verter. prominent ex-Spanish minister
in an interview here. declares that the
events in Lisbon will have no echo in
Spain.
There is not the slightest danger to
the Spanish monarchy" he says. THE
people are monarchical by nature and the
present liberal government is very popu-
lar. This Is the best guarantee possible
against any revolutionary movement The
Spanish republicans are not restless

there was little likelihood of England in

attitude was bound to have a certain i'm

Simultaneous Uprising Planned.
PARIS. October 6-Dispatches from San
Sebastian, Spain. say that the Spanish
government has been aware for some
time that the Spanish republicans were
plotting with the Portuguese republicans
for Simultaneous outbreak in both coun-
tries. October 10. the anniversary OF
F'errara's execution, was the date ten
tatively chosen for the combined effort.
But the Spanish plotters. after canvass
ing the situation thoroughly, realized that
they had little chance Of success. Their
efforts to win over officers of the army
are said to have resulted in failure. while
Gen. Weyler plainly intimated that any
attempt at revolution would be merciless-
ly put down.
Nevertheless. the large body Of Spanish
opinion is convinced that the strike of the
republicans In Portugal means a similar
outbreak In Spain, with the probability
Of q counter revolutionary movement by
the Cariists In the north.
Many Nations May Be Affected.
Diplomacy already is occupied with the
effects the establishment Of a republic
In Portugal would have upon the inter-
national relations Of the European powers.
Portusars economic Importance is great
and should . republic actually be attain

turn the dynasttc understanding with
Great Britain into q formal alliance.
From q political standpoint, the epoch
making events In Portugal are of chief
interest with reference to possible
echo in Spain. where the political atmos-
phere 10 now very unsettled. The re-
publicans are strong in Madrid and other
cities in Spain. They have made nota-
BILE strides. particularly in the last cleo
festations over the relations between the
church and the state have been q per-
petual source Of unrest.
1t IL considered here that the presence

president-elect of Brazil, when he was
wildly acclaimed by the people, and the
assassination Of DIR. Bombarda. the re-
publican deputy, were. psychological in
cidents which famed the smoldering
fires Of revolution. Lisbon's gay decora-
tons in honor Of the Brazilian president
elect became embiems Of the Portuguese
ton that the Eevolution has ingulfed the
rest Of the realm. there Is a possibility
that civil war will be averted.
1t Is pointed out that the navy has
shown increasing sympathy with the re-
publicans since the revolt Of the warship
Vasco da Cana In 1905. The sailors
have been resentful because Of the con-
viction and imprisonment Of their COM
rades. Since then the navy has been
the object Of suspicion and at the recent
elections. rs q measure Of precaution, the
government ordered the warships to leave
Lisbon. While the officers Of the army
are faithful to the monarchy, the subal-
terms are permeated with republican doc
trines.
