near the Portuguese frontier, the fol-
lowing statement concerning the re-
volt:
THE rebellion broke out at Lisbon
aboard the cruiser Adamstorm,
which, at $50 o'clock, bombarded the
city. A band of two hundred civil
ians stormed the Alcantara barracks.
They entered the barracks cheering
the republic. Many were killed and
wounded.
THE whole Republican guard re-
mains loyal to the government and
has occupied the streets, squares and
strategic points, scattering the
crowds. Several bombs have been
exploded.
1.-The battleship Visco DaGama has
left Lisbon on secret government
mission.
"All railway and telegraphic COM
munication around the capital has
been interrupted. The Elba garrison
remains faithful and has sent troops
to Lisbon. At Santarem an artillery
regiment bombarded the Twenty
fourth infantry, whose losses are un-
known. Civilians set fire to a Brit
ish cork factory at Portalegre. There
has also been an outbreak at Oporto,
where several people were wounded -
A Reuter- dispatch from Lisbon
says that the revolutionary committee
has issued a proclamation stating
that the object of the movement IS to
restore a real republic. They desire
a national government and, therefore,
will hoist no party flag. They coun-
sci the people not to indulge In re-
prisaIs, but to trust the national gov
ernment, which will act vigorously,
but generously, towards the van
quished." -.
Havas Madrid correspondent says
that Ell Mundo published the follow
ing regarding the Portuguese revolt
Saturday:
THE signal for the outbreak In
Lisbon was given by three shots hred
in the street, to which the cruisers
anchored in the port responded.
Toward the end Of the afternoon
the whole city was in tuDlult, shots
being fired everywhere. The wound
ed filed the arsenal. During the
fusilade cries of Down With Dlcta-
tom were heard. Marines of all the
vessels joined the movement, which
was accentuated on the arrival OF the
officers of the vessels. All the ships
flew the flag of the republic.
The president Of Portugal, Manuel
de Arriago. disappeared Saturday and
has not been located. The Spanish
government has determined to re-
frain from intervention in any form
in Portugal, and to continue itself
to the protection, if necessary, OF the
lives and interests of Spanish subjects
In that country.
Premier Dato announced that the
Spanish battleship Espana would ar
rive at Lisbon to protect Spaniards
and other foreigners. He added that
It was probable another warship also
