Lisbon. Feb. 4.-Changes in the new
portuguese ministry nave followed
each other in such rapid succession to-
day that it has been difficult to keep
track OF them or know what the final
composition Of the cabinet was TO be.

gether yesterday by Admiral Fer
reira De Amaral was superseded. nv

ministers of yesterday were retained

announced and this last cabinet is do
clared to be final

clashing factional interests and insure
the undivided allegiance OF its menu
