Royal Carriage Riddlel.
1t was because of the beautiful
weather that an open carriage was in
waiting for the royal family, and
when they took their places they were
greeted with some lifting of hats, but

rage sharply turned into the Rua de
Arsenal there was cracking of guns
and a shower of bullets made their
way into the bodies of the king and
crown prince and the little prince,
who proved an easy target. The as
sassins, numbering six in all, boldly
ran up to the sides of the carriage
and poured in a hail Of lead before
the stupefied escort could intervene.

in front of her sons shielding the
bodies with her own. She frantically
struck at the murderers with bou-

carrying, but even in the face of this
the men fired again and again.
Prince Manuel shoots nj Assassins.
As he saw his father and his broth

revolver and discharged ii at the men,
but was himself struck on the right
arm by a bullet from a carbine. A
footman in the carriage also was
wounded, and it was stated that a
