. LISBON, 9th June. Twenty-nine air officers who refused to obey a decree of the War Minister appointing a new commandant of the aerodrome at Arniadora,- have been arrested. The airmen, who are all youths of good family,- entrenched themselves in the aerodrome, which was surrounded by 4000 cavalry.. One rebel then surrendered. There are rumours of disaffection in the army, and the opinion is expressed that the great display of force to suppress this movement was made in order to show that the Government controls the situation.
