REBELS IN PARTUGAL RISE AGAINST RULER ROYAL FORCES CAPITULATE TO REPUBLICANS. Warships Bombard The Royal Palace. King Reported to be in Enemies' Hands. Columbia State, 5th. The dispatches last night indicate that revolution has broken out in Portugal. Lisbon is in the hands of the re publicans, the royal standard has been torn from the palace and the flag of the revolutionists raised in its place. Some reports have . it that King Manuel is a prisoner. The army and navy have added their support to transforming the monarchy into a republic and the movement which began Tuesday in the capital is likely to spread through out the country. The warships began bombarding the king's palace at 3 o'clock in the afternoon with small show of resist ance and soon the supporters of the monarchy were forced to capitulate. It is believed the killing of Prof. Bombarda, the republican deputy and anti-clerical, by an army lieutenant was the direct cause of the rising, al though ever since King Manuel as. -cended the throne there have been plots for the overthrow of the mon archy and against his life. The Republican party has been -planning for control of the govern ment, and King Manuel, according to the republicans, has disregardrd the rights of the people. As is usual under such conditions, telegraphic communication with Lis bon has practically been cut off, but wireless dispatches from vessels ly ing off Lisbon have amply confirmed that the revolution is a serious one. London, Oct. 5.-According to the Daily Mail, a revolution broke out in Lisbon yesterday (Tuesday). The dispatch adds that King Manuel is a prisoner; that street fighting has occurred; that. the warships are bom barding the palace and that all com mnunication with the capital is cut. No Libson dispatches have been re ceived in London since yesterday af ternoon, when the Eastern Telegrnph -company announced the receipt of one 'from its station at Carcavellos, 11 miles from Libson, stating that all -communication with the capital Was :interrupted. The Daily Mail prints its repoi t of the revolution without a date and it probably is based upon a wireless dis patch said to have been receivesi by the Paris Matin, reading: "A revolution has broken ott ini I Lisbon and warships are now bom barding the capital.,. The army and navy are supporting the revolution aries." None of the other London morning newspaper print Libson dispatches or have any mention of a revolution A Portuguese merchant in London says that he received news of a p1l>t in Libson on Monday. RRINGING PLAGUE TO THIS COUNTRT? Three Possible "Cholera Carriers" IDe tained in New York-Several Suspected Cases. New York, Oct. 4.-The steamship ~Sant' Anna from French and Italian ports, now detained at quarantine, had a case of cholera aboard. The victim, a man in the steerage, died September 15, and was buried at sea. Two other cases of intestinal trouble are under observation. Mean while the Sant' Anna, carrying 221~ first class cabin passengers, some of' them prominent Americans, and 1.072 in' the steerage, is held as a possible "chelera carrier" pending further in Announcement of the foregoing was made tonight by Dr. A. H. Doty, health -officer of tbe port, who has been fight ing to keep cholera out of this country during the epidemic abroad. In ad dition to the Sant' Anna, he has as -a precaution detained at quarantine the steamship Moltke, from Genoa and Naples, and the steamship Virginia. from Naples. Tomorrow he will hold a conference with Dr. Walter Wy -man, surgeon general of the marine hospital corps. Together they will map out a campaign of protection. Another Case. Dr. Doty's statement discloses not only that a cholera patient died aboard the Sant' Anna, but that a. steerage passenger, a suspicious case removed from the steamship Ger mania on September 26, subsequently died on Swinburn Island. Examina tion indicated, says Dr. Doty, that this also was ceholera. Dr'. Doty's statement was issued after an examination of the Sant' h. Anna. which arrived late last night The ship's surgeons presented a re port of the death in the steerage caused by intestinal trouble. Tha victim died within three days. Dr. Doty, commenting on the case, says: "The history of the case indicates very clearly that the man died of cholera. No other cases have devel oped on the voyage, but there are two cases of intestinal trouble among the steerage passengers at present. Cul tures have been taken in these cases and the bacteriological examination thus far shows no evidence of chol era. The final result will be ready tom. riow morning. Precautions Taken. "The inspection and the examina tion of the Sant' Anna shows that everything has been done on ship board to prevent the spread of the disease. "The Moltke, which arrived last night from Genoa and Naples, has on board one suspicious case, a steerage passenger, but no action will be taken with the vessel until the result of th3 bacteriological examination is known. The Sant' Anna is regarded as a pos sible 'cholera carrier' and in any event passengers who have been exposed to the patients will be transferred to Hoffman Island. "On September 26 the steamer Ger mania arrived from Marseilles and Naples. On board the steamer I found an unusually good medical re port. The affidavit of the master and surgeon showed no death in transit. no cases of infectious diseases and no suspicious cases; in fact, there were no cases of any nature in the ship's hospitals, and a special report by the surgeon showed that there were no intestinal troubles. But for the past three or four months as an extreme precaution I have had re moved from all steamers from Medi terraneail ports all steerage passeng ers who have applied for treatment during the voyage in oredr that ob scure or irregular cases of cholera may be detected. - ' Died Later. "Six of the passengers of the Ger mania, who were reported on the sur geon's journal as having applied for treatment for minor sickness were re ported well on arrival, but were sent to Swinburn Island. Two days later one of the group, Maosin Scobin, aged 28 years, a Greek, was given treatment. Twenty-four hours later the patient was in a condition of col lapse and died in 12 hours. "Although the autopsy showed no evidence of cholera, the examination of secretions of the intestinal tract showed the presence of suspicious or ganism. Specimens were sent to Dr. W..H. Park of the health department of this city, and to Dr. Anderson, the bacteriologist of the United States marine hospital service. The results were presented to me yesterday and indicated that the patient died of cholera. Must be More Careful. "This is a practical demonstrati n of what is known as a 'cholera car rier;' that is, persons who may carry organisms of the disease without any symptoms to indicate its presence. In this case, it was determined that the extreme precautions were fully jus tified. As the Germania case gave practical proof of cholera carriers, it indicates that in the future additional measures must be put in force."~ The death of the steerage passen ger from the Germania did not be come known until tonight. The Moltke, a Hamburg-American liner, has 391 cabin passengers and 988 in the steerage. Those in the steerage who were exposed to danger on the Sant' Anna will be sent to. Swinburn Island and similar precau tions will be taken in the cases of sus picious illness on the Moltke. Those not exposed will probably be allowed to land tomorrow. COTTON CROP DETERIOATED.
