The only word or indication that the
integrity of Portugal had positively
been broken, came from Oporto in the
form of a rumor that a republic had
been proclaimed there but this was not
confirmed. Lisbon, far from being a
scene of revolutionary outbreaks, seems
sincerely prostrated with grief The
streets are silent and the people, wear
ing emblems of mourning pass slowly
and sorrowfully, discussing the murder
OF the King and the Crown Prince. The
cowardly shooting of the King in the
back, calls forth words of execration
on the regicides, while the government
declares that the murderers viii only
