Carlos Reis:: Their forces was great
ly augmented by deseTtions from
among the monarchists and they sue
ceeded eventually in getting rontr,'
of the city. -.
The inhabitants are parading the
streets, most of them with rides in
their hands, singing the Portuguese
"Marseillaise," which has now be-
come the national anthem. Red
Cross ambulanles, parties of police
and men from the fire brigade are pa
trolling the stretts and removing the
dead and wounded.
The revolutionists raided all build
ings which flew the old flag and
tore down the emblems of the mon
archy. The warships greeted the
hoisting of the republican flag with
salvos OF artillery.
Eusebio Leao, the republican lead
er, made speech from the balcony
of the town hall, saying that ne en-
trusted the policing of the city and
the maintenance Of order to the care
of the citizens.
Respect all persons and private
property" he exclaimed. land the
life of all persons, whoever they may
be. The republic is generous and
magnanimous."
The huge crowd that had gathered
around the building cheered the
speaker frantically. Notwithstand-
ing the thrilling events Of the past
two days, the people are now show
ing composure, and it seems likely
that order ia the city of Lisbon WILL
be maintained. 1t is rumored that
Gen. Gorjas, who commanded the
defending forces, committed suicide
when he saw that the fall OF the
palace was inevitable.
Nearly all of the troops deserted
the king and went over to the re-
bells. Many ships of the navy did
the same thing leaving the king with
no force to preserve order in Lis
bon.
"A special dispatch from Lisbon
says that the fighting in that city
lasted 40 hours, both parties show
ing extraordinary courage. There
were many casualties before the
monarchists finally joined the win.
