leaders, headed by teneTaI oou@" Diaz, are back of the present revolu- tionary movement in Portugal against tht dictatorship established by General Carmona last May.
 These leaders prepared for the re- volt over a period of months. Propa- eanda was assiduously disseminated among all the garrisons throughout the country to bring about the move- ment. The avowed purpose of which is to restore the parliamentary ad- ministration and permit the pollu- cal parties to resume their functions The revolutionary proclamation was signed by Souza Diaz and Comman- der Yame De Nores. former governor of Angola.
 President Carmona and the mem- bers of his cabinet visited Oporto the last week in January, and the revo- lutionaries planned to act on that occasion by seizing the president and his ministers and forcing their res- ignation.
 They were unable to carry out this plan, as there was not sufficient tune to inform certain elements upon which they had counted. Therefore, they decided to effect the coup at 4 a. m. on February 1, as two of the ministers still remained in Oporto' and this plan was carried out. The revolutionaries occupied tho military headquarters in Oporto, the bridges across the River Douro ana the post and telegraph offices, and attacked the officers mess building where the minister of commerce and other officers were sleeping.
 The minister of commerce and the Marquis Ficalho, captain Of the Oporto artillery, escaped through back window. The marquis joined ms loyal regiment in the Oporto artll- lery barracks, and thence was oroer- ed to Coimbra to organize column to march on Oporto.
 The revolutionaries, led by souza Diaz and other officers. all of whom are affiliated with political parties, served an ultimatum upon the gov ernment demanding it's resignation and reesta blishment of a parliament ,ary administration.
 The minister of war Immediately left Lisbon for the north and estao- lished Headquarters at A'eiro' whence he ordered an encircllhe movement on Oporto. Troops from the first, second and third divlslohs of the north were mobilized.
 Popular manifestations favorabie to the government were made at Aveiro and other places through which the government troops passed on their way to Oporto. led by Gen eral Craveiro Lopes, whom the min ister of war appointed commander in-chief.
 Meanwhile the streets of Oporto wore guarded and patrolled chlety hv armed civilians, supporters or the revolution. Part of the garrisons al Enguero Da Fog and Lamego also ,ttempted to join the revolt, but were arrested by government troops
 The revolutionaries dug trenches in the central square of Oporto' which they defended. The employees of the State Northern railway pro claimed . revolutionary strike in support of the revolt.

REPORTS WRONG;
 REVOLT NOT OVER
Fighting Continues in Portugal
 Backed by Gen. Diaz

London, Feb. 2 RADespite off cial announcement in Lisbon of the surrender Of the forces at Oporto which revolted against the regime of President Carmona last Thursday. dispatches received early this after noon indicated that fighting had been resumed.
 The delay in transmission and the fragmentary character of the dis patches indicated that a rigid cen- sorship was being exercised by the Portuguese authorities.
 The official communique telling of the surrender said 1t took place at 2 o'clock last night, and that 8 column of loyal troops was pursuing several fleeing rebel leaders.
 A Reuter- message later said the bombardment of the city had been resumed with intensity at 10:30 a. in., and that there were number of killed among the casualties. Ow- ing to censorship delays 1t was not clear whether this referred to the fighting yesterday or was filed after the official notification of surrender.
 Subsequent dispatches through Havas, tho semi official French news agency in Paris. quoted the Portu- guese war minister as saying that the rebels had refused to accept the conditions imposed and that the bombardment had been reopened.
 Firing began only after issuance of . proclamation requesting the civil population of Oporto to leave the city.
 These dispatches added that rein forcements were being rushed to Oporto, where 1t was reported the bombardment had caused a number of fires which were spreading. It was also asserted that restlessness was in- creasing in Lisbon.
