THE ACTION OF PORTUGAL
Exequator to Dutch Consul at Lorenzo
Marquee Withdrawn.
KING C tARLEs TOAST TO QUEENWCTORlA
Its Warmth May Have Intensified the Tension
Between the Two Countries. A Belief
Obtains That Great Britain is
Backing Portugal.
(By he Associated Press

Lisbon, Dec. THE Minister of the
Netherlands to Portugal and the Portu-
guese Minister at The Hague, have left
their respective posts. 1t is believed
that difference has arisen on the sub
ject of the execuatur to the Dutch con-
sui at Lorenzo Marques. which the Por-
tuguese Government has withdrawn.
The tension between Portugal and Hol-
land appears to have been emphasized
perhaps not altogether unintentionally,
by the peculiar warmth of King Charles
toast to Queen Victoria at the banquet
given yesterday evening at the Royal
Palace to Vice Admiral Sir Henry Holds
worth Rawson and the officers of the
British fleet now in the River Tagus, and
by the telegram which the King after
wards dispatched to Victoria, thanking
Her Majesty for sending the fleet and
for the friendship thus demonstrated.
81 beg to record" telegraphed the King
my great satisfaction at the frank and
Loyal alliance uniting England and Por-
tugal.'
In the course of his speech. when he
toasted Queen Victoria, the King said
among other things:
England has often shared the efforts
and glories of Portugal. Our mutual
friendship and close alliance are strength
ened by history and the blood shed to-
gether in causes which have always been
Just"
Admiral Rawson replied that the words
of the King harmonized with the thoughts
of the Government and the people of
Great Britain.
Observers think that the speech and
telegram constitute an intimation to the
world that Portugal can count on strong
support if necessary.
DUE TO BRITISH INTRIGUE.
Madrid, Dec THE impartial says it
considers the rupture of relations be-
tween Holland and Portugal to be very
serious. 1t adds that it was due to the
intrigues of Great Britain, further as
serting that Portugal is now under the
tutelage of Lord Salisbury.

Don't Worry About Nevada.

The Post-Intelligencer, of Seattle,
calls attention to the dwindling popu-
lation Of Nevada, and thinks 1t is liable
to still further decrease in the coming
decade. 1t is much mistaken. Ne
vada's population is liable to greatly in
crease in the next few years. A great
mineral belt runs across Nevada, which
is so far from railroad facilities that 1t
has not yet been much explored. Cheap
and quick communication with it will
soon be made, and then we shall see
an activity there which has not been
seen since the Comstock went into
eclipse. Nevada is n OF the great
mineral States Of the Union, as will
soon be demonstrated. Meanwhile,
