CHRONICLE OF THE WEEK,
T■ ♦ ------------
HE most important news of the week is the announcement of a revolution in Portugal, theproclamation of a Republic, and the flight of the Royal Family. News is slow in filtering through, and as we go to press few exact details are to hand. What is certain, however, is that a grave disturbance broke out on Monday night in Lisbon, when some troops of the garrison declared themselves Republican. Fighting took place throughout Tuesday. On Wednesday morning troops hitherto loyal went over, and a Republic has been proclaimed. The signal for the revolt was the firing of twenty-one guns about 1.30 in the morning. The streets immediately filled with people shouting “ To arms ! ” The conduct of the people before the firing of a regiment of artillery is described as heroic. Artillerymen were compelled at one time to cease firing on account of the mass of soldiers and people marching right up to the cannon mouth. One regiment split into factions, which fell upon each other. A fierce conflict ended in the victory of the Revolutionists, and the remaining loyalists then went over to the rebels. The Royal Palace was stormed. King Manoel and his mother, the Queen, are known to have escaped, but their whereabouts is variously assigned to be on board the Brazilian man-of-war Sao Paolo, at Marfa, and in France. The provisional Republican Government is reported to be constituted as follows : Señor Theophil Braga, President ; Señor Alphonso Costa, Minister of Justice ; Señor Bernardino Machado, Minister for Foreign Affairs ; Señor Bazilio Telles, Minister of Finance ; Señor Antonio Luiz Gomes, Minister of Public Works ; Colonel Barreto, Minister of W’ar ; Señor Antonio José Almeida, Minister of the Interior; Señor Amaro Azevedo Gomes, Minister of Marine; Señor Euzebio Leao, Civil Governor of Lisbon. The Republican flags have been hoisted in the city, and proclamations have been published inviting all such officers of the army and navy as have not taken part in the revolutionary movement to present themselves at headquarters. Another calls upon the people to let the moment be “ the beginning of an epoch of austere morality and immaculate justice.” Some of the troops are reported to remain loyal
