Already British warships are on the way to protect British interests at the scene of the trouble. The American zunboats Petrel and Wheeling are at enoa, within easy sail of Lisbon, if the American government decides to send them there. A _significant incident, according to the Lishon despatches, is the visit paid by Spanish minister to the repub- lican leaders after the fall of the pal- uce and after the flag of the revolu- tion was hoisted on the town hall. ALL-NIGHT ARTILLERY FIRE. Insurgents Unable to Reach the Cen- ter of the City. Lisbon. Oct 5.—The capital is now completeiy In the hands of the republi- cans, who have formed a provisional government, with Theophile Braga as president. A nmew national flag of red and green is fiying over all the public buildings, including the Town hall King Manuel, with the queen moth- er, Amelia, and his grandmother, the queen dowager, Maria Pia, has teken refuge at Mafra, twenty-three miles from Lisbon. = Alerady the Spanish minister, in full uniform, has called to pay his respects to the republican leaders. City Damaged by -Bombardment. It is fmpossible to estimate the num- ber of killed and wounded in yester- day's fighting, but it is expected to reach several hundred. The city has been considerably damaged by the bombardmerrt of the insurgent war- ehips. The bundlng‘ocmpied by th ministeries around Praca Do Commer- «lo, and the Neceasidades palace were made the particular targets of the chells from the warships, and today show the effects by broken walls and turrets. The tower of the church at- tached to the palace was demolished. No Attack on Private Property. Thus far, however, no attack has heen made upon private property, and it is reported that the banks are be- ing guarded by biuejackets. Despatohes Suppressed. No news has been received from the rovinces, for communication has rgely been cut off and despatches and messages of all kinds have been sup- ~ 3 press All Night Artillery Fire. All through the night artillery and rifie fire was incessant, and towarde @awn 1€ increased in intensity. At 11 o'clock last night insurgents, encamp- ed on the heights of Avenida Da Liber- dade, tried to force their way to the center of the city, but were driven back by the loyal troops. As the lat- ter passel the barracks of the First Artiflery they dlscovered that it was #n the hands of rebel civilians. They charged upon the civillans, and dis- lodged them, with considerable loss to the rebels. Removing the Dead and Wounded. The night firing was carrfed on in complete dirkness. the electric lights heving failed. The insurgents weres ed by the retired Admiral Carlos Re! Mheir forces were greatly augmented by deeertions from among the mon- srchists, and they succeeded eventual- 1¥_in getting comtrol of the city. The inhabitants today are parading the #trects, most of them with rifles in their hands. singing the Portuguese Marsefllaise,which has now become tho national anthem. Red Cross ambu- lances and parties, police and men from the fire brigade are patrolling the streets and removing the -dead and wounded. Republican Flag Hoisted. The revolutionists raided all build- ings which flew the old flag and tore down the emblems of the monarch The warships greeted the hoisting of the republican flag with salvos of artillery Fusblo Ieao, the republican leader. made a speech from the balcony of the Town hall, saying that he entrusted the policing of the city and the main- tenance of order to the citizens. 5 ect all public and private prop- | erty,” he exclaimed, “and the life of | all persons, whoever they may be.

Madrid, Oct. 5—The Spanish govern- ment has despatched automobiles to Portugal, and has also sent warships in an effort to learn the exact situa- tion in that country. - Fierce Engagement Took Place. The despatches received ‘here from the scene of the trouble are conflict- ing, but all agree that a fierce engage- ment too place between the revolting regiments and the royalists. The Por- tuguese government, as soon as it learned the extent of the rising, de- cided that it would be safest to have King Manuel leave the palace, As he issued forth he was greeted by the Spanish minister. The king's coun- tenance was grave. He told the minis- ter that he would retain as small a suite as possible, as he did not wish to expose his friends to danger. Bot the king and the queen mother showed calmness in thesface of the great ca- lamity to the monarchy. No Disorder at Oporto. Despatches from Oporto says that no revolutionary movement has oc- curred there. Late official advices from Lisbon, by way of the frontier, say that the greater part of the army remained faithful to the king. Communication with Lisbon from outlying districts, however, has been impossible, as the revolutionists cut all the bridges and blocked all the highways to prevent tife advance of the troops hurrying to the succor of the king. Nevertheless, the garrison at Elvas is now advanc- ing on Lisbon, and the garrison at Oporto is prepared to leave for the capital on a moment's notice. King Reported to Be on His Way to Gibraltar. Premier Canalejas said tonight that he was ignorant of the wheerabouts of King Manuel; but was certain that he was safe, and possibly on his way to Gibraltar in an Engiish warship. It is estimated that ten of the Portuguese regiments are still loyal to the mon- archy. To add to the confusion reports con- cerning King Manuel. it was said at the Portuguese legation tonight that the king was aboard a Brazilian war- ship. It is not questioned that the king succeeded in eluding the revo- lutionists, who, according to one re- port, were not anxious to have him on_their hands. Further despatches say that the fighting was confined to Lisbon and that a considerable part of the troops took no part in the trouble, their at- Word of the proclamation of a republic and the formation of a provisional govern- ment has reached here the advices saying that Bernardino Machado had been chosen as president. Madrid Uneasy but All Is Quiet. The greatest uneasiness prevails in Madrid, but all is quiet, aithough the fear was expressed in political circles that disorders may occur here tonight. The government has taken the most elaborate precautions to emsure order and it is understood that the garrison at Seville is reaoy to depart for the Portuguess frontier. The cruiser Car- los V. sailed for Lisbon tonight. AMERICAN INTERESTS SLIGHT. Matter of Naval Representation Not Raised in Washington. Washington, Oct. 5.—All through to- day the state department awaited ad- vices from American Minister Gage at Lisbon, but prersumably hecause of the interruption to the telegraph service no word came from the scene of the Portuguese revomtion, The Portu- guese legation was simil; without official advices. The prociamation of | a republic at the Portuguese capital is rf‘gal‘dfid by the state department officials as the natural sequence of the revolution and the flight of the king. What the immediate outcome of the plans of the projectors of the repub- lic will be, officials here do not eon- jecture, for it is recognized that a re- | public ‘travels a rocky road in its in- fancy. The Washington government's inter- est in the situation is largely one of information, for American interests in Portugal are slight., while British in- terests, for instance, are great. For that reason the matter of naval repre- sentation has not been officially raised S0 far and there are no- indications that Americans are imperilled. d REVOLUTIONISTS CHECKED. Report That Insurgents Are Retiring in Direction of Monsanto. Lisbon, Oct. ”5.—Ae report was cir- culated late tonight that the revolu- tionists had been checked and were retiring in the direction of Monsanto, President-elect of Brazil, Marshal Hermes Fonsecs, has delaved his de- parture and remains in Lishon, EVENTS IN LISBON AS TOLD BY SPANISH PREMIER.

