WARSHIPS’ GUNS SAVE LISBON FROM LAWLESS Psriar—-Lisbon, seething with an-' archy, was saved from a night of horror only by the frowning guns of the for eign fleet of warships in the harbor, according to reports from Portugal’s capital early today. With decks cleared fpr action and ready for actual war conditions, the warships and cruisers anchored off the Portuguese capital menaced the city with their great can non thru the entire night and sternly promised td scourge the fanatics and lawless element among the republi cans with a rain of shells If they threatened lives and property In the city. Earlier in the day another report had It that the/mobs had gained the upper- hand, and had fired a portion of the city. Inflamed by a taste of mob rule, the marauding ruffians of the capital city and the radicals among the revo lutionists sought to continue their dep redations. The only taste of power which the mobs had enjoyed was in the storming of monasteries and convents when the republican soldiery was un able to overcome the looters. According to another report from Lisbon, the reactionary movement had acquired such strength that foreign In tervention might be necessary. It would seem, according to these ad vices, that the government started to disarm its troops too soon. Relying too much on the theoretical side and too little on the practical, It had dis missed a large part of Its army. Louisville’s Small Gain.
