THE UNREST-IN PURTUGAL.
The Times of the 13th ult. in a leading article says:----
THE HONGKONG DAILY PRESS, SATURDAY, JUNE 15TH, 1912.
The recent reports of our Correspon dents at Lisbon and Oporto indicate the continuance of a good deal of social and political unrest in Portugal. Ineffective Royalist raids, strikes, bomb outrages by Carbonarios, religious repression, and persecution of Royalists-all these are but symptoms of that ancient and deep- opted sickness of the body politie to which bear witness two centuries of Portu- guese history The internal conditions of the country, no less than the activities of its politicians, emphasize the fundamental not to be altered by a change in the local truth that the character of a people is
habitation and name of its fiovernment. To blame the topublic for the unrest and discontent which undoubtedly prevail in Portugal, as is already the fashion in certain quarters, is unwise and unjust. No disinterested person can seriously maintain that this long suffering people stands to gain anything, in material or moral welfare, by the restoration of that corrupt and feckless order of affairs which brought the Monarchy into disrepute. It may be true that many of those who control the affairs of the Republic are no better than the Ministers of King Carlos King Maricel and that some of the atical "bosacs' Costa's Radical following are even more of Senhor Affouso
undesirable than the riques of the old dispensation; but this is an argument which, though it points the need for fur- ther reform, entirely condeinns the method of revolution. For the permanent amelioration of the State of Portugal, it is necessary that the people at large now all politicans, should be taught to take wearily indifferent to the proceedings of
an active and intelligent interest in their own government; and it is devontly to he hoped that the efforts of all patriotic citizens and the influence of Portugal's establishment of a regime of moderation friends may be directed towards the and steady constructive work. The aggres sive and predatory Socialism which is identified with the name and predominant influence of Senhor Costa, wild experi tion of Royalists, and drastic suppression ments in legislation, vindictive persecu- of religion, have all combined to damage Portuguese, and to give rise to fears for the Republic in the eyes of many patriotic the continuance of the existing régime. A certain amount of violence, à certain degree of haste, were things to be expected as natural consequences of the Revolution.
but in the opinions of sober men like Senhor Antonio José d'Almeida, in the attitude of the army, and in the utter- ances of the Press, there are hopeful signs of a reaction against the forward policy of the militant Socialists, and especially against their toleration of lawlessness and violence.

popular even with those classes which have been frankly opposer to Clericalism, Strictly speaking, it is not a law of separation at all, for while it confiscates all Church property for secular purposes, it places all religious observances under official direction. This, in practice, means that religious worship is controlled by the local Republican Committees that is to say, by bodies consisting largely, if not exclusively, of free-thinkers. In the name Fof
Portugal's newly-found liberty, priests are forbidden to wear ecclesiastical dress in the streets or to say Mass without authorization; religious festivals, from time inmemorial associated in the minds of the peasantry, with holidays and social gatherings, have been suppressed; the barmless parish priest, generally beloved of his congregation, has come nader much the same ban as the Jesuits and other politically-suspect religious orders. These things have raised opponents, where a little tact would have won supporters, for the new régime,
THE NEW JAPANESE BATTLE CRUISER.
The Japanese battle eruiser Kongo, which was launched by Mme. Koike last month from the Naval Construction Works of Messra. Vickers (Limited) at Barrow-in-Furness, will have a displace- 704ft., a rant of 02ft., and a draught of ment of 27,500 tons, with a length of 274ft. She is one of four sister ships, the other three of which, the igri, the laruan, and the irishima, are now under construction in Japan. The Kongo is the heaviest battle cruiser yet built..

The propelling machinery of the vessel is calculated to develop about 70,000 shaft horse-power, and to drive her at a speed of at least 8 knots through four three- bladed propellers of manganese bronze, It consists of two independent sets of engines, separated by à central longi- | tudinal bulkhead, and each forming a complete unit with its own auxiliaries. Each set comprises a high-pressure and a low-pressure turbine, the former driving the outer shaft and the latter the inner one in each case, and on each shaft, aft of the ahead turbine and in the same casing, there is an astern turbine-high pressure on the outer shafts and low pressure on the inner-so that all four high-pressure turbines, both ahead and scrows can be used for reversing. The astern, are of the Parsons combined PLASMON is psed by the ROYAL FAMILY impulse and reaction type, while the low- pressure ones are of the reaction type. team is supplied to the turbines at a pressure of 205lb. per sq. inch from 38 water tube boilers of the Yarrow large- tube pattern, placed in eight separate compartments, four on each side of a longitudinal bulk-head. Arrangements are made for burning both coal and oil; the capacity for the former is 4,000 tons and for the latter 1,000 tons. The system of forced draught with closed stakeholds has been adopted, the drought being furnished by 34 fans driven by double- acting steam engines. There are three funnels and two masts.
The persecution of the Royalists, though fondly applanded by the Carbonarios, appears to be even less popular than the repression of religion. It may fairly be assumed that its most violent manifesta- tions have been due rather to panic in the Republican camp than to any fixed policy of vindictiveness in official circles, and the fact that recent Press criticisms on the subject have not led to a recurrence of Carbonario outrages points to a general and timely revulsion of feeling. With regard to the disgraceful and much criticized condition of the prisons, the Government, while practically admitting the main facts, throws the blame on the Monarchy. It is possible that financial considerations have been sufficient to delay those prison reforms which, amongst others, the Republic was pledged to carry out; but, if this be so, there was evidently all the more reason for the Government to abstain from wholesale arrest of persons against whom there was no evidence and from prolonged detention of suspects without trial. The flagrant injustice of these proceedings bas since been demon strated in the undeniable innocence of many of those who for months were con fined in foul and overcrowded dens. worthy of the Middle Ages. Per contra the Government of the Republic deserves credit for the sincere zeal it has display. ed in the cause of public education- wherein lies the only hope of relief from chronic unrest--for improvement in the are 16 sin, guns, eight on each side, terms of military service, and for 2 level, and also 16 smaller guns, together arranged in casemates on the upper deck general betterment in the frequently de plorable condition of the labouring and with a large number of submerged broad- artisan classes. The public services, with side torpedo-tubus. The armour is-un- the exception of the police, appear to be somewhat more efficiently administered than in the past. It is true that the activities of the demagogue and the de- structive Socialists have been unpleasantly conspicaous since the passing of the Monarchy, but there is ground at least for hope that these are but the froth and foam which come to the surface after strong winds of sudden change, that the common sense and patriotism of the Por- tuguese are gradually asserting them selves, and that the nation will require from its leaders a more moderate and equitable type of Republicanism. -
The main armament consists of eight 14in. guns mounted in four barhettes along the middle line of the ship, two of these being forward of the funnels and two aft of them. The bow, barbette: is on a lower level than the barbette:

An armoured deck encloses the ship from] one end to the other at the level of the top of the side armour, and there is another armoured deck at the water-live level.
