Rebels Very Brave.

The revolutionists showed extra
ordinary courage and sustained an
attack on all sides by superior
forces for two days and nights. On
Tuesday the Admastor shelled the
royal palace and King Manuel and
the Queen Mother Amelie were
forced to escape to Cascaecas,
whence they went to Mafra.
The same night the Admastor and
Rafael shelled the centre of the town
doing much damage and execution
among the monarchist forces, and
finally the latter. tired of the car
mage. surrendered. The republic was
proclaimed in the afternoon and the
republican flag hoisted on the public
edifices.
The provisional government has is
sued communication to the foreign
powers notifying them of the procla-
nation Of the Portuguese republic.
No serious obstructions are expected
to be offered by the provinces to the
new regime. The government has
already appointed civil governors for
the different provinces.

Huntsville. Ala. Oct. 6.-Judge
Tancreed Belts. of the law and equity
court. i'm his charge to the grand
jury put II squarely up TO that body
to indict the soft drink men in Hunts
Vile who have bought Federal reve-

license. he said. is prima facie evil
dence that the liquor laws of Ala
bama are being violated.
1T is a matter of common knowl-
edge" Judge Belts said, that the
prohibition law is being violated in
this city and county. Soft drink men
have even had the nerve to procure
revenue licenses and display them In
their places Of business. 1t is not
necessary for the grand jury To
nave anything beyond a list of those
sort drink dealers who have purchas-
ed revenue license. They may be in
dlcted merely because they have the
licenses in their possession, that be-
ing evidence under the law that they

Lisbon, Oct. 6.--While the city Of
Lisbon is in the hands of the revolu-
tionists and a republic has been pro-
claimed. with Theophile Braga as
provisional president and other
prominent republicans constituting
the ministry there are still many
thousands in and around the capital
who are loyal to the monarchy The
monarchists include a portion of the
Lisbon troops and troops massed in
entrenched camps about the city.
Thus far these have refused to ally
themselves with the revolutionists
and the provisional government is
taking steps to enforce allegiance.
The people Of Lisbon are ignorant
of events in the provinces and
therefore it is not known whether
the movement is broad enough to
sweep the country. Nevertheless the
republicans are proceeding as
though the transformation of the
monarchy into a republic was an ac-
cepted fact, TO stand for all time.
