Three Locomotives,
Hitched Together,
Pull Submarine Out

By the Associated Press.
PORTSMOUTH, N. H., February 4.
An unusual feat of naval engi-
neering was accomplished here when
three locomotives. hitched together,
hauled the submarine S-4S from the
water to the ways of shiphouse,
where it is to be reconditioned.
The S-4S went aground two years
ago off Jeffreys Point in a blizzard,
with 80 officers and men aboard. Re-
pairs costing upward of 81 900 900 are
to be made, and will include cutting 1t
in half and lengthening it by II feet.
The submersible, resting on a
wooden cradle, required 1000 feet OF
one-inch steel cable and q large
amount of tackling apparatus to at
tach it to the engines. They drew ii
$500 feet from the water onto the
ways. The entire operation took less
than 20 minutes.

LISBON, February 4.-Unofficial
reports this morning that the revolu-
tionaries at Oporto had surrendered
to the government forces were fol-
lowed at midatternoon by an official
statement indicating that they were
still holding out and that fighting was
imminent.
The statement said the minister
of war was in the artillery barracks
at Oporto, where forces loyal to the
government were being organized pre-
paratory to attacking the rebels.
A general strike was declared this
morning on the state railways in
southern and southeastern Portugal.
The government is taking measures
to avoid paralyZation of traffic.
Army Loyal, Says CarmOna.
President Carmona is quoted as de-
claring that although civil struggles
are deplorable, the present case proves
irrefutably that the Portuguese Army
is with the dictatorship in its work of
national restoration.
The country is still under martial
law.
So far as could be learned, because
OF the censorship on dispatches reach
ing the capital from various parts of
the country, order had not been dis
turbed. The Lisbon authorities insist
ed that the revolt was confined to a
part of the Oporto garrison, and while
they did not look for serious conse
quences. they declared that martial
law would be strictly enforced.
