Lisbon. Dec. 10.-Another serious
plot has been uncovered. The blue
jackets of the cruiser Sac Gabriel had
planned in conjunction with the SIX
teenth infantry and a body of civil
fans to attack the republican guard
which on account of its having been
the royal bodyguard. has always been
suspected of lukewarm devotion to
the republic and is now in especially
bad ordor among ultra-repubItcans
because of the violence with which it
pressed recent disturbances, when
many ultra-republicans were killed or
wounded.
The authorities learned Of the plot
and circumyented 1t by sending the
Sao Gabriel to the Azores and with
drawing the guard from pafreil4ng the

being rapidly consumed
The blaze early assumed threaten
