Republic Is Recognized.


LISBON, Oct. THE new Portuguese
republic was virtually recognized to-
day by all the foreign diplomats, who,
under the leadership OF Francis Viliers.
called upon the new foreign minister,
DIT. MachadO.
Though all the members Of the diplo-
matte corps made it plain that they
were not empowered at mis- time for
mally TO recognize the republic, their
call is undoubtedly the forerunner Of an
official recognition.
An announcement vase made today
that the royal family will be exiIed.
King Manusl, the Duke Of Oporto,
Queen Mother Amelie and Dowager
Maria Pia are included in the ban.
The personal property of the royal
family. it was stated, would be re-
spected. This was an unexpected con-
cession, inasmuch as there has been
a strong complaint against the alleged
thefts the royal family have made from
the public treasury.
The cabinet issued a reassuring bull
letin today that messages were being
constantly received from the provinces
declaring loyalty 10 the republic The
danger Of a provincial uprising to re-
store Manuel has now reached the min
tmum, according to President Braga.
Royalist March Denied.
All reports Of royaIist troops mobiIiz-
Ing for a march on the capital are posi-
lively denied. Despite this statement.
the republic is holding the entire army
and navy forces at Lisbon in constant
readiness. There is now no apparent
disaffectiOn among either soldiers or
sailors in the capital. due in part To the
fact that one Of the first things the new
administration did was to expel from
the city all those who refused to Join
In the revolution.
The city guard which held out for
The, King for two days, has Joined in
with the republic.
Business conditions almost reached
the normal in Lisbon today. Banks
and stores were re-oDened and the Gus
tom house resumed operations. All the
government departments are working
as smoothly as could be expected.
Admiral Refs, who headed the revO-
luton, IS reported TO have committed
suicide. No cause Is assigned.
The first connected account Of the
movements Of the royal family from the
outbreak OF the revolution until their
arrival at Gibraltar was obtained TO-DAY

ana excuses, was stout hearted, and
that he probably would have been slain

Left By Secret Exit.
Manuel remained in the palace until
the walls almost fell and then, respond
ing to the demands Of those around
him, he left by a secret exit. The King
made his way 10 MARIA, a few miles
northwest Of Lisbon. At this time
Queen Mother Amelia and Dowager
Queen Maria Pia were at the summer
home at Cintra.

Manuel seemed TO realize he was flee
