LISBON, Oct. 10. The revolutionary
leaders. having overthrOwn the mon
archy. are now confronted with the
scarcely less serious task Of putting an
end TO excuses on the part Of the rough
element OF their own followers, who.
having had a taste OF mob rule. are
prone TO continue lawIessness-
The decree OF summary banishmeDt
for the religious orders gave excuse for
brutal outrages against the clergy.
The provisional government has now
recognised the seriousness OF the situa-
ton and today the police adopted severe
measures 10 prevent the population sack
ing the religious establishment and 10
check the demonstrations against the
religionists pending their expulsion
Reports that the clericals were carry
ing on a guerilla warfare from the
windows OF their establishments in
famed the public sentiment against the
religious element. many OF whom were
chased from their churches and con-
vents.
LED BY FANATICS.
The mob which battered down the
ouelhss was led by fanatics and a gang
OF rufians. who seized occasion to de-
Ftroy everything in sight. Images and
statues were wrenchsd from the inches
In the chapel. affairs were wrecked. fur
niture was broken, and the sacredotal
vestments were carried OF by the riot
ers Later the police recovered the
greater part OF the vestments.
The district in which are located San
tos church and the French legation was
startled By the crack of rifles and at
fcnce a report was circulated that the re-
( lgionists were firing from the windows
OF the church. The crowd hocked to
the scene. but the military arrived in
time to protect the church and the Iega-
ton from possible violence.
Arrests Of disguised and fleeing reli-
gionists continued today. The discovery
OF secret subterranean tunnels at the
nlonasteries set afioat rumors that many
monks were still hiding under ground
awaiting n favorable opportunity TO
emerge and continue the fight against
the new regime. To satisfy the crowd
the military initiated subterranean ex-
plOratIons and in one instance dug a
trench to locate the suspected tunnel
MONKS SINGLED OUT.
AS was the case at the tine of the Bar
ceiOna riots. the popular feeling seemed
to be restricted to the monks and nuns
and does not manifest itself toward the
secular clergy.
With doubtful expediency the bodies
of Professor Bombarda and Admiral

AZ the city hall. The republican flag
hangs from the baskets. between which

Throughout Sunday the city was in
festival garb- Thousands came in from
the country districts and visited the
scene OF the recent fighting They
wore medals in the form Of republican
rnblsms and carried improvised repub-
lican flags.
RELEASES CARDINAL.
DR.. Costa, the minister OF justice, to-
day ordered the release OF Cardinal Jo-
seph Sebastian Netto. former patriarch
Of Lisbon. who had been seized and or
dered expelled from the country.
Costa explained that the real purpose
OF the arrest was 10 protect the cardinal.
from this outrage The minister declar-
ed that several monasteries and con-
vents belonging to Portuguese or foreign
orders were veritsble arsenals and that
the activity OF the cIericals who persist
ed IN obstinate resistance to the advent
OF the republic FASTENED the order of
expulsion. which. he added. was neces-
sary TO tranquilize the public spirit.
IL Is understood all the officers who
aided the revolution have refused offers
OF promotion. affirming that they had
only done their duty TO the nation. The
