Portugal has been declared a re-

Portuguese Marseillaise is the new
national anthem and the emblem Of
monarchy on the palace has been re-
placed by the flag of red and green

That there was fierce fighting in
the streets of Lisbon Is evident by
dispatches from all quarters. Disor-

by the troops, many regiments Of
which are said to be still loyal to
the king.

King Manuel. the queen mother
and the queen dowager are reported
to have taken refuge in the palace at
Mafra. a short distance out Of Lis
bon. They may now be on a war
ship bound for Gibraltar At least
they are considered to have reached a
place of safety.
London advices state that by a
treaty Of alliance Great Britain is
bound to afford protection to the king
of Portugal If this is duly applied for.
The French newspapers are urging
the government Of France not to per-

France May Take Hand.
The French cabinet will meet to-
morrow to deliberate on the Portu-

of sending a warship to Lisbon.
Already British warships are on the
way 10 protect British interests at the
scene Of the trouble. The American
gunboats Petrol and Wheeling are at
Genoa within easy reach Of Lisbon If
the American government decides to
send them there. No detailed ac-
count of the fighting has yet been re-
ceived or any definite estimate of the
casualties.
A significant incident, according to
the Lisbon dispatches, is the visit paid

HE ATTACKS PROTESTANTISM.
Father Vaughn Also Decries Divorc.
And Race Suicide.

New York, Oct. 3.-Affirming that
the future of the United States de-
pends on her Catholic population
and denouncing Protestatism, Rev.
Bernard Vaughan preached yesterday
to one Of the largest crowds ever in
ST. Patrick's Cathedral. Father
Vaughan, a brother of the late Cardi-
nal Vaughan. of England is on his
first visit to the United States He
came to New York Saturday from
Chicago.
After an attack on Professionalism,
Father Vaughan said he would like
to rush down Fifth avenue and con-
vert everybody to his faith. Then he
said that New York's slums are a
paradise to those Of London, that the
only aristocracy in New York was
Gods poor" He decried divorce,
race suicide and indifference to re-
ligion.
Father Vaughan was introduced by
Mgr. Michael ]. Lavelle, pastor of the
Cathedral. Monsignor Lavelle an
nounced the order of services in con-
nection with the Cathedral consecra-
ton this week. He said Cardinal
Vannutelli wodld be the celebrant of
the children's mass Thursday, Cardi-
nal Logue Of the mass for the re-
ligious communities Friday, and that
Cardinal Logue would preach in the
Cathedral next Sunday at high mass.
The pastor asked the parish for s10,-
600 in the collection, that being its
share in liquidating the debt.
Father Vaughan said, in part "A
month ago in Canada spoke of the
fact that these churches outside the
Catholic Church were waning and
dying. And Protestant Canada rose
up to tear 10 tpieces. NOT my argu-
ment, but myself. But I read In the
morning paper that Bishop Sellew. of
Jamestown. n. Y, a Protestant bish-
op himself, says Professionalism is 60
ing to decay. He seems almost will
ling to give it respectable funeral.
/ never intended to say as much as
the Protestant bishop. / suggested,
with little hesitancy, that Protes-
tantism was on the wane. He comes
forth and says the religion he rep
resents is dying after life OF 800
years.
I'VE have to say the things that
are straight. go the way that is
straight and do the things that are
straight. l am proud Of this bishop
for striking the note of warning, for
giving the alarm bell a ring in the
vestibule, so that men hearing it may
look to their whereabouts. ."-Balri-
