republic is soon to supplant mon
archy in Portugal, it is the practically
unanimous opinion here the near fu-

struggle in which the life of the mon

ative tranquility since the assassina-
tions is simply a breathing spell, in
which the forces of the monarchy on
the one hand and popular government
on the other are being marshaled for
the coming fray, the battlefield of
which will be Lisbon.
Masses Take Little Interest.
The masses of the people in the
country are ignorant and have hitherto
been entirely Indifferent to the poll i
cal battles which have convulsed the
capital Lisbon. for political purposes,
is Portugal, and the republicans are
confident the influence of the capital.
which they assert is almost unani-
mously republican, will sound the
knell of monarchy.
