history of the rebellion of 1910 has never

the space to do SO. but in few words
can be related enough to give a good
idea OF the ridiculous situation.
Anonso Costa has been for years an
agitator against the monarchy. He was
the leader in the public agitation and the
secret Vaccinations that led up TO the
revolution that sent Manuel out of Por-
tugal and established the present repub-
lie. But All examination of the real facts
or the case does not reveal Costa and his
Ieiiow-conspirators in any heroic light.
The plotters thought they had everything
arranged in apple pie order and gave
the signal which they expected would
bring the best part of the army out in
open revolt. Instead, much TO their as
tonishment. not a single regular officer
responded and only about 200 of the . 800
troops IN Lisbon marched out of their
barracks. This forlorn contingent took
up position in the Avenida Liberadade.

Although the 900 troops barricaded in
the Avenida wanted to follow their lead

four times their number of loyal
troops. so they had no choice but to
remain and fight. Fortunately for them
and for the success of the revolutionary
movement their leaders had selected
