the country. Promising this, the duke
was not only permitted to go, but was
given an escort to the royal yacht

CURED today between the revolutionists
and the defenders OF the Quelhos Mon
astery, the latter being captured after a
heavy artillery fire, in which several
monks were killed.
The fighting, according 10 the most
authentic reports, was started by the
monks, who attacked party OF pass
ing revolutionists, in revenge for the
bombardment of the monastery on
Wednesday. A rifle fight ensued, and
the revolutionists were being worsted
when infantry, cavalry and artillery re-
Inducements came up. The monastery
was again bombarded and its defenders
surrendered after two hours resistance.

we're killed and a score injured on both
sides.

astery, the surviving monks were al
lowed to leave, taking their dead and
