Many Changes in Cabinet.
Lisbon, Feb 5.-Changes in the new
Portuguese ministry followed each
other in such rapid succession Tues
day that it has been difficult to keep
track of them or know what the final
composition of the cabinet will be.
The ministry that was gathered to-
gether by Admiral Ferreira do Amaral
was superseded by another early Tues
day morning, in which three of the
ministers Of Monday were retained,
and this cabinet was officially gazetted
A few hours later third ministry
was announced, and this last cabinet
is declared to be final These con.
slant changes arise from the difficulty
of selecting and arranging a ministry
that shall suit the many clashing fac
tional interests and insure the undi-
Tided allegiance of its members to
united efforts for improvement of the
disturbed conditions. Admiral Fer
reira do Amaral is premier in the
third and presumably the final cabinet.
The progressist-dissentists voted
Tuesday to support the new govern
ment on condition that all political
prisoners be freed, that all exiles be
permitted to return to Portugal and
their political rights be restored. and
that all existing autocratic measures
contrary to liberty be repealed
Troops in Control.
Martial law and the suspension of
constitutional guarantees was pro-
claimed Monday, and the municipal
authorities are taking the needed
steps to prevent a recurrence of dis
orders. The palace and the public
buildings are still guarded by troops,
and the police are in strong force on
the streets. 1t has been officially de-
MED here that the revolutionary move
ment is spreading in Oporto or any
where else in Portugal.

minister to Great Britain, has left

Great Britain the belief is held in
some quarters that Great Britain had
much to do with the retirement of Pre-
mier Franco from Office; this move
on the part Of the minister is regard
ed as significant.

city.
The identity of the third dead as.
sassin has been established. He was
a Spaniard named Cordova This man

Queen Saved by Brave Soldier.
From an account given by an eye
witness it appears that the queen
owes her life to the courage of sol
der, who grappled with Buica as he
was taking careful aim at her, leaning
his carbine against the Colonnade.
The assassin fought desperately to ac-
complish his purpose. Apparently
there was no interval between the
shooting of the king and the crown
prince, during which the queen was
trying to push from the steps her hus
bands murderer and the crown prince
Suddenly Buica stepped out from be
hind the Cclonnade, a short distance
from the street, and shot the prince
He then prepared to pick off the queer
and Prince Manuel when he was frus
grated by a soldier named Valiente
whoa he wounded, the aide-de-camp
Ffouera and policeman who dis
patched the assassin with revolvers
