition made OF
King Manuel. II Manuel is prisoner
or has fled, there is no question that
monarchy is ended, but if the reports
that he is rallying his forces at MARIA are
true, long struggle is inevitable.
Badajoz, Oct. 6-Messages just eceiv-
ed from Lisbon declare that the .revo-
lutionists are fortying the citv's vulner-
able points in anticipation Of an attack
by royalist troops who are reported as
marching against the capital.
The restoration of King Manuel IS
demanded by many provincial troops.
Their strength, however is problematlc
and it is not believed that they will be
able seriously to interfere with the new
government.
Practically all OF the army and navy
which did not participate in the revo-
luton today answered the proclamation
OF the new government and reported at
their headquarters, pleading loyalty to
the republic. There is little doubt
that this pledge will be kept, at least
for the present.
One OF the first acts of the provisional
government was to issue a proclamation
prohibiting reprisals against the royal
lists. Despite the dissolution OF the po-
lice force, the city was markedly free OF
disorder when the last refugees de-
parted.
Madrid, Oct, 6.-Premier Canaleias
declared positively today that the queen
mother OF Portugal and the Duke OF
Oporto are now on board one Of the
royal yachts and are safe from capture.
The premier processes to know nothing
about the whereabouts OF Manuel.
Lisbon, Oct. 5.-d0:30 p. m.-via
Carcavellos, Oct. 6).-King Manuel
has escaped and will not be recapt,lred.
Leaders of the revolution tonight
know exactly where the young ex king
is located, but arc purposely aiding in
the spread of conflicting stories OF his
Whereabouts il order to prevent hi:
possible capture.
The Braga government is acting will
great Grmness in suppressing disorders.
Lisbon, Oct. 6.-Minister Of Justice
Costa, OF the provisional government
today officially announced that the
royal family is fleeing from Portugal. .
The minister refused to make his
statement more specific.
This statement disposes Of the story
that Manuel is at MARIA. and is rallyine
all OF his forces. Costa declared thai
the new government is in receipt o.
numerous messages pledging the sup
port OF the provinces.
There can be no doubt OF the com.
plete success OF the republic, he said.
Civil war is unlikely and within few
days we expect to have the provinces as
enthusiastic in our support as are the
republicans OF Lisbon"
Badajoz, Spain, Oct. 6.-Two hundred
killed and 400 wounded is the estimate
OF the casualties in the Lisbon fighting,
OF a number of persons arriving here
from that city They say that those
figures are conservative.
Madrid, Oct. GA report reached
Madrid this afternoon that the republic
cans OF Lisbon had dynamited the Ne
cessidades Palace. and also the kings
palace at Santurem. The continued
interruption of Geographic news direct
from Lisbon is construed here to mean
that there is either continued fighting
in Lisbon or in the provinces.
The latest report from Badaiozls that
the royalists still hold a number Of
strongholds in Lisbon and that another
battle is feared tonight. :;
Liverpool, Oct. 6.-The Portuguese

well in hand. .
