Indications of Revolt.

Indications of a serious revolutionary
movement against the present repuh-
lican government Of Portugal have not
been lacking. On the contrary. reports
from this country for six months past
have almost all referred to political
disorders.
There has been serious dissatisfaction
with the administration of affairs and
the government has been freely charac-
terized as drastic and arbitrary TO an
impossible degree: the president and
his advisers have been called outlawsI
political assassinations have not been
unknown; there have been bread riots
at Lisbon, followed by the proclamas
tion of martial law throughout the res
public; there has been much plotting
on the part of the monarchists and the
arrest and Incarceration of numerous
anarchist leaders; the army and navy
have been suspected in allegiance and
officers of each branch have been ar.
rested; there has been established tho
SO o-called Republic of Northern Por-
tugal under the presidency Of Gem
Barreto and there have been labor diss
orders of a serious nature.
Situation Grows Worse.
This is the nature of the news that
has come from Portugal in spite of the
very strict censorship maintained by
the Portuguese authorities. Month by
month the situation in Portugal ap-
pears to have grown worse. The life
of the republic of Portugal since it's
establishment five years ago after the
assassination of King Carlos has been
marked by political dissensions aud
strife. There have been frequent re-
ports of royalist agitations from Lis
bon. but since the beginning of the
European war the activities Of another
movement, the democratic or radical.
have been even more threatening to the
existing government.

from Constantinople to the Gallipoli
peninsula by the Turkish authorities
have been brought back to the capital
through the efforts Of United States
Ambassador Morganthau. according to
Reuter- dispatch from Athens.
The deportation of British and French
citizens to the scene Of violent fighting
in the Dardanelles region was decreed
by Turkey on the ground that shell
fire from the allied feet was killing.
wounding or endangering Turkish nom
combatants. whose homes are on the
peninsula.
Asked to File Protest.
AS soon as the order was issued Mr..
Morganthau was requested by the Brit
ish and French governments to nle q
vigorous protest IN their behalf. In
spite of this action on his part, how
ever, the nationals of these two coun-
tries were placed aboard . ship and
started for Gallipoli. His later protests
evidently have been more successful.
