LISBON. February THE body of
King Carlos was placed in its coffin yes

grasped the dead mans hands i'm hers
and kissed them repeatedly. Her face WAS
streaming with tears Friends were
Obliged to remove her centlx though forci

troops presented arms the cortege
passed. On the breast of the dead king
were various insignia and orders, and
his hands were encased in white gloves.
In his fingers wills a rosary. the beads
being black pearls As the procession
moved slowly along priests recited the
prayers for the dead. while from afar
could be heard the boom of cannon on
board the warships. When the final pray

broke in a rhythmic and cadenced dirge. A
similar ceremony marked the transfer
of the body of the crown prince to the
royal chapel.
The face of the young man was COW
cred with Portuguese flag to hide his
wound.

Senior Machado. the leader of the re-
publican party. in an interview To-Day
denied that there was any connection be-
tween his party and the assassinations.
which tragedy the party deeply regretted.
Machado explained that the republicans
were an oppositional group. that their
course had been perfectly legal and that
nothing was further from their minds
than a propaganda of force. He said he
was certain the monarchical regime in
Portugal was doomed and that it would
die out peacefully within a few years.
There would. however. be no violence. The
days of the barricade are gone forever,
Machado said. and in this age ballots are
mightier than bullets.
1t is announced today that Capt. Aze-
vede Coutinhe has been appointed civil
governor of Lisbon. This is the first
time in eighteen years that a military
officer has been named to fill this post
