Lisbon, Oct. 8. Tho republic of
Portugal today formally proclaimed
an order of banishment against King
Manuel, Queen Mother Amelia, Dow
ager Queen Maria Pai and tho Duke
of Oporto. It was learned today that
tho Duke of Oporto wbb captured
whllo fighting, and that ho was es
corted to tho seacoast and placed
aboard the royal yacht Amelia, This
order against him and the fallpn kins
is most strict.
It was rqportod hofl today that
Dom Manuel 'had attempted to com
mit .suicide at Gibraltar following
the news of tho banishment, and that
ho waSjjrcventod from carrying out
hip purposo by his roothor. This re
port could .not boVconflrmed hero, but
'nevertheless It created considerable
oxcitoment.
President Brnga Insisted today
that tho reports from tho provinces
are oncouraglng to tho Republicans.
"Tho people aro still vory excit
ed," said tho now executive, "and
until normal conditions aro restored
wo will take overy precaution against
endangering our new-found liber
ties." It is reported that loading loyal
ists nnd Clericals, who havo boon
most actlvo in opposing the Repub
lic, will bo executed.
This rumor also could not be con
firmed, but thoso who aro in closo
touch with affairs say that It is un
likely, judging from the moderat'on
that so far has marked tho action of
tho revolutionary leaders. It la
feared In somo quarters that the new
government may go too far In pun
ishing its enemies.
It Is certain, however, that unde
sirable Catholics will bo expelled
and that monasteries and convents
will bo closed, and their contonta
seized. All monnstery and conven
tual lands and valuable will be pre
empted by the ropubllc. In this way
lands ivlll bo practically condemned
by the government and purchased
for afhqralnnl sum '
Many priests, accused, of sedition,
aro under arrest and awaiV trial.
It was onTclally announced today
that ofllcors of tho army and navy,
who had succeeded In establishing
tho republic, would bo promoted.
This also applies to enlisted men who
distinguished themselves In action.
