REVOLT IN PORTUGAL.
MONARCHIST TENDENCIES. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. London, Oct. 26. The Lisbon correspondent of the Daily Express says: “The Monarchist cause is slowly growing in favor with the people. Thus far only a few Royalists have crossed the frontier. The situation is calm at the moment, but I am informed that anything may happen in the near future.” The correspondent interviewed the Premier, Colonel Coelho, a white-haired, barded man in the late fifties, who said:
“It was a most admirable revolution; only four persons were killed.” He emphatically denied that the assassins who killed the four Ministers were in league with the new Government. It was a mere coincidence that the assassins di J their work on Thursday morning. The Premier added that his policy was a Republic, but if Parliament kept blocking legislation there must be a dictatorship. Colonel Coelho added that the army was not Monarchist, but ex-King Manoel had plenty of supporters among the rich.
