A Defense Of PortugaPs kirq.

count OF what occurred at the royal
palace on the night that the revofu-
ittion eliminated. and has to degree
cleared the mystery which las here

ing the expuls ion of the Braganzas.
Unless the royal secretary has per-
verted the truth, King Manuel has
been given scant justice in the cur

been represented as playing the role
of the craven and coward. and tile i'm
preston that he showed far from
kingly attributes in the crisis with
which he was suddenly confronted.

while aware of the dangers which
threatened his throne. had been given
assurance by his advisers that the
army and navy were loyal. He was
engaged in a game of bridge when the

household servants deserving him and
his cowardly companions urging him to
submission, this boy king donned his
uniform as commander in chief of the
army, He refused the advice of the
premier that he should depart i'm
mediately. and declared his intention
to place himself at the head OF the
loyal troops and fight for his crown
