Braga
Lisbon, Oct. 6.— The capital is now
completely in the hands o f the Repub
licans, who have formed ¡a provisional
government, with Théophile Braga as
president. Ajnew national flag o f red
and green is flying over all public
buildings, including the town hall.
This afternoon a proclamation was
issued by the provisional government
to the Portuguese people, announcing
“ The people, army and navy have
succeeded in proclaiming a republic.
The Braganza dynasty,mischevious and
disturbing to social peace, has been
forever exiled from Portugal.”
King Manuel, with the Queen Moth
er Amelie and his grandmother, the
Queen Dowager Maria Pia, has taken
refuge at Mafra, 23 miles from Lis
bon.
Already the Spanish minister, in full
uniform, has called to pay his respects
to the Republican leaders.
It is impossible to estimate the num
ber o f those killed or wounded in yes
terday’ s fighting, but it is expected to
London, Oct. 5, 3:40 a. m.— Definite
news has been received here that a
revolution broke out yesterday in LiS'
bon, the capital o f Portugal. Most of
the army and navy are with the revo
lutionists, warships having bombarded
the royal palace, and report has it that
the king, Manuel II, is virtually a
prisoner there.
The royal standard
has been torn from the palace and the
flag of the revolutionists flutters in its
place.
The royal palace stands above the
river Tague in the western part o f the
city, and the attack upon it by ships of
the navy is understood to have been
simultaneous with the uprising in the
city.
The Santander correspondent of the
Reuter Telegram company confirms the
report o f the revolution and adds that
the rebelB have captiyed the palace,
taking the king prisoner.
A dispatch from Santander, Spain,
says that the German steamer Capo
Blanco, lying off Lisbon, has sent a
wireless dispatch to the effect that the
rebels have hauled down the royal
standard from the palace and hoisted a
blue and green Republican flag in its
place. This report says warships began
the bombardment o f the royal palace
as soon as the uprising in the city
began.
The Times, in its issue this morning,
does not confirm the report that the
king is a prisoner. It contains no dis
patches from its Lisbon correspondent,
but it prints the Matin’s wireless dis
patch and says it has reason to believe

TRAINMEN DISOBEY ORDER;
THIRTY-SEVEN ARE KILLED
Staunton, 111.— Thirty-seven persons
were killed and from 16 to 25 were in
jured in a collision on the Illinois Trac
tion system two miles north o f here.
At least three o f the injured will prob
ably die.
The collision was between local train
No. 14, northbound, and an excursion
train, No. 73, loaded with passengers
on their way to view the parade of
the Veiled Prophet, at St. Louis. The
accident apparently was due to the dis
regard of orders by the crew o f train
No. 14, in charge o f M. A . Leonard,
conductor, and John
Lierman, of
Staunton, motorman.
Train No. 14 had orders to pass
train No. 73 at Staunton. The latter
train was running in two sections, and
the orders given to No. 14 were ex
plicit that it wait for both sections.
The first section o f No. 73 had passed
when the crew o f No. 14 pulled out on
the main track and started north. At
Dickerson’s curve, a sharp bend two
miles from here, the two trains met.
Hills rise north and south from the
curve. Train No. 14 and the second
section of No. 78, both on the down
grade, were making 40 miles an hour
when they met at the sharpest part o f
the curve. Confronted with death, the
crews o f both trains set the brakes and
jumped for their lives. All escaped
without serious injury.
None o f the
passengers had a chance for life.
Signal Sent 5600 Miles.
New York— A new long-distance re
cord for wireless transmission is claim
ed by the Marconi Wireless Telegraph
company, which announced that the
officials were informed in a dispatch
from London that Mr. Marconi, who is
pow in the Argentine republic, has
successfully received signals directly
from Glace Bay, Nova Scotia, and
from Clifden, Ireland, at the high-
power station now almost completed in
the Argentine republic.
The distance covered is estimated at
5,600 miles.
