NAVY OF PORTUGAL IS LOYAL

Warships Bombard Oporto in Battle Against the Royalists. Madrid, Jan. 24.—Portuguese warships are bombarding Oporto, according to frontier dispatches. The navy is said to remain loyal to the republic, while- the hulk of the army has gone over to the insurgents. Strong rumors circulated here are to the effect that Don Manuel is about to land here with a view to proceeding to Portugal across the frontier, the Portuguese naval cordon preventing him from disembarking at a Portuguese port. The Spanish government is in receipt of a message from the Portuguese Republicans saying they hoped to quell the revolt in short order.
