AND BRAGANZA DYNASTY
REMAINS.
PREMIER AMARAL FORMS NEW
CABINET TO RESTORE
PEACE.
DICTATORSHIP AT AN END AND
FRANCO TAKES TO
FLIGHT.

Lisbon, Feb. 5.-Lisbon is beginning
to recover from the shock and horror
of Saturdays bloody tragedy, but a
strong undercurrent of popular and
governmental nervousness remains
Political tension is slackening. Senior
Bernardino Machando, leader of the
peaceful wing of the republicans,
agrees to the truce provided that his
friends now under arrest are iberat-
ed, freedom of the press restored and
elections ordered. Admiral do Amaral,
a devoted friend of the queen, who
assumes power, is committed to a re-
versal of the entire policy Of the die
tatorship, abolition of repressiVe
measures and restoration Of the "old
liberal monarchy" On Saturday the
government by decree will be with
drawn, amnesty accorded political Of
tenders not implicated in deeds of VIC
lence and the embargo on the pr
raised.
Francois Downfall Complete.
FRANCOIS downfall is complete. He
recognized that it was impossible to
saddle the youthful king at the outset
of his reign with stern program in
volving the immediate Punishment and
deportation of several hundred polit-
ical offenders, to which he had COM
mitted himself if he retained his office
He told a friend that the assassina-
ton of the king ended his political ca
reer. He offered his services, how
ever, but these were refused, both
Queen AmeIie and the dowager queen,
Maria Pia, agreeing with the unani-
mouse view of the council Of state
that the author of the dictatorship
must be cast aside. Franco has fed.
Conspiracy a Failure.
Practically no Roadway has been
made in unraveling the plot, of which
the murder of the king and crown
prince was but one step. The police
now admit that the three men ar
rested were not involved. Every one
OF the desperate band, except the
three men killed, escaped in the con
fusion. The Identification of these
three throws but little light upon
their connections. While it is be-
lieved by some that they were in
voIved in the conspiracieS which were
in the latter part Of Janu-
airy, it is possible that the regicide
was planned and executed on the spur
of the moment after the appearance Of
the decree by a small group of mill
tant revolutionaries or anarchlstic so
cialists, who may have imagined that
the obliteration Of the Braganza dy-
nasty would cause spontaneous up
rising of the people. The conspiracy
was foiled in both respects, as the
prince escaped and the peo-
pie wait in mourning for the double
funeral on Saturday.
New Cabinet Formed.
During the course of the day Adj
miral do AmaraI succeeded in bring
ing the opposing factions to his way
