lutionists and q republic has been pro.
claimed, with Theophile Braga as pro,
visional president, and other promin.
ent Republicans constituting the min.
istry, there are still many thousands
in and around the capital who are
loyal to the monarchy. The monarch.
lists include portion of the Lisbon
troops and troops massed in en-.
trenched camps without the city.
Thus far these have refused to ally
themselves with the revolutionists,
and the provisional government is
taking steps to enforce allegiance.
That King Manuel is safely out of
Portugal is disclosed by dispatches
from Gibraltar, which say that he
landed there Thursday night in COM
pany with the queen mother, the
doWager queen and the duke of Opor-
to. The royal family of Portugal is
therefore now under British protec-
ton.
A rigorous censorship still prevents
the details of occurrences in Lisbon
from becoming known, but dispatches
that have come through by way of the
frontier indicate that the fighting in
the streets of the Portuguese capital
was of longer duration and of more
severe nature than at first reported.
Nothing is known Of Thursdays
events at Lisbon, and this in connec-
ton with the statements made by
Premier Canalejas to the Spanish
chamber of deputies that the govern
ment was not cognizant of the estab-
lishment Of provisional government
at Lisbon and that reports had come
to him that fighting in the streets had
been renewed, together with the Lis
bon dispatch that portion of the
entrenched troops had refused to ad-
here to the Republicans shows that
the provisional government has been
obliged to take precautions against a
royalist attack.
The situation in the provinces also
is very doubtful. A delayed dispatch
from Oporto gives brief details of
demonstrations held there on the day
after the rising occurred at Lisbon.
Since then, however, word from Opor-
to indicated that quiet had been re.
stored.
Notification has been sent to the
foreign powers by the provisional GOV
eminent Of the proclamation of the
republic.
The people of Lisbon are ignorant of
events in the provinces and therefore
1t is not known whether the movement
is broad enough to sweep the country.
Nevertheless the Republicans are pro.
ceeding as though the transformation
OF the monarchy into a republic was
an accomplished fact, to stand for all
time.
The government has already ap'
pointed civil governors for the differ.
ent provinces. The Brazilian presi
dent-elect, Marshal Hermes Fonseca,
passed through the streets yesterday
with the provision president. Both
were enthusiastically greeted by the
people.
Order has been restored throughout
the greater part of the city. Patrols
are guarding the thoroughfares.
The British minister had long con
ference with Provisional President
Braga, who assured him that the re
public would continue it's friendly re
lations with Great Britain.
The government continues to re
ceive adhesions, the most notable be
ing the general commanding the en-
trenched camp outside of Lisbon. The
Republicans count upon the triumphf
Of the republic throughout the coun
try. Foreign Minister Machado has
announced that he favors the main
