New Government Is Losing No Time In Expulsion Of
 the Religious Orders
REPUBLIC IS GAINING
 STRENGTH EACH DAY
Details of the Kings Flight Are Pub- lished Showing That the Royal Family Gained No Sympathy
 From the People

Lisbon, October 9.-The expulsion of the monks has begun and no time will be lost in driving them across the frontier. Several hundred nuns have been assem- bed and will be deported Cardinal Neto. ex-patriarch of Lisbon, the bishop of Beja and other prominent ecclesiastics have already been expelled
 The authorities utter a warning against the fantastically exaggerated reports con stantly finding currency among the ex- cited and imaginative populace. The af- fair at Quelhas monastery was not very serious, but the whole interior of the church was wrecked and desecrated and the organ destroyed in the mad search by soldiers and civilians who invaded tho buildings in search for underground pas sages, by which they imagined priests and municipal guards, enormously sus- pected of hiding there, made their es- cape. No secret passages were found, but the searchers tore down walls and benches and even the altar in their vain endeavor.
 Each day, apparently, adds to the sta- bility of theerepubic. The members of the new administration assert that ad- herence to the new principles has been given by many outlying towns and dis tricts. Openly there are no royalist troops to oppose the forces of the repub- lcans and Lisbon. after two days of bloodshed and a further brief period of disorder, is quite as peaceful as 1t was weeks before the rising took place. Problem Not DimcsIt The provisional minister of Justice, AL fonso Costa. in the course of anNnterview i today, said:
 The solution of the problem or ths congregations is not difficult. The gov ernment only needs to prevent a continu- ance of religious settlements all of which are illegal. The dissolution will occur without trouble and the confiscation of property will follow in due course"
 Last evening there was great excite ment in various parts of the city. Cavalry patrolled the streets and from time 10 time rifle shots were heard.
 It was impossible to ascertain from what direction the shots came Sailors guarding the Mercedes chapel entered that edifice but found nothing It is believed that underground passages connect the convents and that the ones who are re- sponsible for the shooting escaped through these.
 Public curiosity in the flight of King Manuel and the other members of tho. royal family has been awakened by a vio- lent attack on Manues courage, con- tained in an article appearing In the newspaper Odia, the organ of Dr. Jose de Alpeim. chief of the progressive dssi- dents. This recital of the kings experi- ences represents Manuel as cringing in fear, stretched shuddering on a divan. while exploding shells shrieked about the palace. then deathly pale, tottering about the room, wondering whether the fate of the father would be visited on the son.
 Details of Kings Flight
 New details of the Kings flight, gIeaned from attendants. show that when Manuel arrived at Mafra he entered bedroom, saying:
 Let us sleep. Our patton saint the immaculate Virgin Mary, will watch over us"
 The morning, however. brought a bligh. to his hopes, and the departure for Erite- ira was hurriedly decided upon.
 As the King was without baggage and little money, the attendants bought bread and tobacco at a nearby shop. A weep ing woman placed a box of handkerchiefs in the trunk of the Queen Mother. When they reached Ericeira, Ameiie, prostratel by the events and overcome by the in- difference of the people, exclaimed pas sionately:
 How horrible. I never thought that the Portuguese people would treat me thus"
 The aged Maria Pia, who stumbled across the beach on the arm of lady of the court. was in state of collapse. When the fishing boat pulled away to join the yacht Queen Amelie swooned. <
 Facts Reported to Rome
 Rome. October 9.-The vatican has re- ceived dispatches from Mcnsignor Tonti papal nuncio at Lisbon. dated Cintra. which took more than 25 hours to reach Rome. These dispatches briefly report the facts concerning the revolutionary move ment as already known to the public.
 With reference to the Jesuits and other ecclesastics throwing bombs and other explosives without provocation. the vati- can appeals to the common sense of the people of any country as to the improba- bility of such occurrence. The vatican points out that it Is very likely repeti- tion of what happened in Barcelona fin 1909. that the mob must have attacked the religious houses, the inmates defending themselves.
 Regarding the various statements made by Premier CanaleJas at Madfid, II 70 openly stated by vatican officials that if he intends to continue that kind of relig- ious policy, it will be impossible for the holy see to reach any agreement on the religious question with Spain as the prin- ciples of the premier are distinctly anti religious, notwithstanding his affirma- tions to the contrary.
 The vatican also has received the im- pression. according to the same spokeB- man, that Canale1as perhaps does not feel as strongly in this matter as hO wishes it to appear. and that he Is raising the flag of anti-clericalism. preferrinG to fall on that rather than on other questions such as the proposed loan. ne- Rotiations for which are not going fav. orably. t
 In addition the holy see is of the opin- ion that the events In Portugal are cer- tainly not helping the premiers policy and are not strengthening his position.
