BIZ ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Lisbon, Sept. 3o.-The risings in
Northern Portugal which have been
suppressed for the time being at least
were brought about by adherents OF
the republic who desire a more con-
sentative form of government than
the present extreme radical one in
power, and not by Monarchists as APP
pears to be supposed outside Portu-
gal.
Great reserve is observed in official
quarters, but the indications are that
the government does not yet con-
slider the danger as past. Troops from
warships in the harbor play nightly
upon the waters surrounding vessels,
with the object, presumably, of pre-
venting attacks from insur gents who
might attempt to board them from
boats or barges. Among distinguished
Republicans arrested are Miguel de
Obren, deputy and son of 8 rev.
erend Republican leader, DR.. Eduardo
de Obren. Two Republican provin-
cial civil governors have also been
arrested and forty other persons more
obscure.
Many of the prisoners were stoned
and attacked in the streets by Carlo
narios, members of the secret polit.
ical society which upholds the pres
ent government.
