Lisbon. Feb. 7-(Via Badajos,
Spain. Feb. S)-Republican leaders
in Portugal are in extremely high
spirits today. To a representative Of
the Associated Press the man who IS
perhaps the most competent spokes-
man OF that party outlined the situa-
ton. He said:
The end of the monarchy is near
j. win come as Unexpectedly as the
murder of the king and crown prince.
"" are convinced. however, that the
revolution will be peaceful.
King Manuel Is well-intentioned
hoy. but the men about the throne

will realize they cannot fight and they
viii surrender, as did Don Pedro, in
Brazil
Il do not think there will be a shot
fired. We will make the change of
regime an open policy in the coming
campaign. They dare not try srepres-
sion again, and they can only surren-
der"
The latter part of this week the
fear grew that an attempt would be
made when the funeral was held to
complete the bloody work left unfin-
ished a week ago 1t was therefore
decided that neither the king nor
Queen should follow the funeral cor
feRe. AT first, King Manuel insisted
on following on foot behind the cof-
Inns of his father and brother, with
his uncle, the duke Of Oporto, but
was dissuGded.
The censorship that is being main
tanned at Ltsbc1 over both CONNER
cial and press dispatches is rigorous,
but il Is applied in most stupid fash
Ion. Not only was everything elimi-
nated representing Portugal to be
Dther than in state of blissful tran
nuility, but whenever the censor, with
p half knowledge of foreign languages,
saw a word that looked dangerous.
he would extract the whole sentence,
regardless of the sense and meaning.
