Lisbon, June 10.

The Minister, on the question of Portugal's possessions in India, said: Portuguese flag will not fall down in India without some thousands of Portuguese--white and natives--shedding their blood in its defence."
He added that he hoped "Portuguese sovereignty will come out intact of the convul. sions ravaging India."-Reuter.
