LISBON, Oct. 10.-The provisional
government is fixed in it's determina-
tion to drive the monks and nuns out
of thecountry. A decree was published
in the Official Gazette today, ex-
pelling the Jesuits and the foreign
members of the orders. Portuguese
monks and nuns, however, may return
to their families If they renounce their
orders. Otherwise they, too, must quit
the country.
Already hundreds of inmates of re-
ligious establishments have crossed
the border. The most interesting
event today in connection with the
edict of expulsion was the release from
custody of Cardinal Netto, former
patriarch of Lisbon, whose arrest, the
minister of justice explained, was for
the purpose of protecting him from
possible outrage.
Under the decree of expulsion all the
Jesuits' property reverts to the state.
The property of the other religious
communities will be sealed and dis
posed of later.
The Jesuits have enormous quanti-
ties Of land, and in addition gold and
silver church ornaments, vestments,
chalices, studded with precious stones,
and valuable cellars of old wines.
1t is reported the Irish Dominican
friars and nuns, possessing church
and convent here, will be exempted.
No masses were celebrated In Lisbon
Sunday In any church except that of
the Dominican Fathers, over which the
British flag floats.
Gen. Pimentel Pinto, one OF the few
1nonarchial leaders who took any
active share in attempting to suppress
the revolutionary movement, has been
liberated on promising that he would
do nothing to disturb the republic.

DIRECTORS CONVENTION
MEETS AT CHAMBER

The directorate of the Convention
league met at the chamber of COM
merce last night to consider methods
for interesting the public in the busl-
ness of the organization.
Secretary Virgins stated in his re-
port that a guaranty fund would have
to be secured if effective work were
to be done. He said he had much eX-
perience in soliciting funds and had
learned that a repetition of calls upon
the business men does not bring the
desired results. His plan, as outlined
at the meeting, was to have every
wholesale and retail organization,
every railroad, bank and hotel get
busy and subscribe such amounts as
could be spared for convention pur-
noses during the next two years. lie
declared that only a businesslke man
ner of management will succeed in
such matters, and he showed how
much easier it would be on the mer-
chants if they were only called upon
for a small assessment from time 10
time than it would be to donate some
thing every time a convention met
here.
II. z. Osborne, commander of Stan
ron most. G, A. r., and a director of
both the chamber of commerce and
the Convention league, spoke of his
recent trip to Atlantic City, where he
made a determined effort to land the
encampment for Los Angeles in 1911.
He said that even though Los An
geles did not get the coveted prize,
it did get a lot of advertising from
the veterans. He said the board walk
in Atlantic City looked like an ami
mated crowd of Los Angeles boosters.

EXPELLED PORTUGUESE NUNS
WILL COME TO AMERICA
Release of Former Patriarch of
Lisbon Is Ordered

LISBON, Oct. 1o.-Dr. Costa, the
minister of justice, today ordered the
release of Cardinal Joseph Sebastian
Netto, former patriarch of Lisbon, who
had been seized and ordered expelled
from the country. Costa explained
that the real purpose of the arrest was
to protect the cardinal from possible
outrage.
The minister declared that several
monasteries and converts belonging to
Portuguese or foreign orders were veri-
table arsenals and that the activity
Of the clericals who persisted in OBJ
stinate resistance to the republic has
tened the order of expulsion.
Antonio Almeida, the minister of the
interior of the provisional government,
is quoted in an interview as saying
the fighting with the monks was pro-
Voked by them, they having fired upon
the soldiers and people from the win
dows of the monastery without shot
having been fired at them. He added
that not more than sixty persons were
killed in the recent revolution. The
government will make a complete
change in it's representatives abroad.
This will mean the retirement of Vis-
count De Alte, minister at Washing
ton since May l, 1902.
Many of the nuns who are being
expelled have announced their inten-
tion Of going to America.
MONKS EXPELLED
Official DEGREES eXpelling the Jesuits
and declaring their property confiscat-
ed, and expelling foreign monks be-
longing to other orders, were formally
promulgated today.
The DEGREES which appear in the
official journal specify that Portuguese
members of religious orders other than
Jesuits, who accept secularization, may
remain in Portugal and return to their
families, but those refusing to be-
come secular must leave the country.
The provisional cabinet is conducting
exhaustive inquiries with the object
of fixing the nationality Of persons be-
longing to religious bodies. The dem
onstrations at the capital are being
paralleed in the provinces and the re-
mote country districts. From every
where come reports Of fetes in honor
of the new republic.
Tranquility prevails throughout the
country. The normal life Of the ma
tion proceeds. Lisbon is resuming its
ordinary appearance. Business rou-
| tine has been renewed.
No boats are allowed to approach
the three Portuguese cruisers anchored
in the river Tagus. A monument to
the victims Of the revolution will be
/ erected,

Thermometer lowering uncomfortably
close to the century mark the fifty
two delegates to the constitutional
convention began building today the
covenant under which the last of the

into the Union. The progressive ele-
ment of the Democrats-the wing
which stands for a constitution guar
anteeing unrestricted rights of exer-
cising the initiative, referendum and
recall-are in complete control Of the
assembly. This was evidenced by the
defeat in caucus of Alfred Franklin,
the conservative candidate for presi-
dent of the convention, and the sub
seQuent election of George w. P. Hunt
of Globe, a progressive leader. Judge
w. e. Wells, choice of the minority,
received the unanimous support of the
Republicans-eleVen votes.
A resolution was passed immediate
Iy after organization adopting the con-
Yided in the enabling act.
Another resolution adopted unani-
mously withholds the privilege of the
floor from all but delegates to the con-
Vention.

was chosen chief clerk Of the conven-
tioi. President Hunt has been promi-
nent in the Democratic party Of the
territory for twenty years. He came
from Missouri and was a cousin OF

VATICAN SURPRISED BY
PORTUGUESE CENSORSHIP

ROME. Oct. 10.-Much surprise was
expressed at the Vatican today when
cipher dispatches containing import
ant instructions to the papal nuncio
at Lisbon were returned to Cardinal
Merry del Val unsent, with the ex-
PLANTATION that the international bu-
reaus of telegraphs at Berne, on re-
quest of the republican government
of Portugal, had suspended, as 1t is
entitled to do by the international
bureau, all cipher messages. The pro-
hibition includes messages in code to
the diplomatic corps at Lisbon.
This action is considered as almost
unprecedented by the Vatican, and as
indicating that the provisional govern
ment does not feel its position to be
secure.
