FINANCIAL STORM
HITS DENMARK
Extensive Speculation on Bourse Of
Copenhagen and Tight Money
Market the Cause.
There Has Been a Run on a Number
Of Banks and Two Have Been
Forced to Suspend Payment
Government Will Aid
Banks.

Copenhagen.-A financial panic has
arisen here on account of a tight
money market and extensive specula-
tons on the bourse. Two small banks
have been affected and one of these
forced to suspend payment. There
has been a run on several of the
banks. The minister of finance on
Sunday conferred with the officials of
five of the principal banks here, and
1t was decided that the government,
in conjunction with the leading banks,
guarantee all the risks for the banks
affected by placing the necessary
funds at their disposal, which will i'm.
mediately satisfy all the Danish and
foreign creditors.

PORTUGUESE REPUBLICANS
SAY THRONE IS TOTTER|NG
Leaders Are Jubilsnt over Prospect
Of Downfall OF the Monarchy
Financial Crisis an Import
ant Factor.

Lisbon.-The republican leaders in
Portugal are in extremely high spir.
its. They assert confidently that a
republic Is now matter of months,
not of years. One OF the republican
leaders is quoted as saying: THE end
OF the monarchy is near. 1t will come
as unexpectedly as did the murder of
the world will wake up one morning
to find a republic in Portugal We
are convinced that the revolution will
be peaceful one. 1t is mistake for
foreigners to imagine that the people
OF Portugal are not awake. There is
republican organization in every
town, and doctors, lawyers and even
village priests are sending in notices
of their adherence by the score and
there are avowed republican officers
il. the army.
King Manuel is a wel.intentioned
boy. He starts his regime with fair
words and the restoration of political
liberty, but it is inevitable that he
should fall into the hands of the ma.
nipulators of the two old parties
whose bankruptcy was proclaimed by
King Carlos and Premier Franco. Tho
men about the throne know that the
end Is near, and when the time comes
that they realize that they cannot
fight they will surrender as did Dom
Pedro in Brazil. don't think shot
will be fired. King Carlos knew he
was making his last fight. He had
transferred every dollar he had to
England"
The financial situation is viewed
with great alarm. The country is
staggering under its foreign debt, and
commerce is almost paralyzed by the
fluctuations in the gold premium.
Conservative bankers consider the
financial situation to be more critical
than the political.

SON OF PRIEST A MURDERER.
King Carlos Came From Good
Family.

Rio Janeiro-The leader OF the band
that murdered King Carlos and Crown
Prince Luiz, at Lisbon, is Manuel Res
Silva Buissa, and he was born in
the province OF Braganza, Portugal
He was son of the Able of Vinhaes.
and as a boy he went to the Lyceum
at Braganza. He had nine brothers
and sisters, and one of his sisters,
named Belmira, lived until short
time ago in this city. Manuel was
not the first criminal in the family.
One Of his aunts killed a servant in
her employ when she found that her
husband was making love to the wo.
man. She was arrested and sentenced
to n long term of Imprisonment In
Africa.
During the last few years Buissa
was Republican in politics, and he
had friendly relations with members
OF his party, He became free
thinker and 1t was his custom to de-
fend his political ideas in open dis
cussion in the streets and in the cafes
of Lisbon.
Buissa's friend, who supplied the
foregoing information, does not think
that he accepted money for the com
mission OF his crime. Manuel Buissa
was vicious and wicked in many
ways, but he was above taking money
for murder. Buissa's family Is wen
of, not to say wealthy, and still lives
at Vinhaes

GIVES UP THE FIGHT.
Former Premier Franco Flees From
Lisbon to Save His Life.

Lisbon.-The secret and sudden
flight Of Franco, the former premier
Of Portugal. from Lisbon across the
frontier into Spain, accompanied by
his wife and son, was caused by the
threats of death which had been made
against him. Since the murder OF the
king, Franco has been in receipt OF
many letters, all threatening ven
geance. Already Franco as dictator
had been plotted against and had
gone about protected by armed guards,
who also watched his house lest those
who opposed his iron rule should do
him harm, and Of late to these were
added the enmity of those who held
that Franco was responsible, indirect
ly. at least, for the tragedy of Satur-
day last. Two OF Frances ministers
also have disappeared.

Washington.-William s. Rossiter.

place of Public Printer Stillings, went
to the treasury department on Friday

Under this informal ruling Mr.. Ros

and his place was taken by Captain

eminent printing Office as acting pub

by the president. His position in the
