When Troops Storm Monastery They
Find Occupants Gone.
Lisbon Following their policy Of
extreme vigilance, authorities of the
provisional government sent . force
to search the monastery at Grace and
arrest the friars. On arriving they
found the doors barricaded. The sold
iers and members Of the populace fired
several volleys into the building.
whereupon the friars returned the at
tack, their bullets striking the road
way and adjacent buildings. The at
tackers then withdrew for consulta-
ton.
Shortly they returned to the attack,
assailing the heavy doors Of the con-
vent with battsring rams. When the
doors yielded, the soldiers and the peo-
pie rushed in and searched every cor
ner of the edifce, but not friar was
to be found. 1t is surmised they made
their escape by underground passages.
On account of reports that some
troops in the provinces have not yet
declared their adherence to the repub-
lie, the provisional government has
posted 80 heavy guns and 10 Maxims
in trenches on the heights of the city,
and are ready to check any attempted
invasion Of Lisbon. Up to the pres
emf, however, the government has re-
ceived no advices of risinEs in favor Of
the monarch.
The most interesting man in Portu-
gal Is the new president, Theophile
Braga, who may be said without exag-
geration to be the father, not only Of
this revolution, but Of that in Brazil,
having, by his standing as professor
OF his philosophy, paved the way for
both movements.

A signlficnnt fact disclosed By the
report of the first assistant postmas-

were discontinued than established.
and that more business Is being done
at less cost The policy Of the de-

masters so long as their services were
satisfactory was followed uniformly
throughout the country during the

made that the department be given

pens that an assistant postmaster re-
