forming the monarchy into a republic,
and the movement that begun Tues
day in the capital, is likely to spread
quickly throughout the country.
The warships began bombarding the
kings palace at 2 o'clock in the after
noon with small show of resistance, and
the supporters of the monarchy were
forced to capitulate.
It is believed the killing of Prof.
Bombarda, the Republican deputy, and

OAKLAND, Oct. An the discovery
of the launch PaStime at the boat
house of Burrowes g. Baxter, in the
Oakland estuary, the detectives who
are working OF the case of the dyna-
hitting Of the Los Angeles Times build
ing are certain they have at last To-
lated the mysterious craft known as
the Peerless" and used by the perpe-
traitors OF the crime to carry the dyna-
mite sticks from the salesrooms of the
powder company at Giant, Contra
Costa county, September %.
The boat was identified today by
George Phillips, chief salesman of the
powder company, as being Identical
with the one used by the men who pur-
chased the powder. Detective w. ].
Burns, representing Earl Rogers, who
is conducting the investigation into the
matter, visited the boat house today
in company with Captain of Detectives
w. j. Petersen OF Oakland and several
detectives from Los Angeles.
After careful examination OF the
launch. and after hearing Phillips iden-
tification, Burns said:
"There cannot be a doubt about that
being the boat used by the men we are
after Bit by bit we have gained on
them, and the finding of the boat in
which they carried on most of their
early operations is very important"

plots for the overthrow of the mon
archy and against his life.
The Republican party has been PLAN
ming for a complete change in the gov
ernment, and King Manuel. according
to the Republican leaders, by his disre-
gard for the rights of the people, and
by his blind insistence on a dictatorial
system, has added to the peoples
wrath.
AS usual under such circumstances,
telegraph communication with Lisbon
has been cut off, but wireless connec-
tion with vessels lying off Lisbon has
amply confirmed the revolution.

TRIAL OF HATTIE LEBLANC.
 THE EVIDENCE COMPLETED Leading Counsel for Prisoner Opens His Plea-The Widow a Vampire.

Cambridge, Mass. Dec. 12.-The evil dence upon which q jury will convict or acquit Hattie Leblanc of the mur der of Clarence r. Glover was com pleted shortly after the beginning of the afternoon session Of the trial to- day. and the remaining two hours was occupied by Melvin NJ. Johnson, the leading counsel for the little Cape Breton girl. in the opening of his plea for her life. The tall young lawyer declared at the outset that the little girl was brought froms~the provinces eolely for the white slave" traffic. and then. turning to Mrs. Lillian NJ. Glover, who induced her to leave her home, MT. Johnson denounced the widow as a vampire and recited Kipling's poem to emphasize his point. He will finish his argument tomorrow.
 District Attorney Higgins today made one last effort to introduce Glover's alleged dying statement that Hattie LeBlanc had shot him. but when he declared that Mir. Johnson himself had said that Hattie had admitted the shooting there was burst of passiOn- ate protest from the defense Again Judge Bond ruled the evidence out of the case. When Mrs. Glover was on thes stand the district attorney became involved in a heated argument with Judge Bond upon the admissibility of some of her evidence, and the cOlloquy became so bitter that the district attor- ney was threatened with expulsion.
 Two more witnesses were introduced who declared that they saw Mrs. Glo- yer close by the laundry on the even- ing of the shooting, while the widow denied that she was out of her house on that night. Then. after breathing space Of half an hour. the principal defender of Hattie Leblanc began his final effort to obtain her freedom.
 It was expected tonight that MT. Johnson would close before noon to- morrow and that the remainder of the day would be taken up by the district attorney
