King Carlos Of Portugal and the
Crown Prince LUZ Philippe were shot
to death in Lisbon Saturday, as they
sat in the royal carriage, by a band
Of revolutionists. His majesty, accom-
panied by Queen Amelia, Crown Prince
LUZ and Prince Manuel, were return
ing from the Villa Vicosa, where they
had been temporarily residing, when n
company of men leaped from behind a
barrier. and, levling carbines at the
royal fanny, fired. The move was so
sudden that none of the kings guards
could prevent the assassination. Imme-
diately after the regicides had fired,
however, the police returned with Il
vOlley and killed three of them.
The royal family was driving in an
open carriage Indifferent, it would APP
pear, to the secret intrigues which have
been fomenting against the throne. The
carriage vas being driven along at a
moderate pace when. just as the We
hicle rounded a bend, the armed muir
derers sprang up. They leaped with q
savage yell toward King Carlos, and
when within a few yards lifted their
rifles.
Bullets from several pieces pierced
the body of his majesty and of Crown
Prince Luiz, and they fell from their
seats. Prince Manuel, the younger son,
was given a flesh wound, but Queen
Amelia escaped without a hurt. The
queen seemed to understand the danger
of tie sitSatiOn more than her con
sort or children. As the assassins
raised their guns her majesty stood
up and e~ndeavored with motherly intu-
ition to shield the crown prince. Queen
Amelia was too late. The young man.
who was an easy target for the assass-
ins. plunged forward and fell on his
face in the bottom of tie coach.

PANAMA CANAL COST
CAN'T Be ESTIMATED
Amount First Considered Necessary
Has Been Increased and May
Need Stretching Again.
IT'S ONLY A ROUGH GUESS NOW.
Colonel Goethals Expects to Make
Forecast Next Year-Unknown
Difficulties May Be Met.
Washington correspondence


The wonder is growing among Sena-
tors and Representatives on what ba-
sis the original estimators fixed the
probable cost of the Panama Canal.
There is a halfway suspicion that the
first estimators didn't know their bust
ness or were afraid to give out a truth
hat they thought might be appalling.
With the characteristic b~luntness of a
soldier Colonel George w. Cocktails
has said that he can only guess at the
total cost of the canal, but that he be-
lieves it will not exceed $780, DOC. goo.
excluding the original purchase price.
rs another has put it, "the estimat-
ed cost of the Panama Canal keeps
pace in the ascending scale with the
cost of living. Every year the price
the United States will have to pay for
the water way is marked up" First
estimates put it as low as $4,000. 900.
Then came what was called an authen-
tic estimate to the effect that the coun-
try would have to eXpend $1S4, 600. 900
before the canal could be completed.
Colonel Cocktails guess is $780, 900.
and he is frank to say that the limit
may have to be raised at least once
again.
Has Appropriated Eighty Millions.
Up to the present about $50, 900
has been appropriated by Congress for
the canal work. July /, 1907, $31, OOO,-
600 of the sum remained u~nexpended.
When Colonel Goethals succeeded Mr..
Stevens last March as engineer in
charge he found that circumstances
warranted an increase of the working
force and an enlargement of the plan
of the work. 1t was in August that
the soldier-engineer told the Secretary
of War that if the work was to be
pushed at the rate at which it has been
pushed since the army took charge the
appropriation which had been made
for the year ending June 30, 1908,
would be used up by the first Of the
calendar year.
