A revolution has broken out in Portugal. A simultaneous signal was given in all towns and seaports. All communications are suspended. Troops and artillery are fully occupied at Lisbon.

News of the Portuguese revolution has arrived from Spain. Communications with Lisbon have been impossible since Friday. The Portuguese Legation professes to ignore the report, but refugees entering Spain at many frontier posts make it clear that a grave upheaval is in progress. A dispatch from Madrid states that when Scnhor Cunha Leal formed his Cabinet on Saturday he and. the other Ministers were immediately challenged by an armed mob of soldiers and civilians. Simultaneously the naval and shore artillery opened a terrific fire. The position is such that even Spain is censoring telegrams. —Aus.N.Z. Cable Assn.
