EPUbL|CANs AND
ROYAL|STS FIGHT.
Poverty in Northern Portugal
Peasants Ready to Fight for
Anybody who Will Feed
Them.

Vigo, Oct, 7.-Severe fighting be
tween the Portuguese royalists and re
publicans is reported from acros:
The frontier. Captain Couceiro,
| in command of the royal forces
| is said to have been defeated at Bra
CANA, in the northeast, and at Finhaes
IA miles further west, a rovalist column
is reported surrounded.
The most sensational news, however
comes from Oporto. where it is be-
lieved a decisive battle Of the uprising
Nill be fought. 1t is asserted that two
modern battleships, purchased in some
mysterious manner by the royalists,
are now off the port ready to lombard
the town as soon as the land battle be.
gins. The government has rushed re-
Inducements to the garrison, but there
are persistent rumors that the city Is
seriously disaffected and that many de
sertions are taking place.
In the meantime, the people oil
northern Portugal are plunged into a
miserable condition OF poverty. The
crop has been very bad and the peas
ants are ready to fight for anybody who
will feed them.
The Portuguese g0rernmcn!, atrf
repeated denials that there was any
serious trouble, has MT length officially
recognized the revolt. Premier Chagas
has Issued statement that force OF
., 500 royalists has crossed the northern
frontier. He adds tile rather naive de-
clara,ion that they were PERMITTED to
penetrate the country SO that the world
might he sure OF their hostile intentions
before the republican troops annihllatsd
them.
London, Oct. THE reports that
ex-King Manuel has left England to
head the uprising in his favor in Portu.
gal are absolutely groundless. Manuel
is still in Richmond, and has made
formal denial OF any intention OF leaving
the country. As a matter OF fact, DE
shows little interest in the news from
his native country, and does not ap-
pear very enthusiastic over the prospect
OF once moro climbing into his blood
stained throne.
1t is Tar otherwise with Duke Wien,
the son OF Dom Miguel, the Portuguese
prete1der. The duke, who is the hus-
band OF the iormor Miss Anita Stewart,
OF New York, heiress to the millions OF
"Sileut" Smith, has rushed to Munich
to attend family council with the
arowed intention Of pushing his claims
to the crown.
Unfortunately for the duke he is
penniless and Mrs. James Henry
Smith, his motherin-law, refuses to
part with any of her millions for the
purchase OF the rickety throne OF Por-
tugal.
The Miguelsts insist that the pres
ent uprisiog is really in favor OF their
candidate, but there seems little foun-
dstion for this assertion. Dom Miguel
and his son Joseph are said to be with
the monarchist forces, as also is Man
uel's uncle, Dom Alfonso, who left
Paris yesterday.

THE WAR BETWEEN
1:ITALY AND TURKEY.
The "House of Cards" About to Tum-
ble---Italy Dominates Mediter-
ranean, Adriatic and Red
Seas.

London, Oct. THE first week o
the war between Italy and Turkey ha
closed with all the tricks thus far taker
by the Italians. Tripoli has fallen, a!
Italian force holds the coast of eyre
uaica and the Italian navy dominate
the Mediterranean, the Adriatic aDe
the Red Sea, nlenacing the ports oi
European Turkey, assuring the safe
passage Of the military expedition o
40, 900 men that Italy is about to la1c
in Tripoli to complete her conquest,
Turkey remains inert and apparently
helpless. She has seen the last rem
nant OF the one time great Ottoman
Empire torn from her grasp, practi'
cally without an effort TO save it.
Rent by internal divisions, threatened
with revolt in her ever turbulent Euro.
pean provinces, surrounded on every
hand by relentless foes, she remains
plunged in apathy.
At the outbreak OF the war, grave
fears were expressed in the capitals OF
Europe that a general European con-
flict might be provoked. Italy's ac-
ton IN attacking Preveza, a port. IN
European Turkey; was bitterly resented
by Austria which threatened to take a
hand in the dispute If Italian troops
were landed in Albania. The storm
was averted, however, by the decision
OF the Rome government 10 cease its
operations in the Adrialic.
The most disquieting news at pres
ent comes from Athens. An army
corps Of the Greek army has been
modified and there is a feyerish activ-
ity on the part of the Greek War De-
partment. Turkey, helpless in Africa,
is said To be willing to recoup her<eif
by seizing Thessaly. Already 25O, 900
of the Sultan's troops arc under arms
and double this number are being
modified. Profound unrest is appar.
ent ell over the Balkans and spark
may explode that powder mine at any
moment with the most tremendous
consequences.
A new ministry has been formed at
Constautinople but its stability is seri-
ously doubted Tho Young Turks are
determined to seize full control OF the
government and are strenuously en-
deavoring to fan the war spirit OF the
nation for political purposes.
At present there is lull in the
storm, but it is impossible to forecast
what the future holds. 1t is hardly
too much to say that all Europe IS
holding its breath, fearful that before
the sword is again sheathed, the flame
OF war may have blazed from the Baltic
to the Mediterranean.
Constantinople. Oct. The gov
ernment has ordered closed all Italian
establishments throughout the coun-
try. At Salonika, where an Italian
Hospital was conducted by the sisters
OF charity the authorities offered per-
mission to have it conducted under
their control. The sisters, however,
refused, and closed the institution.
Fiune, Oct. IA report reached
here today, that the Turkish forts
at St. Jean de Medua had sunk an
Italian sailing vessel and in turn had
been practically destroyed by the guns
OF two Italian cruisers.

for it every day. One woman has just
written us that it is the best possible thingto
clean porcelain bathtubs. So it is.
Also marble washstands, bowls, tiled
floors, linoleum, windows, woodwork,
everything in fact which has washable

Fels-Naptha soap not only loosens the
dirt so it can be wiped off with cloth, but
dissolves it as well, scattering it into tiny
smolecules which run away with the wash
swater.
Even the human grease which collects
about the sides of bathtub after hot
bath-is dissolved by Fels-Naptha SO
thoroughly that none will adhere to the
wiping cloth.
Don't use hot water in cleaning things
with Fels-Naptha. 1tisn't necessary.
