shells taking effect in the building oe-
cupied by the ministers of war and ma
rine, killing many non-combatants,
who were unable to escape from their
desks. Her consort, the Adamstor,

citadel at San Jorge, commanding the
harbor, but did little damage beyond
destroying some buildings on the lower
slopes. One result of the bombardment

, Liberdad, the handsomest thoroughfare
in Lisbon, between the royalists at the

Hotel Guests Have Hard Time.
"The rebels mounted guns which en-
abled them to sweep the avenue, but
the tree-lined promenade compelled
them to direct their fire to the right
and left, so for the most part they hit
: the two large hotels. When the fire
became too hot the guests in these ho-
tells lowered themselves from the win
dows in the rear to the ground and took
refuge in the stables, where they stay
ed for two days, subsisting on bread
and fruit and sleeping on straw. They
include several Englishmen and one
American.
Presumably a grim tragedy was en-
acted. Further out in the bay the Dom

no sign of life during the day. Sudden

the rattle of machine guns The Repub

to gain possession of the ship, which
had continued to fly the Royalist faf
