r,ishon. Feb. S.-The funeral serv-
ices over the bodies of King carlos
and Grown Prince Luise was held IN
the Church of ST. Vincent early this
afternoon. The ceremonies were SIM
pie but impressive, and the maj acl
in the bloody tragedy of FEBRUARY
was carried to a close without any
untoward incident.
The line Of the funeral procession
from the royal chapel in the palace to
the church was guarded by troops.
several additional regiments having
been brought into the city for the
purpose. All the governments of Eu-
rope and America We're represented
by special missions. The day was one
in which the Portuguese people united
in prayer for their murdered king and
prince. Oppressional, real or fancled,
restriction of liberty, bitter clash Of
parties, sinister intrigue and merciless
vengeance seemed all to have been
abandoned for the moment at least, as
the nation prepared for the funeral.
The streets were thronged with peo-
ple. They poured in from the coun-
try, q I'm towns or provinces and from
NEARLY cities, by train, carriage, cart
and on the cars. In the crowd We're
large numbers of simple peasants and
tradesmen, from provinces who knew
nothing of the political strife, but
wished only to mourn the dead leaders
Bits of crepe fiuttered from the arms
of many persons in the city.
In spite Of these general signs of
mourning the crowded streets suggest
led to some observers general fete
day which the talking throngs We're
all bent on observing; but to others
the presence of large bodies of infant
rymen and cavalerymen at various
points Of prominence had sinister
significance and the suggestion of the
tragic events that had come and OF
those that might fall on the nation
in the near future but which, if pos
sible, were to be forestalled.
Route Densely Lined.
The route of march between the
palace and the church was densely
however, was carefully avoided by sus-
Praca de Commercio, where the
cold blooded murders were committed
last Saturday. Had it not been for
the presence Of the cavalry picket this
part of the praca would have been alb
solutely deserted. All business houses
and shops in Lisbon were shut and the
ministerial offices situated in the
Praca de Commercio were closed as a
measure of precaution. Furthermore,
all windows of the buildings were care
fully shuttered.
The funeral procession left the pail
ace at exactly 1880 on its long march
of over three and one-half miles to the
church Of San Vicente, which is at
tached to the royal pantheon, where
the bodies of King Carlos and the
crown prince finally will be laid at
rest.
Yielding to earnest solicitations,
King Manuel did not take part in the
procession. He and his mother, Queen
Amelia, and the mother of the late
kign, were present at the services in
the mortuary chapel, and followed the
ooffins to the door of the chapel,
whence they returned to the palace.
During the morning King Manuel re-
ceived the missions sent to Lisbon by
the sovereigns and chiefs of state of
foreign countries. The funeral cortege
arrived at the church at 2 o'clock. 1t
traversed the scene of the tragedy in
quiet. a
