LONDON, May 16-The resignation Of the
Portuguese ministry emphasized what was
said in these dispatches last Wednesday
evening of the gravity of the situation.
The essence of the Portuguese trouble
is that the people do believe in the
loyalty of the throne to ma
tional interests. They regard King
Charles as the tool of Great Britain, and
while they esteem Queen Amelia for her
amiability and charity, Of which she has
given touching evidence in taking care,
from her personal purse, of the families OF
the Operto insurgents, they count her. too,
as foreigners, with sympathies alien to
Portugal.
On the other hand the young royal couple,
not long married, and with most ample re-
sources for enjoyment of life in private sta
ton, are, it is stated on good authority, no
less than that of Comptesse De Paris,
weary of their thorny crowns.
THE LITTLE KINGDOM
is boiling hot of plots and political ferment,
and Queen Amelia is anxious to enjoy once
more the pleasures of life in England, but
she will not leave her husband, and when
they go they will go together.
The abdication of King Charles would
leave only the frail four-year-old king of
Spain as the reigning representative of
Bourbons, and Spanish accounts indicate

Gen D. Abren DeLousa, ex-premier of
Portugal, is stated to have declared that he
could not affiX his consent to the new Ane To-
Portuguese convention relating to Africa,
or recommend its adoption by the cortes,
and that in resigning he wished to give the
king an opportunity to form ministry
that could support the measure. As the
cortes will not meet until the Both, it is

Portugal will be deferred until the close of
the month.
Gen. 'DeLousa says that the evident pur-
pose of Great Britain is to deprive Portu-
gal of all that is worth holding in Africa,
and to confine her to the malarial coast,
even there retaining right of unrestricted
traffic.
STARTLING RUMoR
is in circulation that Princess Elizabeth,
granddaughter of Queen Victoria and
wife of Grand Duke Sergius of Russia,
has refused to accompany her husband to
Moscow, of which city he has been ap-
pointed governor, owing to her indignation
at the treatment of the Jews
1t has been said that the persecution was
begun so suddenly and in such a wholesale
fashion, in order that the work of eX-
pulsion might be thoroughly completed be-
fore the arrival OF Sergius and his wife,
who, it was apprehended, would not con-
sent to be parties to such barbarity.
If Princess Elizabeth has really pro-
tested, then she is the third German prin-
cess in the Russian imperial family to turn
against the barbarous methods of Russia.
AT THEIR WITS END.
Both parties in Ireland are at their wits
end for money. The evicted tenants, who
have been the basis of appeals for funds,
are disappearing like mist. Most of them
are going back to their farms and
good many to America. Rumors of deser-
lions from the Parnellites' ranks this week
are the fruits of the desperation, Anti
Parnellites feel that until Parnell is out of
the way the American treasury box is
closeS, and they are trying to hurry on his
humiliation, but he refuses to disappear
and the rumors of assertions are denied by
the alleged deSerterS
