MADRID, via Hendaye, France,
Oct. 6-Formidable military prep
arations have been made through
out Spain for great uprising Of
the republican revolutionists, sup
ported by the clerical faction that
IS bitterly opposed to the king and
his cabinet.
There is no concealment of the
fact that the demonstrations are
to be of an anti-dynastie character
and to make matters worse, coun-
ter demonstrations are planned by
the anti-clericals and clash OF
the factions would provide oppor-
tunity for the precipitation Of q
revolution.

deserving.
While I know nothing of the
case other than what your article
stated in your issue of last even

taken to assist that family you
may draw on me for at least five

King Manuel escaped safely
This was in accordance with the
revolutionary program, according
to statement given the United
Press on the highest authority.
Let King Escape.
The republicans decided it was
to exile Manuel rather
than kill him. The leaders know
where the deposed king is and
have purposely spread conflicting
reports in order to prevent his
capture, and place them in the en-
barrassing position of deciding
Manuel's fate.
Manuel's intrigue with Mile.
Caby des Lys, a French woman,
started the revolution. Then fol-
lowed the assassination of Deputy
Bombarda. Finally, last Satur-
day, the revolutionists learned
that the Portuguese feet, assem-
bled in Lisbon harbor, was to be
scattered to distant stations owing
to the republican sentiment

Interesting Facts AS
Regards Portugal

Spain once more laid claim to
the throne, and for 60 years suf-
fered much at the hands of the
Spanish Dons. At this time the
duke of Braganza excited revo-
luton, and the Spanish fetters
were broken. The duke was pro-
claimed king and was crowned as
John the w. This opened the
house of Braganza, whose de-
scendant is the unfortunate Man
uel, forced few days ago to flee
for his life.

{ Portugal is the most southwest
ern of the European Kingdoms
or was-until the present revolu-
tion.
Portugal is on the Iberian or
Pyrenean peninsula between
Spain and the Atlantic ocean.
Portugal's area is 34,502 miles.
1t is divided into six provinces.
Lisbon, the capital, and Oporto,
the chief port, are the only large
cities. Barga, Setubal and Coim-
bra have over $4,000 population.
Portugal has long coast line,
with some twenty-one harbors.
The interior of the country is
generally mountainous.
No important rivers rise in Por-
tugal, but there are many naviga-
BILE streams which flow through
the country.
Precious metals of great value
have not been a prominent fea-
ture of Portugal's resources,
though there is a great variety.
Large quantities of salt are found
in bays along the coast.
Portugal has what might be
called a very mild climate, and
enjoys double spring.
Woolen goods, tinware, soap,
olive oil and wines form leading
features of the industrial life.
Although there is great ship
ping facilities and much COM
merce is carried on in this way,
the roads are poor and internal
defective.
The Portugal crown was heredi-
tary in the male and female line,
with the males given preference.
The crown recognized four pow
ers: the legislative, executive, ju-
dicial and moderating. The last
was vested in the king.
Compulsory service in the army
was introduced in 1895, and all
above 21 years of age, with few
exceptions, were subject to mill
tary duty.
The Portuguese are a mixed
race. Originally they were
Basque, with later a mixture of
Celtic blood. In the north Gall
clan blood is apparent, presum-
ably from the Gallo invaders.
Jewish and Arabic race factors
show In the center, while Afri-
can blood Is observed in the south.
Portugal was originally ancient
1t was conquered by
the Romans in the time of Angus
tus and made into province.
When Roman supremacy was
in the fifth century
the Alanas and Visigoths invaded,
and Portugal, then part Of
Spain, suffered much.
The Moors took possession In
the eighth century, and remained
400 years.
The Spaniards wrested away
the northern part from the Moors
about 1890.
Henry, the younger duke of
who helped the Span
Iards fight the Moors. married
the daughter OF King Alfonso the
VI and was given power over the
conquered districts.
The son of Henry made Portu-
gal an Independent kingdom in
l143.
This Burgundian house re-
NAMED in power for 440 years.
In 1883, the Burgundian male
line came to an end. and the king
Of Spain laid claim to the throne.
He was beaten off by Don John,
who took the throne. Don John
was the iIiegitimate brother of
the last Burgundianl
king.
Emanuel. who was one Of the
following kings, proved the
greatest monarch OF his times.
Under his reign the people were
