The marquis says that the King and the
ministers had been warned Of the con-
spiracy against the House of Braganza, but
they wholly misJudged the gravity OF the
situation. They counted implicitly on the
loyalty of the army and navy. King
Manuel was playing bridge with his COM

that every telephone wire to the palace
had been cut.

uniform Of the commanderln-chief Of the
military announced his intention Of plac-
ing himself at the head Of the loyal troops.

rived notifying him Of the impending bonn
bardment Of the palace, the King changed
his attire for civilian clothes and left the
palace unescorted. save by a few COM
panions, and walked through the excited
crowds in the streets unmolested
