29 OCTOBER 1921, Page 2

Yet another revolution broke out in Lisbon on Wednesday, October

19th. Colonel Coelho, with the help of Republican officers, overthrew the Government and installed himself in office. The late Premier, Senhor Granjo, with Admiral Machado dos Santos and two other leading politicians, were foully mur- dered by the ruffians of Colonel Coelho's faction. The new Premier formally disavowed all responsibility for the crimes and promisod to set up an honest administration." A British cruiser was seat to afford protection to the British community. It would seem that Portugal is incapable of orderly self-govern- ment. Since the Republic was set up eleven years ago the country has been distracted by incessant revolutions.
