KING CARLOS,

in the murderous fusillade which de. and crown prince Manuel received a bullet in the right arm.
 The council in solemn stateliness mo- tified Prince Manuel of his accession to kingly state and took the oath of al- legiance. The new king is but boy, being only nineteen years of age. He is the youngest reigning sovereign.
 Immediately after a proclamation was issued by the council of state de- claring Prince Manuel king of Portu- gal, following the assassination of the king and crown prince.
 In stating the facts of the murder the proclamation declares that when the assassins attacked the royal carriage Queen Amelie acted with the greatest courage, heroically attempting to shield her sons at the risk of her own life and at the same time striking at the murderers with large bouquet of roses which she carried.
 The bodies of the king and crown prince rest in the royal palace, and be- side them the queen sat throughout the night, sometimes with her hand press ing the forehead of King Carlos and sometimes stroking the face of the crown prince.
 The condition of the newly proclaim ed King Mar rl is satisfactory to the physicians in attendance. His wound is not severe and if there are no com plications, of which there are no signs now, he is expected to make speedy recovery.
 The bodies of King Carlos and Prince Luiz were embalmed and will lie in state, according to the custom of the court. The funeral probably will be held on Feb. 10.

Premier Franco announced his intention to adopt the most rigorous measures to crush any of the chamber Of deputies, the pre- mier announced. the house of peers will be conyOked to recognize the &C., cession of Manuel. and he will then take the oath of allegiance.
