CALL
ON new REGIME
Portuguese Republic Il Virtually
Recognized by Foreign Powers-
King Manuel Reaches Gibraltar.

WI sAuo now fOItu-
guese republic was virtually recog-
nized today by all the foreign dIplo-
mats. who. under the leadership of Sir
Francis Viiliers, called upon the new
foreign minister, DIR. Machado. Al
though the members Of the diplomatic
corps made 1t plain that they were
not empowered at this time formally
10 recognize the republic. their cal.
Is undoubtedly the forerunner OF an
Official recognition.
An announcement was made today
that the royal family will be exi.ed
King Manuel. the duke OF Oporto,
Queen Mother Amelie and Dowager
Queen Maria Pia are included In the
ban. The persona. property OF the
royal family, 1t was stated, will be re-
spected. This was an unexpected con-
cession, inasmuch as there has been
strong complaint against the alleged
thefts that the royal family has made
from the public treasury.
The cabinet issued q reassuring
bulletin today that messages were be-
ing constantly received from the
provinces declaring loyalty to the re-
public. The danger OF a provincial up
rising to restore Manuel has now
reached the minimum. according to
President Braga.
Reports that royalists troops are
mobilizing for a march on the capital
are positively denied Despite this
statement the new government IL hold

today by the United Press. Ii shows
that Manuel, despite his youth and ca.
cesses. was stout-hearted and that he
probably would have been slain In hia
palace had his advisors not virtually
forced him to Zee.
Manuel remained In the palace until

and then, Ia RESPONSE to the demands
Of those around him, he left by 80
cret exit, as frst described In these
dispatches on Wednesday. The king
made his way to MARIA, q few miles
northwest Of Lisbon. At this time
Queen Maria Pia were at the summer
home at Cintra.
Thursday morning word was con-
veyed to the royal women that The
king had reached MARIA and they I'm
mediately set out in an automobile
and joined him at the latter place.
The duke of Oporto who had vainly
tried to stem the tide Of the revolu-
ton, but had met with crushing de-
feat In the streets Of the capital. re-
NAMED under cover until Thursday
morning when, under heavy guard,
he boarded the royal yacht Amelie
and sailed to Ericeira, a few miles
from MARIA. The utmost secrecy was
| observed by the duke. an effort even
being made to change the appearance
OF the yacht so that It would not be
recognized.
The Amelie anchored of Ericeira at
! 10 o'clock, Thursday morning. Word
was then sent to Manuel, who, accom-
panied by his mother and grandmoth-
err, started for Ericcira under guard
of 20 students from the MARIA military
| school.
Manuel seemed to realize that he
was fleeing from his country. perhaps
never to return, and he was In tears
during much Of the trip to the coast.
Several times he was on the point OF
turning back, but his mother, who
was almost crazed with her emotions
and the recollection Of the assassina-
ton of her husband and other son,
pleaded with him. 1t was love for MS
mother against love for his throne
and the former conquered him.
The party arrived at Ericeira at
o'clock Yesterday afternoon. and I'M
mediately embarked In Ash boats. In
which they made their way to the
royal yacht. anchored several miles up
the coast. Two men and two women
Attendants accompanied the royal fam
ily. The moment the party was re-
ceiyed aboard the Amelie, orders were
given to set sail. ano at IL O'Clock last
night, Gibraltar was reached.
Manuel remained on the deck OF the
Amelie as long as the shores OF the
country over which he had 30 lately
ruled, remained In sight.
