LISBON REVOLT
City Is Under Martial Law
and Censorship Prevents
Securing of Details

London, Feb. 1l.-(P)-Lisbon is
under marshal law and censorsh ip
that precludes accurate details of
the casualties in the latest Portu-
gucse revolutions which, from all ac-
counts. have been suppressed. II
was the 23rd revolution in the II
years of the republics life.
Many persons lost their lives, a
large number were wounded and
there was a great deal of property
damage. One report places the list
Of dead, all told, at about 800 with
more than 1000 wounded.
The arrival ut Lisbon Of President
Carmona with troops from Oporto
decided matters against the rcvolu-
tionarics, whose numbers are said
not to have exceeded 5000, for the
most part civilians, among them
women and boys.
Several dispatches agree that bar
ricadcs in Lisbon were destroyed by
government artillery, while airplanes
bombed the arsenal.
Government ambulances collecting
the injured were forbidden to take
revolutionists because it was be-
lieved they would use the ambulances
to escape. The revolt started week
ago in garrison at Oporto. which
was bombarded before the insurrec-
tionists surrendered.

Mexico Needs Goods

Agricultural products of Mexico are
not exported to this country in any
large quantities. The developments
on the American side of the lower Rio
Grande Valley have resulted in pro-
duction which will eventually sup
plant imports of fruit and vegetables
from Mexico. The Mexican rubber
production, gained from the guayule
plant, is no longer acutely needed in
view of the decrease i'm the price ri
Straits and South American rubber.
Moreover gu9yule rubber is suitable
only for certain purposes, although
excellent for those The American
manufacturers of binder twine have
become accustomed TO laying in sup.
plies of SiSal from Yucatan for suf-
ttClent period to meet reQuiremenLS.

On Decreasing Level.

Trade with Mexico has been on de-
creasing level since relations between
that country and the United States
became strained over the oil ana min
ing land laws a..d the attitude of Mex
leo in other Central American coun-
tries. The main products of Mexico
are not now especially needed in this
country, whereas the products Of the
United States are acutely needed south
of the international line.
One of the chief sources of revenue
to the Mexican government is the eX-
portation OF oil from the Tampico,
Vera Cruz and Tehuantepec regions
The United States is now flooded with
oil from the United States pools and
imports from Mexico have been cut
down sharply. Not only have ship.
ments been reduced, but drilling TO
open new supplies has been largely
abandoned and new wells have not
replaced all those in which emulsion
of oil and salt water has taken place.
So great has been the drop in pro
duction that the Aigula Oil Co.
has been importing crude from Cali
fornia into Mexico to feed its Mexican
refineries.
Revenue from oil in April TO the
Mexican government totaled only
about S227,0 from export taxes

operating in Mexico have removed
