ANTI-RELIGIOUS AGITATION
NUNS AND PRIESTS EXPELLED. By Cable—Press Association—Copyright. Port Darwin, December 21. Hong Kong files contain details &f the revolution at 'Macao, a Portuguese colony, on November 20. Two groups of sailors under petty officers landed and joined the soldiers of the garrison. Several hundred armed men marched to Government House, and demanded that the Franciscan and Canoasian nuns should be expelled within twenty-four hours, also the immediate suppression of the clerical newspaper, entitled Vida Nova, which bitterly opposed the decree of the Portuguese Government. Governor Marques was perforce compelled to comply with these demands, and all nuns and priests left for Hong Kong. The news caused excitement in Hong Kong. Two British gunboats left for Macao to protect British interests. The Governor immediately resigned, and left for Lisbon. Matters are now quiet. The presence of British gunboats had a soothing effect.
