    LONDON, Monday, July 28.— A rumor was current in Madrid last night that a serious uprising had occurred in Lisbon. The Daily Mail estimates that 1,600 bombs of various sizes have been found in the streets of Lisbon since the organized attempt at bomb-throwing was frustrated by the police there Sunday, July 20. The paper adds that, since the publication of a book last year, giving direction for their manufacture, all the revolutionary societies have been busy making and hiding bombs of all sizes.
