crees. The cabinet was of the opinion
that thus having established its deter
mination radically to reorganize the
affairs of the country it could appeal
with the fullest confidence to the peo-
pie in a general election.
Franco, the premier, dissolved the
chamber and established a dictator
ship.
After numerous minor risings had
been put down the police, on January
%, came upon widespread plot to
overthrow the monarchy and proclaim
Portugal republic. The plot was or
ganized by a small group of advanced
republicans, and the original intention
was to assassinate Premier Franco
and depend upon the secret, republican
and labor organizations, armed with
bombs and revolvers, to complete the
work of revolution in the country.
But the police raided the meeting
place of the conspirators and made a
number of arrests, Selling quantities
of bombs and other weapons, and since
then other raids have been made in
Lisbon, with the result that the police
believed they had the revolutionaries
well in hand. Each day, however,
brought new evidence OF the ramifica-
lions of the plot to remove the heads
of the state
A treaty with England, however, not
only provides far assistance from that
country in the event of foreign inva-
sion, but is also designed to safeguard
the crown against any demonstrations
from revolutionists.
Pretender May Come to Front.
Dom Miguel de Braganza, head of
the house of the line of Braganza, who
formerly reigned over Portugal, the
pretender to the throne, is likely to
come to the front again because of
the death of King Carlos and the
crown prince. The father of Dom
Miguel was the late King Miguel l.,
duke of Braganza, who seized the
throne from his niece, Queen Maria
H., daughter of Emperor Pedro l. Of
Brazil, and was king of Portugal from
1928 to 1884, at which latter date
Queen Maria was restored to the
throne. There have been numerous
rumors of rebellion, with the object
of placing Dom Miguel on the throne,
but recently these were not given seri-
Gus consideration.
Dom Miguel, through the medium of
Vienna, announced his readiness to fill
any vacancy in the Portuguese throne
arising from the dispute in that coun-
try.
New Boy King.
A boy king, who henceforth will be
known as Manuel H., is tonight. the
ruler of the kingdom of Portugal, and
the revolution into which the insti-
gators of the bloody events of yester-
day had hoped to plunge the country
has not up to the present engulfed the
nation. Franco, the dictator and real
commander of the country's destinies
is confirmed in power with the king
determined to prevent further violence
and instruction and to preserve the
monarchy.

PopuIace Is Panic-stricken.

The news of the assassination swept
through the city like wildfire, and to-
night half the populace is panic
stricken, not knowing where the next
blow may fall. There is the greatest
dread for the future of the country,
which seems on the verge of being
plunged into the awful throes of rev.
olution, with all the attendant horrors
and bloodshed. Throughout the city
CONSERVATION reigns and all the
houses and business places are barred
and barricaded.

Biography of Carlos.

Carlos l. was born September %,
1868, the son of King Luiz I. and his
queen, Marie Pia. He married Marie
Amelie, daughter of Philip, due dor
leans, May %, 1885. He succeeded to
the throne October 10, 1889.
The crown prince, Luiz Philippe,
dufe of Braganza, was born March 81,
1887.
While there had been considerable
disruption in Portugal for long time,
the strained relations between King
Carlos and parliament were brought to
head only on March IL last by the
dissolution of the chamber. The state
councillors addressed a letter to the
king protesting against the state of
absolutism which resulted from the
dissolution, and they declared the king
and country had been placed in dan
gerous position. The crisis in the po-
litical situation arose from the fact
that the cabinet, which epresented ex-
clusively the new liberal group, found
| its program of reform DISTRACTED by
both the old conservative end progress
sive parties and decided to ask for the
dissolution of parliament in order 70
bring about the PRONUNCIATION Of a
number of measures by means of de
