isolated since yesterday from the

What Started Revolution.
Paris, Oct. 5.-King Manuel is
said to be a prisoner in the palace.
1t is generally believed that the i'm
mediate cause of the revolution was
the assassination in Lisbon of Prof
Bombards, the republican deputy and
chief of the Liberal league, by an
army lieutenant. The feeling against
the throne is so intense that this in
cident, trivial in itself was sufficient
to start the outbreak.
Portugal, following the example of
Spain, has been imbued of recent
years with a strong anti-clerical sea-
timent, and the governmental pro
gram included revision of the sta
tus of religious leaders.
Evidences of activity on the part
of those who aimed at the throne
was found frequently of late On
the Goth of SeptemIt er the police
raided a bomb factory and arrested
ten persons. This is said to have
followed the discovery of a wide
spread anti-monarchial plot. Follow
ing the discovery of the bomb facto-
ry arrests were made among medical
students and members of secret rev.
olutionary societies. The action of
the government against the clericals
also complicated the situation.
London Hears Little.
London, Oct 5.-The Portuguese le-
cation here is wothout official advices
concerning the revolution in Lisbon.
The Portuguese ambassador called at
the foreign Office early this morning
and had a long conference with Sir
Edward Grey, the foreign secretary.
The news Of the revolution has de-
pressed foreign sticks fractionally.
Proclaimed a Republic.
Paris. Oct. AN unconfrmed dis
patch this afternoon from the Span
ish border states the revolutionists
have taken over the reins of govern
ment of Portugal today, and in the
presence of the army formally declar-
ed Portugal a republic. Many are re-
ported killed during the two days
conflict, but it is impossible to esti-
mate the unmber. 1t will probably
reach a thousand.
