Portuguese Revolution.
AUSTRALIAN AND N.Z. CABLE ASSOCIATION. (Receiver This Day at 9.10 a.m.) LONDON. Oct. 26. The “Daily Express” Lisbon correspondent says the Monarchist cause is slowly growing in favour 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 Premier Colonel Coelho, a bearded man in the late fifties, who said it was a most admirable revolution, only four persons being killed. He emphatically denied that the assassins who killed the four Ministers wore in league with the new Government. It was a mere coiirt-i----denec that the assassins did their work on Thursday morning. The Premier added that his policy was a Republic, but if Parliament kept blocking legislation, there must ho a dictatorship. Coelho added that the Army was not Monarchist, hut ex-King Mnnocl had plenty of supporters among the rich.
