from the eyes Of the police until the
carriage had wheeled into the Praga
do Commerce.. a large square.
How many shots were fred no one
can say. but 10 was a veritable fusil-
lade. The effort Of the crown prince
who was sitting opposite TO the king,
10 rise was nitifui and without avail
for he just lifted himself sufficiently
10 pitch forward and fail over the pros
trate body Of his father.
Queen Amelie. uttering n scream tha.
could be heard by all who had not be-
come frenzied 10y the attack, threw her
self toward her sons. shielding their
bodies with her own. She frantically
struck at the murderers with bouquet
Of roses which she had been carrying
but even in the face OF this the men

fan Prince Manuel whipped out a re-
volver and discharged It at the men,
but was himself struck on the right
arm by a bullet from a carbine. A
footman in the carriage also was
wounded, and it was stated that bull
let grazed the queens shoulder.
The army and navy have sworn al
legiance 10 King Manuel as well as all
the garrisons and naval stations In the
kingdom. and the new king has con-
frmed the dictatorship.

Of them.
The principal reglcide killed has been
identified as Manuel Bulca. a sergeant
I'm the Seventh cavalry and teacher
in an elementary school. For eight
years he acted as a private tutor in
this city. He was about thirty years
Of age.
The two other assassins who were
killed are believed to be Portuguese
An official Of the court said:
Il do not think the murders were
lnstlgated by any political party. but
was the work Of anarchists. II was
not the king the people hated, but Pre-
mier Franco. whom they recently tried
10 assassinate.
Because OF his generous nature
King Carlos was Well liked by most Of
his subjects
The new cabinet Is made up as fol-
lows: Premier. Vice Admiral Ferreira
lie Amaral. without portfolio; minister
Of war, Matthias Nunes; justice, Jose
V. Alpolm: finance. Teixera de Souza;
foreign affairs. Wenceslau de Lima;
public works, Senior Azevedo; marine,
Antonio Cabral.
Franco resigned for fear that his
continuance in Office would plunge the
country into rebellion. The premier
has been considered directly responsi-
ble for the political turmoil which re-
suited IN the assassination Of the king
and his withdrawal from power IS re-
garded as holding a promise Of politi-
cal tranquility.
The investigation Of the police show
that the murders were carefully plan
ned. on Saturday morning the assas-
sins met secretly In the back room Of
a cafe and there laid ont every step 0f