Ten of these cases and all the deaths ars reported in the city of Naples. For the first e since the outbreak there have been no new cases and no deaths in Apulia. IDENTIFICATION OF TRAMPS, POLICE SHOULD KEEP LISTS In All Cities and Towns—Workhouses Advocated for This Class. ‘Washington, Oct, 5.—Russia is far behind other civilized countries of the world in the matter of decreasing the number of death sentences, according to statistics given the International Prison congress at its session today by Dr. Frederick H. Wines of Philadel- phia. “In no country does the frequency and enormous number of executions excite such horror as in Russia,” said Dr. Wines. “Nowhere else is there waged so determined and unceasing war against the employment of cap- ital punishment for the suppression of crime. This is the more worthy of remark in view of the fact that the penal code limits its apvlication to political offenders. And yet. in virtue of the system by which offenses not political can be punished by martial law, even in time of peace, the num- ber of executions is truly extraordi- nary. “In the year§ 1905-1908, 2.239 per- sons were -execuited. The number of accused who were removed from the jurisdiction of efvil to that of military gourts in a single year, was, in 105, 7,016.” The congress endorsed unanimously the recommendation of sectipn ’three that tramps should be classified and that a sysiem- of identification should be kept by the police of all cities and towns. Workhouses for this class were advocated with agriculture as the lead- ing industry. .t was advised that the period of detention be made sufficient- Iy long to insure a thorough training. A system of conditional lieration was proposed This action is of especial signifi- cance, for in the United States the farm colony plan of segregating tramps and beggars and making them work is rapidly becoming an important so- cial question. A public lecture was given tonight by T. Sanagi, one of the Japanese de egates, on the subject of the admin- isrtation of the penal institutions in Japan.

XKennedy, pastor of the Congregational church here, was fined $10 and costs, amounting in all to $20, today for ex ceading the speed limit on the sta road at Warehouse Point. Testimony showed that he was going between thirty and forty miles an hour. He paid the fine and costs. the booming of twenty-one cannon. Evervone rushed into the streets or orened windows to see what was hap- pening. The streets rapidly filled with pecple, pushing hither and thither, while the bugles sounded the ‘assem- Bly.’ “Here and there rifles cracksd and skouts and rallying cries were heard. The revolution had broken out and the twenty-one guns was the sig for the mobilization of the police. They gal- lantly threw themselves upon the in- surgents, but were received with a fusilade of small bombs. Seeing that they were powerless, the police sum- nioned the troops. but the soldiers soon | split into two bands, onz going over to the side of the revolutionists. thel other remaining faithful to discipline| and the monarchy. King Taken to Place of Safety. “A fierce engagement soon developed. Officers and soldiers dropped dead or wounded in large numbers everywhere. Artillerymen served the guns with desperate energy. The revolutionists succeeded in seizing the barracks con- tiguous to the royal palace where King | Manuel was staying. The king was in- formed of whaf had occurred and left | the huflding, accompanied by four con- | fidential attendants, who took him to a | place of safety. | | i Rival Forces Practically Equal. “The battle continuad to rage in the streets. The revolutionists had thrown up barricades and sent detachments to | hold the bridges and telegraph lines. | During the day detachments of troops from the last provisional garrisons ar- rived in Lisbon and joined the soldiers who had remained loval, so that the rival forces practically were equal.” DISCONTENT REACHES SPAIN. Regiment of Artillery. Ride Down Their Officers and Attack Barracks. Badajose, Spain, Oct. 5.—Details of the rising at Lisbon are heginning to reach here. A regiment of artillery, commanded by sergeanis, rode down their colonel and oflicers and attacked the barracks. The Sixteenth infantry regiment divided into two camps, re- publicans and monarchists, and a fierce combat ensued. in which the colonel, several officers and many soldiers were Killed. 2ot The engagement resulted in the de. feat of the monarchists, and the ren- nants of this camp joined the Fifth in- fantry and First Chasseurs and occu- pied the arsenal.
