ARRIAGA, MANOEL JOSE D' Portu guese politician, was born in Horta, in the Azores, July 8 1839. Educated at the University of Coimbra, he was graduated in law in 1866. Arriaga early showed signs of his Republican sympathies, with the result that his father, an ardent royalist, disinherited him ; and as a student he was obliged to support himself by coach ing his juniors. He had a distinguished scholastic career, among his appointments being the rectorship of the University of Coimbra and a professorship at the Lyceum in Lisbon. His political career opened in 1882, when he was elected Republican deputy for Funchal. From to 1892 he represented Lisbon. During the revolution of 1910 (see PORTUGAL) he was a prominent figure on the Republican side; and on Aug. 24 1911, he was elected first constitutional president of the Portuguese Republic. The royalist risings of 1911 and 1912 taxed his strength; and in 1915, feeling no longer able to cope with the difficulties of the situation particularly in face of the coup d'etat of May 14, he resigned May 27. He died March 5 1917. His full name was Manoel Jose d'Arriaga Brun da Silveira e Peyrelongue.
