 Too Late to Save SpaDiards.

Lisbon, May 17.-.Joa Chagras, pres formed as a result of the short revo- lution. was shot and probably fatally wounded at the Entrocamenta railway station today.
 Senor Chagras was journeying from Oporto to Lisbon to assume his duties here. Senator de Freitas fired the shots. Four bullets entered the body of Chagras.
 The station was crowded and the populace, realizing that de Fretas' pistol shots had again set up counter revolution, surrounded the senator and attempted to lynch him. He was taken into custory and start ed to the police station. AS he was being led away, bullet from gen darmer's revolver killed him instant | ly.
 Senor Chagras was immediately re- moved to a hospital, where his con dition was pronounced most grave. One of de Freitas' bullets struck his head, causing fractured skull.
 Tonight Lisbon is again being bom- barded by the warships in the hands of the revolutionists. Over 100 per sons already have been killed, includ- ing some Spaniards.
 The Spanish warships Espana and Rio de la Plata, with a torpedo boat, have arrived.
 200 Dead, 300. Wounded.
 The casualties in the fighting in and around Lisbon for the past few days. prior to tonight's bombardment, are estimated at 200 killed and 300 wounded
 The attempted assassination of Chagras came at the end of storm that had ragged here for several hours. breaking out after everything had app parently calmed down. Prior to re- ceipt of the news of the shooting, an angry crowd in the heart of the city sacked the offices of the Intransigi- ente and also the Tauromachio clubs, the majority of the members of which are Monarchists.
 BefQree rioting broke out in the aft ernoon, it appeared that everything had become normal and the populace was entirely satisfied with the change in the ministry. It is reported that the revolution ary committee has decided that Presi- dent Arriagga, inasmuch as he has respected the revolutionary movement, will be continued in office until his term expires on October 5.
