PORTUGAL REPUBLIC;
KING MANUEL FLEES
Provisional Government Formed
by the ReVOIutiOniStS.

The republic of Portugal has taken
its place among the governments OF
the world. The revolution seems to
be accomplished and the worst of the
violence is believed to be over. A pro
visional government has been formed
as follows:
TheophIle Braga, president
Senior Machano, minister of foreign
affairs.
Senior Costa, minister of justice.
Senior TelIes, minister of finance.
Senior BarreIo, minister of war.
Senior Antonio Comes, minister Of
public works.
Senior Alonida. minister of the in,
terror.
Senior Amaro Comes, minister Of
marine.
Senior Leao, civil governor of Lis.
bon.
The loyalist troops went over to the
insurgents. They quit Dom Pedro
Square. where they were posted, and
returned 20 their barracks amid the
"bravos" CT the populace and cries Of
Long i've tie republic.
Senior Leao. the new civil governor
address sed al immense crowd of citl
zens from balcony of the town hail
He told them that he entrusted the
maintenance of order to them, adding:
Respect al! public and private prop
erty and the lives of all persons, who.
ever they may be. The republic IS
generous and magnanimous."
The Republican flag is now dis
played throughout the city on all pub
lie buildings, the Bank of Portugal
and many business houses and resi-
dences People are parading the
streets with arms, singing revolution
airy songs.
One thousand dead and several thou
sand wounded is the toll exacted in the
three days of war to make Portugal a
republic.
King Manuel is now under British
protection. The Portuguese royal
yacht Amelie, having on board the
king, the queen mother and the duke
of Oporto, entered the harbor at Glib
raltar Shortly after the king and the
queen mother went ashore and drove
to the summer residence of the gov.
ernor, Sir Frederick Forestier-W Walker,
at Europa point.
The leaders of the revolutionary
party strongly repressed all attacks
on property and unnecessary excuses,
and the latest dispatches say that good
order now prevails. Altogether it ap-
pears to have been one of the quick
est, cleanest and most business like
revolutions of modern times.
1t seems that the struggle in Lisbon
was finally decided by the wholesale
desertion of royalist soldiery to the
revolutionists. If this is correct it
may foreshadow the ultimate course
of any provincial troops still adhering
to the monarchy
The greatest excitement since the
outbreak was in connection with the
proclamation of the republic when the
people thronged the streets delirious
with enthusiasm and cheering the
leaders, warships and soldiers, but so
far as can be learned no excuses were
committed or revenge taken on politi-
cal opponents. Admiral Ries, leader
of the revolution, committed suicide

had miscarried and that the Republi-
can cause was lost His body and

Members of all religious orders
were ordered to leave the country at
once.
The government, it is declared, will
education, assure the national defense
on land and sea, administer the col.
onies on the basis of decentralization
and self-government. Establish a sys-
tenn of justice that will ensure essen

magistrates, investigate the expulsion
of monks and nuns, close the Roman
Catholic schools. compel the civil reg
istration of births, deaths and mar
riages, separate church and state, and
strengthen the nations credit and
finances.

of Europe. came to the throne when
