tentiOn of the new cabinet to put an
end to repression and restore the ''old
liberal monarchy which has existed
in Portugal for sixty years, has had a
soothing effect on the country. Tran
quillity is reported from everywhere in
the interior and today Lisbon, bask-
ing in the brilliant sunshine, seems
perfectly peaceful.
Troops are less conspicuous on the
streets of the city, and if the day OF
the funeral passes without incident the
present phase of the crisis through
which the country is passing may be
regarded as at an end.
The willingness of Machado, the re-
publican leader, and the republicans
generally to acquiesce in the present
situation if their friends are released
seems to insure a return to less siren
uous modes of political warfare. Gen
orally speaking. another Upheaval il
the near future is considered practic-
ally impossible.
Franco in Seclusion.
Intense interest is shown in Franco:
wherea bouts. The drama centerS
about him, but he remains in seclusiOn
seemingly crushed in spirit. He de-
ciines to see correspondents to offer q
defense for his policy and explain his
downfall or his decision to retire COM
| pletely from the political arena. His
| elimia ton is regretted by the com
/ mercial classes and foreign elements
who are convinced that his sole object
was the good of the country.
The young king himself believed il
! Franco. The day after the tragedy
while unbosoming himself to a lifelOna
! friend. he said:
Il intend to retain Franco. He was
my fathers friend and shall be mine

The reconciliation ~of these two ut

the secret of Frances downfall.
Young King Well Liked.

that King Manuel is especially fond OF
America and Americans. In May, 1904

present at the ceremony. The prince
was overjoyed at the courtesy, and
when speaking to Minister Bryan since
seldom failed to recall the delight an6
pleasure he had in the presence of tbs
American officers.
Preparations for the funeral of the
dead king and crown prince are rapid
ly nearing completion. Mr.. Bryan has
received the appointment of special en-
voy of America. He has transmitted
the resolution of sympathy adopted by
the American senate to Foregn Min

by the appreciative form of the con-
