The establishment of a Uepubi.:

For a city that has just passed thco'
the throes of a bloody revolution
and sustained a bombardment, Lisbon
is now in cloudless sunshine .and
wears a remarkably amiliut; aspect.
The Republican flag flutters on
nearly every building and front every
vehicle; the streets are 'hronged
with proutenaders, shops and otiicea

generally has been resumed. Tlie
only evidence of the recent perturbation
are small bodies of troopa
stationed iu the priucipal open
spaces of tb?? city and the passage
now and then of Red Cross ambulance*.
The noticeable outward signs of
the new regime are. the presence
everywhere of the green and red flag
of the Republic and the contpl?'.?

The presence of damp black made
the work of rescuers extremely ha/.irdous.
Time and again Sunday the

the work of rescue decided
that none should enter the

a'clock and was mounted upon an
electric motor car and gradually carried
forward into the new slop-,
working as ti went, driving the gas
ahead and as was hoped, to an air
nhaft thousands of feet inside the
mine where it might escape.
The greatest caution jvosslble w is
exercised that the motor carrying the
fan should not be advanced too rapidly.
and a sudden rush of ga.-.. or
kick back, overwhelm the men operating
the machine and snuff out their
lives.
A touching fe.ature of the tscue
work was the self-sacrifice and demotion
