INSPECT ACCOUNTS
Records of School Superin-
tendents in County to
Be Gone Over.

J. D. Smith and R. c. James, mem
bers of the state board of accounts,
are now engaged in inspecting the rec
ords of the school superintendent in
the incorporated towns of the county.

Night Battle.
(National News Association)

MADRID, April 3O.-A conspiracy
in the Portuguese navy, similar to
that which resulted in the overthrow
Of King Manuel and the setting up of
a republic in Portugal was discovered
today, according to a telegram from
Lisbon. Seven sailors on board the
Portuguese cruiser San Gabriel in the
Tegus harbor were arrested while try
ing to signal friends on shore and

plot existed to turn the navy into the
hands of the Royalists. A govern
ment message said that order had
been restored following three days of
intermittent rioting but admitted that
the situation is still critical.
Shortly after midnight a number of
small boats filed with armed civilians
surrounded the cruiser Republica and
attempted to rescue the military and
political prisoners on board. Sentries
on the ship fred upon the would-be
rescuers and drove them away in dis
order.

Following so closely upon reports
that President Yuan Shi Kai had de-

hostility against the term of the loan
contract, this was regarded as clever
political coup to enable Yuan to re-

Since the senate rejected the loan
contract yesterday, China has been
plunged into a precarious political
situation and the foreign diplomats
were agreed that decisive and immedi-
ate action by the government was
necessary to retain its prestige.
