MANUEL BOWS TO INEVITABLE
More than One Thousand Killed in Two
Days Fighting-Deposed King at


the fighting in Lisbon on Tuesday and
Wednesday. An official report to the
Foreign Office confirms the press dis
patches that King Manuel has arrived
safely at Gibraltar. The king and his
mother are now the guests Of the
British governor of Gibraltar, Sir
Frances Forestier-Walker.
Manuel remained on the deck OF
the Amelie as long as the shores OF
the country over which he had SO
lately ruled remained in sight.
London, Oct. THE new Portu-
guese republic was virtually recognized
today by all the foreign diplomats,
who, under the leadership of Francis
Villiers, called upon the new foreign
minister, DR.. Machado. All the mem
bers OF the diplomatic corps made it
plain that they were not empowered
at this time formally to recognize the
republic, but their call is undoubtedly
the forerunner OF an official recognition.
An announcement was made today
that the royal family will be exiled.
King Manuel, the Duke of Oporto,
Queen Mother Amelia, and Dowager
Marie Pia, are included in the ban.
The personal property of the royal
family, it was stated, would be re-
spected.
The cabinet issued q reassuring bull
letin today that messages were being
constantly received from the provinces
declaring loyalty to the republic. The
danger of provincial uprising to re-
store Manuel has now reached the mini
mum, according to President Braga.
London, Oct. In statement
purporting to have been given by King
Manuel upon his arrival at Gibraltar to
one OF the English correspondents, the
deposed ruler declares that he has no
thought OF attempting to regain his
crown by counter revolution.
Il bow to the will of my people, !"
Manuel is quoted rs saying.
Among English statesmen the belief
is general that Manuel has no chance
to regain his throne.
What Great Britain will do in the
matter of Portugal's colonies is now
the all-absorbing question. 1t is taken
for granted that England will attempt
to grab some OF that country's rich
colonial possessions, but that in this
she will act in conjunction with Ger
many, whose need for colonial depend
encies is even greater than her own.
Portugal's colonies include the Cape
Verde Islands, Portuguese Guinea,
Princes and St. Thomas Islands, An
COLA, Portuguese east Africa, Goa,
Damao, Diu (the last three in Asia),
Timor and other islands in the Indian
archipelago and Macao and one or two
other small possessions in China.
Angola, in west Africa, is the largest
of these, with an area Of 1876, 900 square
miles.
The royal family of Portugal has for
years been piling up investments in
England and France until now it has
many millions at its disposal. 1t is
thought likely that Manual will spend
the rest of his days in France, for which
country particularly Paris, he has always
had strong attachment.
Gibraltar, Oct. 7. King Manuel de-
clared today that he would remain in
Gibralter until the situation in Portugal
takes more definite shape. He would
not disclose his future plans. Despite
the loss of his throne, Manuel appeared
in cheerful mood.
After being the guests for a part OF
the day of Governor Archibald Hunter,
the royal family returned to the yacht
Arnelie. Manuel was greatly pleased
when the United States cruiser Des
Moines, which is under orders to pro-
coed to Oporto, fired royal salute in
his honor. The Des Moines and the
British warships flew the royal Portu-
guese flag at their mainmasts.
London, Oct. IA violent rupture
has broken out in the Portuguese royal
family, according to dispatch from
Gibraltar. On one side are Manuel and
his mother, and on the other the duke
of Oporto, the kings uncle, and his
mother, the Dowager Queen Maria Pia.
The duke OF Oporto blames the queen
mother for the loss OF Manuel's throne,
declaring that it was her fatal influence
over the youthful king that prevented
him, the duke, from rendering advice
that would have prevented the revolu-
ton.
The dispatch says that Manuel is
obviously glad that his troubled reign
is at last over, but that Amelle is
furious and unrelenting. She declares
that the royal family will yet return to
Portugal and lead a successful rcvolu-
ton for the restoration of her son.
Berlin, Oct. THE war against the
power of the Catholic Church in Portu-
gal has already been begun by the new
republic, according to Lisbon dis
patch in the Merger Post. The gov
eminent, it says, has ordered the sup
preston of all monasteries and con-
vents, all monks and nuns must leave
Portugal within "a hours and all priests
must abandon clerical dress for ordi-
nary attire when appearing in public.
Rome, Oct. IA rupture OF diplo-
matte relations between Portugal and
the Vatican is believed here to be in
evitable should the new Portuguese
republic continue in power.
Washington, Oct. Unusual
quiet" in the city of Lisbon was re-
ported to the State Department by
Henry T. Gage, United States Minister
to Portugal, who telegraphed from that
city under date of October 5, 8 p. m.
Minister Gage states that the royalist
cabinet officials have surrendered their
