Secrecy as to Regicides.

The greatest secrecy is being main- tained as to the identity of the regt- cides and the details of the investi- gation which is being made into the assassination. The names of the as- sailants who were shot down by the police guard and the others who were captured while they were fleeing from the scene of the fatal attack are be- ing withheld if indeed they have been learned by 4he police themselves.
 The bodies of King Carlos and the Crown Prince are lying today in the palace in the same room of the suite which was occupied by the, King. No arrangements yet have been made for the funeral.
 The accession to the throne of Prince Manuel was announced in a proclama- ton issued by the Council of State to- day. In stating the facts of the mur- der the proclamation declares that when the. kssassins attacked the royal carriage, Queen AmeIie acted with the greatest courage, heroically attempt ing to shield her son at the risk of her own life and at the same time striking at the murderers with large bouquet which she carried.

Tragedy strengthens Bather Thaa weaIxens the Monarchy

Trawedy strengthems F3ather Than weakens the Monarchy.
 Lisbon, Portugal, Feb. 2--AH For tugal is in mourning today TOT tne King and Crown Prince, who yesteF- day met death at the hands or Dano of assassins.
 every hand evidence of sincere sorrow unlike anything ever before manifest ed in the history of the monarchy. flood of telegrams from every secCoh of the country express grief over the tragedy and assurance to the authori- ties of the support from the people. Already it is apparent that the act or the assassins has had result oirec'- ly opposite to what they desired.
 That the monarchy will continue there seems no doubt at this moment. The leaders of all the monarchist par ty from the most conservative to those where the advanced ideas pre- vail, have reached complete agree rnent to this effect and they are bend ing all their efforts toward the main- tenance of order in the country.
 Tomorrow The Official Gazette will announce the accession to the throne of Prince Manuel, who with the Queen mother had an almost miraculous escape from death in the storm of bul- lets which poured into the royal car" riage yesterday. Ills wounds wnlcn ae first were believed to be serious, proved to be of comparatively slight conse- quence and today he is well on the road to complete recovery. }
 It is confidently believed that this young man, in his accession to the throne will find his great task con- siderably frightened owing to the fact that he is known to be of a charming, sympathetic nature which has always been a delight to those about him. Even with his wounds and amid the dreadful scenes which accompanied and followed the tragedy, the young prince has preserved a demeanor almost of dignity. His wounded arm is carried in a sling but he makes light of his own hurts and protests that he suffers m nafu uvhafavar

In authoritative quarters that his let

earnestly strive for those not enacted,
which will have ring similar to that
pronounced by President Roosevelt on
