Qarlos and Crown Prince of Portugal
Shot to Death in Carriage.
WOUNDED SON NOW KING
Lisbon, Feb. 4—Under a new re
gime, with a new king and the estab
fishment of a new cabinet, Portugal
seems to be for the moment at peace.
There is an underlying current of rev
olutions, however, and the strictest
measures are being taken to preserve
order.
Premier Franco resigned for fear his
eontinuance in office would plunge the
country into rebellion. The premier has
been considered directly responsible
for the political turmoil which result
ed In the assassination of the king
and his withdrawal from power is re
garded as holding a promise of pcliti
cal tranquility,
A new cabinet has been formed un
der the presidency of Rear Admiral |
Ferreira De Amalar, a member of the
Progressist-Dissident party.
Premier Franco proclaimed the ac |
¢ession of Prince Manuel to the
throne, the naval and military chiefs,
King Carios of Portugal.
the hizh dignitaries of state swore al
legian ‘e to the new king, and Portugal
still lived under a monarchy.
Retirning from a sojourn at the king's
estate at Villa Vicosa, accompanied
by the queen, the crown prince and
the [afant Manuel, the sovereign
seemingly was in happy mood when
‘he stepped into the carriage in wait
ing at the railroad station.
The entire court, ministers and la
dies in waiting and many army offi.
cers wore in the station when the
train drawing the royal family pulled
in. The weather was glorious, almost
like summer. with warm, soft breezes
blowing in from the ocean.
It was because of the beautiful
weather that an open carriage was in
waiting for the rova! family. and when
they took their places they were greet-
ed with some lifting of hats, but most.
ly iv silence. Then as the carriage
sharply turned into the Rua Do Ar-
sena! ‘nere was a crackling of guns,
and a shower of bullets tore their way
into ii» bodies of the king and crown
prince and the little prince, who proved
an easy target. The assassins, numb-
ering #ix in all, boldly ran up to the
sides of the carriage and poured in a
hail 0! 1ead before the stupefied escort
could intervene. The king and crown
prince, half rising, fell back into the
cushions, the blood gushing from many
wounds. The coachman brought his
whip across the flanks of his horses,
and with a bound they dashed away,
disappearing into the arsenal quad-
rangle The panic stricken people,
who bad fled on all sides, could see the
Queen leaning over the crown prince
and her younger son, who also was
bleeding from wounds made by the
assassins bullets.

can say, but it was a veritable fusillade

eoming from the right side of the
street. The effort of the crown prince,
who was sitting opposite to the king,
€o rise, was pitiful and without avail,
for he just lifted himself sufficently to
pitch forward and fal! over the pros-
grate body of his father. Queen Am-
@lie, uttering a scream that could be
@eard by all who had not become
frenzied by the attack, threw herself
towards her sons, shialding their bodles
with her own. She frantically struck
at the murders with a bouquet of roses
which ghe had been carrying, but even
4n the face of this the men fired again
and again. As he saw his father and
.
his brother fall Prince Manuel whipped
out a revolver and discharged it at the
men, but was himself struck on the
right arm by a bullet from a carbine,
A footman in the carriage also was
wounded and it was stated that a bullat
grazed the queen's shoulder but did
not do her harm.
Shot In the Back.
Only mounted police accompanied
the carriage, as the king had refused
military escort. The attack came from
the rear, for it was found afterward
that the king had been shot in the
pack of the neck, and it was so entire-
ty unexpected that the murderers had
emptied their carbines and revolvers
glmost before the police knew what
was going on, and had turned to flee
into the crowds that now panic
stricken had pressed back before their
weapons. ‘Then the guard charged
upon them, pusuing them down the
streets and riddling three of them with
bullets. Hundreds of the people joined
in the pursuit and others of the band
of assassins were made prisoners.
The principal regicide killed has been
identified as Manuel Bulca, a sergeant
in the Seventh cavalry, and a teacher
in an elementary school For eight
years he acted as a private tutor in
this city. He was about thirty years
of age. The two other assassins who
were killed have been identified as,

store clerks, one being named Alfreda
Costa.
The royal carriage had by this time
been driven into the quadrangle, and |
the gates of the arsenal were shut.
The grief of the queen and Prince
Manuel was heartbreaking. Within a
few minutes the queen mother, the
Dowager Queen Maria Pia, the Duke of |
Opor‘s, the king's brother, and the
ministers of state assembléd, all weep-
ing bitterly.
Troops Restore Order.
The news of the assassination spread
like wildfire and thousands of people,
bewildered and terrified, poured into
the streets. Soon the troops and police
occupied all the prominent places and |
the people hurried to their homes and
barricaded the doors and windows to
await in fear the unknown future.
The strictest measures were taken by
suppress the slightest sign of disorder,
but their work was light. There have
been 10 disturbances in Lisbon in the
last twenty four hours, and Sunday
passed off only in the deepest gloom,
with the populace mourning on every
hand.
The bodies of king and crown prince
rest in the royal palace, and beside
them the queen sat throughout the
night, sometimes with her hand press-
ing the forehead of King Carlos and
sometimes stroking the face of the
dead crown prince. The condition of
the newly proclamed king, Manuel, is

that he suffers no pain.
The hodies of King Carlos andl!
Prince Luiz were embalmed and will
lie in state according to the custom of
the court. The funeral probably will
be held on Feb. 10.
Later came a solemn proclamation
by King Manuel IL, announcing that
he would uphold the constitution and
preserve the integrity of the kingdom.
Queen Amelie was visited by
Senor Pinto, ex-minister of war; the
chief of the Conservatives, the chief
of the Nationalists and a large number
of military officials, who expressed their
deepest sympathy. She has received
condolences from the rulers of many,
countries, and from every quarter
comes evidence to the Portugal court
that the crime that has carried be-
reavement with it is viewed with,
horror.
