Antonio Vieira editor of El Português of New Bedford says Portugal’s people in America oppose abolition of the monarchy. He cites 20 000 New Bedford Portuguese with perhaps 100 favoring a republic and notes grievances like clerical power taxes and red tape fed revolutionary sentiment. He warns northern Portugal may resist and predicts civil war if Oporto does not join Lisbon in backing a republic. Most Portuguese in the U S hold American ideals and show little support for the revolution.
