 Al first he taught English in a pri- vate school at Lisbon while still al- lowing bis name to appear on the army lists. After some months observation of political development in Lisbon he became convinced that the country was drifting .toward 8 precipice, that the insubordination in the army and In all departments of state would quickly lead to chaos, from which Port ugal would only emerge without any of her o1ersea possessions. from which she might never emerge as an inde- pendent nation He therefore proposed to the government that it should re- sign in favor of another provisional government of imperial character, but military in its nature. This second gov ernment was to take a national plebls- cite as to the form of regime which the country wanted. Whatever the result of that referendum might be, Couceiro promised to approve of 1t, and to serve the government which the people chose.
 That Ceucetro should have seriously presented such proposition to Pres ident Braga shows how lofty and at the same time naive was his character. The provisional government refused of course to abdicate. whereupon Cou- seiro declared that henceforth he would devote his life to ejecting that govern. nent by force. that he would go abroad and spend all his time plotting the overthrow of President Braga, Alfonso Costa & Co. He would, however, re- main in Lisbon 24 hours so as to give the republicans an opportunity to ar rest him.

 Santiago de Compostela was the last place from which Conceiro was dis lodged. The Portuguese authorities had considered it too near the iron tier. But the Spanish government has nov allowed the captain to establish his headquarters at Orense. which is situated on the Minho only 70 miles rom Portugal Santiago Is nearly 120), and it will probably be somewhere be- tween Orense and Tuy that the iron tier river will be eventually crossed.
 PaiYa de Couceiro has issued two or three proclamations which have been distributed everywhere throughout Portugal In these he points out that be does not care whether Portu- gal is a republic or a monarchy. He wants it to let him know which form of government 1t wishes. At the pres ent moment 1t is unable to make it's wishes known. aii sntl-republican news papers and organizations having been suppressed and all conservative propa- gandA having been prevented the cleo ton Most of Couceiros supporters are, however, Nanuelists
 In another proclamation Couceiro makes the very singular statement that Spain is anxious to intervene in Portugal and that Germany Is strong ly encouraging her to do so in the hope that some of the Portuguese col onies may fall to the Fatherland-
