EVENTS WHICH LED UP
TO PORTUGUESE REVOLT

Paris, May i5 (5;51 y. m.) IA let
tor received by the Associated Press
from Lisbon describes the events lead
ing up to the reported revolt In Portu-
gal The letter In substance follows;
The first indication of a disturbance
began with return to the country OF
Capt. HenriQue de Paiva Coucelro, a
royalist leader and famous as a hero
In the African campaigns. His ar
rival In Lisbon caused storm amonp
republicans. Excited comment and
violent threats were heard on all
sides, eliminating in two unsuccessful
attempts On his life. He Is accom-
panied by group OF royalists and
the police are In strong force
wherever he appears.
The entire republican press accuses
Gen. Alvaro dc Castro former minis.
ter Of finance. of protecting the mon
archists, while some democratic or.
gans have been printing fiery attacks
accusing him and President de ARIA.
ga of being ''ringleaders and traitors.
Military conferences were held anc
the commanding officers OF the Lis
hon garrison asked the general staff
of the army to give General de Castro
assurance of the unconditional sup
port of the army apart from all party
politics until election on June G. The
monarchists also promised TO refrain
from all militant revolutionary at
tempts against the republic, reserving
the right Of organizing their forces
within the law by creating political
centers at Lisbon and elsewhere.
They indeed adopted the singular poll
icy OF upholding and aiding a govern

Summary of War
NeUs of Yesterday

! The matters of permanent interest
f, in the European war still remain the
approaching decision of Italy and the
answer which Germany win make to
| the United States in reply to the
American note. Ambassador Gerard
i has presented the note to the German
/ foreign minister at Berlin, ard while
a reply is not expected for several
days, IL Is reported in Washington
that there is confidence among high
officials that passenger vessels will
not be subjected to submarine attacks
/ in the interim.
! Premier Salandra, whose resigna-
/ tion with his entire cabinet several
| days ago caused a great outburst in
| Italy, has, according to the latest ad-
vices, returned to power. King Victor
Emmanuel had previously asked him
to Withdraw his resignation for the
good of the country" but, finding the
| former premier obdurate for the time
being, attempted to have other states
men reconstruct the ministry This
falling Signor Salandra consented
again to take up the duties of his Of
flee
1t is probable therefore that the
ministry which Is to be formed with
liiC dii vi Nllt VI tue SllOitEtl
parties, will not be long in taking a
decisive stand. The cry of the people
has been for war, and the Salandra
cabinet was opposed by ex-Premier
Giolitt and others who favored peace.
In Portugal serious rising has oc-
Cured in which the navy shelled
Lisbon. In the Portuguese capital the
army remained loyal to the govern
ment and a late wireless dispatch
from Lisbon says the insurrection has
been crushed.
The revolutionsts, in making pub
lie their attitude, said they desired TO
rid the country of dictatorial gov
ernment and to establish in the pregi-
dency the ex-premier, Alfonso Costa
One report had II that Costa had been
assassnated. but this was not con-
firmed Another report says that
President Manuel de Arriaga had dis
appeared from Lisbon
The fighting IN Belgium and France
continues without let-up. The French
war office claims to have checked the
Germans north of Ypres, to have TAX
en- several trenches near Het Sas and
to have occupied part Of Steenstraete,
with additional progress north Of Ar
ras and to the northeast of Notre
Dame de Lorette.
The German statement asserts that
the allied attack near Steenstraete
has been repulsed and fixes the mum
Der of prisoners taken by the Ger
mans in the section between st. Julien
and Ypres since April 22 at more
than 5000 men.
In the eastern war zone the most
interesting struggle is going on near
Przemvsl. the great fortress in CALI
ella, which the Russians captured on
March %, after many months Of in
vestment. The Tenth army corps OF
the Austro-,I Hungarian army is now in
front of this fortress and all efforts
are to be put forth to retrieve the de-
feat of its former defenders
The advance Of strong Russian
forces near Shawl has been brought
TO a standstill, according to the Ber-
lin official statement. The Teutonic
allies still are pursuing the Russians
in the region south of the Pilica river
as far as the Vistula.
