LISBON, Oct. 9.--The expulsion of
the monks from Portugal has begun
No time will be lost in driving them
across the frontier. Several hundred
nuns have been assembled and Will be
deported out of the country.
Cardinal Neto, ex-patriarch of Lis
bon, the bishop of Beta and other
prominent ecclesiastics, nave aIreduy
been expelled.
The authorities issued a warning
against the exaggerated reports con-
stantly finding currency among the eX-
cited populace. The affair at Quelhas
monastery was not very serious, but
the interior of the church was wrecked
and desecrated and the organ was de-
stroyed in the mad search by soldiers
and civilians who invaded the oulld-
ings in search of underground pass
ages. by which they imagined priests
and municipal guards enormously sus-
pected Of hiding there made their es-
cane. No secret passages were dls-
covered, but the searchers tore down
walls and benches and even the altdr
in their vain endeavor.
Each day apparently adds to the
stability of the republic. The MEM
bers of the new administration assert
that adherence to the new prlnGlPies
has been given by many oully lAs
Openlv there are no royalist troops
to oppose the forces Of the Republicans,
and Lisbon, after two days OF blood-
shed and a further brief period OF dls-
order, is quite as it was weeks be1ore
the uprising. :.
Alfonso Costa, minister Of Justice, IN
an interview today said: The solu-
ton of the problem OF CONGREGATIONS Il, Is
not dif1cult. The government only

out trouble, and the contiscaton Oh
property will follow in due course"
Last evening there was great excite
ment in various parts of the clty.
Cavalry patrolled the streets and from
time to time rife shots were hearu' II
was impossible to ascertain from What
direction the shots came. sailors
guarding the Merces chapel entered
that edifice, but found nothing. 1t Is
believed, however, that underground
passages connect the converts and that
those who were responsible Tor the
shooting made their escape through
these.
Public curiosity about the fight of
King Manuel and the other members of
the royal family has been awakened
by a. violent attack on Manuels cour~
age. contained in an article in the
newspaper Odia, the organ of DR.. Jose
de Alpein, chief of the progressive dis
ridents.
The recital of the kings experiences
represents Manuel as cringing In rear
stretched shuddering on a dlVan
while exploding shells shr1eked apou'
the palace; then. deathly pale, totter-
ing about the room, wondering wheth-
er the fate Of the father would be VS.
tied on the son.
New details OF the kings flight,
cleaned from attendants, show that
when Manuel arrived at Mafra he en-
tered a bedroom, saying, Let us
sleep. Our patron saint, the immac-
ulate Virgin Mary, will watch over
u.s.
The morning, however, brought
blight to his hopes, and the departure
for Ericeira was hurriedly decided on.
AS the king was without baggage ana
little money, the attendants bought
bread and tobacco at a nearby shop.
A weeping woman placed box or
handkerchiefs in the trunk Of the
queen mother. When they reached
Ericeila Amelie, prostrated by events
and overcome by the Indifference OF
the people, exclaimed passionately:
"How horrible: 1 never thought the
Portuguese people would treat me
thus"
The aged Maria Pia. who stumbled
across the beach on the arm of a lady
in waiting, was in a state of collapse.
When the fishing boat pulled away
to join the yacht Queen Amelie fell
unconscious in the stern.
1t is estimated that between 5000 ana
5000 monks and nuns will be expelled:
Senior Barto, the new minister or
war. states the killed and wounded in
the revolution number under 800.
