| How many shots were fired no one
could say, but it was a veritable fusil-
lade coming from the right side Of the
street. The effort of the Crown Prince.
who was sitting opposite the King, to
rise was pitiful and without avail, for
he just lifted himself sufficiently to
pitch forward and fall over the pros
trate body Of his father. Queen Amelie,
uttering a scream that could be heard
by all who had not become frenzied by
the attack. threw herself toward her
sons, shielding their bodies with her
own. She franticaily struck at the
, murderers with a bouquet of roses
which she had been carrying, but even
In the face of this the men fired again
and again. AS he saw his father and
his brother fall, Prince Manuel whipped
out revolver and discharged it at the
men, but was himself struck on the
right arm by bullet from carbine.
A footman in the curriage also was
wounded. and it was stated that bull
let grazed the Queens shoulder, but did
not do her harm.
The Attack Came From the Rear
Only mounted police accompanied the
carriage, as the King had refused mill
tary escort. The attack came from the
rear. for it was found afterward that
the King had been shot in the back of
the neck, it was SO entirely unexpected
that the murderers bad emptied their
| carbines and revolvers almost before the
police knew what was going on, and
had turned to flee into the crowds that,
now panic-stricken, had dropped back
before their weapons. Then the guard
charged upon them, pursuing them
down the street and riddling three Of
them with bullets. Hundreds of people
joined in the persuit, and the others of
the band of assassins were made prison
ers.
| The royal carriage had by this time
been driven into the quadrangle. and
the gates of the arsenal were shut. The
grief of Queen Amelie and Prince Man.
uel was heart-breaking. Within few
minutes the Queens mother, the Dow

Oporto. the Kings brother, and the
Ministers of State assembled, all weep
ing bitterly.
