Portugal, is the second son of the assas-

than 1S years old. having been born in
the royal palace at Lisbon on November
10. 1889.
While not in the direct line of success

brother. who was also assassinated, was
alive nevertheless Manuel received an
extremely careful and painstaking edu-

Manuel has been best known as a
yachtsman, yachting being a sport of
which he is excessively fond. He has
been a prominent figure in many of the

He was the favorite son of the dead
ruler, being much closer to King Carlos
than was the crown prince and being
often confided i'll by the King.
The new King has had something of
naval education in addition to the usual
schooling and tutoring of a prince. In
his early teens he was sent to the naval

The coachman brought his whip

As he saw his father and his brother

was himself struck on the right arm by
bullet from a carbine.
Only mounted police accompanied the
carriage as the King had refused mill

rear, and it was SO entirely unexpected
that the murderers had emptied their
carbines and revolvers almost before the
police knew what was going on snd had

panic stricken, had dropped back before
