The Second and Fifth regiments today addressed a Round Robin to Provisional PreaF dent Braga, declaring they are pre pared for insurrection if not granted the promised promotions and pen sions for helping overthrow the mow trehy. The government will prob»- ly yield. The royalists, who have adhere* to the republic, demand the same re wards as the revolutionists proper seek to exact. The revolution iry crew of the cruiser San Rafael.which bombarded tbe royal palace during the revolutionary outbreak, have been dismissed. The crew of the Adamaster. which also fired upon the home of King Manuel, has refused to leave the vessel unless the mem bers are guaranteed »100 a month pension for life. in order to avoid disorders it is lik«ly the government will grant all these d'mends.
