They therefore argue that a military
government is the only government likely
to reward them for their services. 1t lie
certain that many officers of high rank
are for inviting the king back again on
condition that he gives an undertaking,
to be countersigned, as 1t were, by Great
Britain and Spain, to maintain the con-
stitution in all circumstances.
The proletariat, having had it's little
fling of "gunpOwder, treason and plot.
has looked in vain for springs Of milk
and honey. The shopkeeping class OF
the big towns realizes that IT has all to
lose and nothing to gain by the sup
precision of court pomps and royal pa
geantry. and is Mortified by the reports
that many rich families have declared i,
their intention to keep up state OF
quasi-mourning. and. II not actually to
leave the country. at any rate to keep
their houses shut for some time to come.
The aristoccracy naturally wants an aris-

queen will not come with him.

LISBON, November 26, 1910
The Portuguese republic is already in
difficulties. and the confusion among its
ministries is considerable. The only per-
son unaffected by the state Of affairs is
Senior Bragg. the provisional president.
who is far too much of a philosopher to
do anything in the matter of statecraft
but devise futile laws. such as the estab-
l'Shment Of divorce by mutual consent.
which has been decreed within the last
few days.
The government is nightly afraid Of
the army, and, having arrt sted several
generals and a great number Of officers
for plotting against the republic, does
not know what to do with them. The
truth of the matter Is that the soldiers Of
all ranks are disappointed at not getting
the prize money which they were prom
Used for their support of the revolutionary
movement. for the excel mt reason that
there is no money to make prizes of. or.
rather. no prizes out Of which to make
money.

BERLIN. November Is. 1910
The news that the headquarters Of the
German submarine fiotiila are to BIT
transferred from kiel. in the Baltic sea,
to Brunsbuttel, in the North sea, the
second naval base and the home of the
second squadron, indicates that the de-
velopments there are fast approaching
completion. Brunsbuttel is regarded as
the greatest component part OF the
scheme for the North sea base. On this
second base coo will be spent. Sit
uated on an estuary Of the Elbe south
ward Of the western entrance Of the
Kiel canal and twenty-three miles from
the open sea, it will provide an anchor
age harbor thirty-seven feet deep for the
largest warships.
The scheme permits of a floating dock.
a torpedo basin and repairing shops, and
the idea Is to extend the site Of the canal
as far as Kudensee. With the compile
ton of Wilhelmshaven and Brunsbuttel
the German navy will have a combined
base, with Bremerhaven and Cuxhaven
serving as connecting links. The base is
severed from the open sea by channels
which are difficult Of navigation except to
pilots familiar with the waterways, Civ
ing access to the Ems, Weser and Elbe
estuaries.

Great Naval Port.

Wilhelmshaven is now one of the great
est naval ports in the world. Besides
the dock extension and the new lock the
accommodation for torpedo fotillas is be-
ing extended. With dreadnoughts at VIII
helmshaven the present units, as they
are displaced, will fall back into the re-
serve feet, which will in all probability
be stationed at Kiel. In addition to the
work completed and in course of compile.
ton at Wilhelmshaven and Brunsbutte
the Island Of Borkum, which protects the
Ems estuary, will be the headquarters OF
at least one battery of an artillery regi-
ment. Two other batteries will be sta
ton at Emden. At the advance part OF
the base-the Island of Helgoland-Iro-
vision has been made for greater bar
rack accommodation and an increase in
the artillery establishment.
In the scheme of defense, which has
been devised to meet the possibility OF
invasion, the Schleswig coast has not
been forgotten. Night operations with
out lights have demonstrated the practi-
cability Of an entire infantry regimen,
with wagons and horses being transport
safely on the Island of Sylt. Under the
same conditions field artillery, with
howitzers and full war equipment. was
Also landed. To complete the German
defensive base on the North sea, and to
guard against the possibility of a hostile
landing, a naval station may ultimately
be established in the Island OF Sylt. The
idea Is constantly being moOted. Ger
man naval experts claim that it would be
the final stage of the program of coast
defense.
