KING MANUEL FLEES
Provisional Government Formed
by the ReVOIutiOnIsts.

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:
TheophIIe 6raga, president
Senior Machano, minister Of foreign
affairs.
Senior Costa, minister Of Justice.
Senior TeIlss, minister of finance.
Senior Barrelo, 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 10 their barracks amid the
"brayos" Of the populace and cries Of
Long live the republic"
Senior Leao, the new civil governor,
addressed an immense crowd Of citi-
zens from a balcony of the town hall.
He told them that he entrusted the
maintenance Of order to them, adding:
Respect all public and private prop
erty and the lives of all persons, who
ever they may be. The republic In
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
ary songs.
The yacht Amelia has put to sea
with the duke Of Oporto and the In
! fanta Alfonso, who embarked at Cas-
caes. 1t is believed that the yacht Is
going to take aboard other members
of the royal family at Psniche or
| Erioeira.
King Manuel, according to the most
circumstantial account, took refuge
| first, with the taeit consent of the
revolutionary leaders, On board The
Brazilian warship Sac Paulo, which
/
there but a short time and feeling un-
safe, he took motor boat to Cascass,
about twelve miles distant. Upon the
arrival Of the British warship New
castle, he went aboard Of her. He
went ashore from her later and sailed
for Gibraltar.
King Manuel is now under British
/ hn
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-Waiker,
at Europa point.
One dispatch places the number
killed at only 100.
The palace was bombarded by the
warships with deadly effect, but only
for 10 minutes, when the red and green
Republican flag is said to have been
! hoisted.
The leaders Of the revolutionary
party strongly repressed all attacks
on property and unnecessary excesses,
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. II this is correct II
may foreshadow the ultimate course
of any provincial troops still adhering
to the monarchy.
from Lisbon says:
Lisbon was awakened at dawn Tues
day by the roar of artillery and found
the town in a state of siege. A re-
volt had broken out. Several regi-
ments of infantry, cavalry and artil-
lery killed their officers who resisted
and marched into the town, signalling
to the warships in the river, which
also revolted, hosting the Republican
flag. The same flag was hoisted at
the Almada fort and at Barreiro,
where general strike proclaimed. In
struments of war were concentrated
in the Avenida de Liberia, where a
large fair was being held, and the
theaters and tents we're turned into a
military camp. There the Republican
flag was hoisted and the place was
protected by artillery. The loyal
troops marched against the insur-
gents, engaging in incessant combats
from dawn until midnight. There
were large numbers killed or wounded
on both sides. The hospitals are full.
The red cross has been hoisted on all
of them and on motor CARS, which are
constantly conveying the wounded to
them.
THE artillery ashore caused great
destruction. 1t was answered by the
warships, which bomtarded the Neces-
sidades palace. The Tul of Oporto,
the kings uncle. hesLe1 tie mountain
artillery, which was driven back by
the insurgents. Everything is pa
ralyzed, commerce, traffic and the tele-
craps, telephones ano railways. The
latter have been cut by INSURGENTS"
The greatest EXETER ent 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 ard soldiers, but so
far as can be learned no excesses were
committed or revenre ta,-en on politi-
