[Press Association—Copyright.J (Received Nov 28, 0.5 a.m.)

Lisbon, Nov 27. The authorities ordered the expulsion of two Chinese women, so-called eye doctors, owing to hundreds of blind patients sleeping in the streets about the- women's hotel. A huge crowd protested to the authorities, who ordered the police to kidnap the women. A riot followed, and the Republican Guards were stoned, shots being exchanged. A bomb exploded, and the troops charged with drawn swords. The horses trod down many scores, 1 who were taken to the hospital. The rioters invaded the San Jose Hospital and endeavoured to prevent the doctors attending to the wounded.
