Diaz London, Feb. 7 (A—Despite offi- 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 it took place at 7 o'clock last night, and that a column ot loyal troops was pursuing several fleeing rebel leaders. A Reuter message later sald the bombardment of the city had been resumed with intensity at 10:30. a. m., and that there were a number of killed among the casualties. Ow- ing to censorship delays it was not clear whether this referred to the fighting yesterday or was filed after the official notification of surrender. Subsequent dispatches through Havas, ths 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 ot a proclamation requesting the civil population of Oporto to leave the city. These dispatches added that rein- forcements were being rushed to Oporto, where it was reported the bombardment had caused a number of fires which'were spreading. It was also asserted that restlessness was in- creasing in Lisbon. Backed by Diaz. Vigo, Spain, Feb. 7 (—Political leaders, headed by General Souza Dlaz, are back of the present revolu- tionary movement in Portugal against tht dictatorship established by General Carmona last May. These lcaders prepared for the re- volt over a period of months. Propa- ganda 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 parliamenptary ad- ministration and permit the politi- cal parties to resume their functions. The revolutionary proclamation was signed by Souza Diaz and Comman- der Yame De Norcs, 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 time to inform .certain elements upon which they had counted. Therefore, they decided to effect the coup at 4 a. m. on February 4, as two of the ministers still remained in Oporto, and this plan was carried out. The revolutionarles occupled the military headquarters in Oporto, the Dbridges across the River Douro and 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 a | back window. The marquis joined his regiment in the Oporto artil- v barracks, and thence was order- #d to Coimbra to organize a column | to march on Oporto. The revolutionaries, led by Souza Diaz and other officers, all of whom aftiliated with political partics, rved an ultimatum upon the gov- srnment demanding its resignation and reestablishment of a parliamen- tary administration. The minlster of war immediately loft, Lisbon for the north and estab- lished leadquarters at Aveiro, whence he ordered an encircling movement on Oporto. Troops from {he first, second and third divisions of the north were mobilized. Popular manifestations favorable 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- -chief. mMcanh\le the streets of Oporto were guarded and patrolled chiefly by armed civilians, supporters of the revolution. Part of the garrisons at Fnguero Da Foz and Lamego also attempted to join the revolt, but were arrested by government troops. The revolutionaries dug trenches in the central square of Oporto, which they defended. The employ: of the State Northern rallway pro- claimed & revolutionary strike in support of the revolt.

New Britain Herald CIRCULATION ) Wherever advertisers are congregated, and are talk- ing shop, the matter of circulation of the daily newspaper in their territory is the main topic of conversation. Well it might be, for the advertiser wants to know how many people will read his ad in order that he might estimate just what the proportions in his turn over in stock will be. The New Britain Herald has a circulation of over 14,000 and the circulation department is willing to prove this fact. The number of Heralds sold daily is rapidly ap- proaching the 15,000 goal which is a testimonial to its standing in the community. The Herald is doing every- thing possible to increase reader interest by printing the news of the city, state, United States, and the world, and the rapid increase in circulation is a testimonial to the fact that this endeavor is appreciated. The New Britain Herald is a member of the Audit Bureau of Circulations, a national group of trained newss paper circulation auditors whose business in life is to check.up on circulations of newspaper that belong to this organization. Advertisers all over the dountry ask first, if the paper they are thinking of placing an advertisement in is a member of the Audit Bureau of Circulations, for they know that there can be no equivocation by an A.B.C. newspaper. In short, they know what they are getting, and in the case of the New Britain Herald, they are get- ting over 14,000 printed and distributed daily.
