Franco resigned for fear that his continuance in office would plunge the country Into rebellion. The premier has been considered directly responsible for the political turmoil which resulted in the assassination of the king, and his withdrawal from power is regarded as holding a promise of political tranquility. A new cabinet has been formed under the presidency of Rear Admiral Do Amaral, a member of the Progressist-Dissident party. Some of the new ministers have notably been opposed to the rule of Franco, but on the whole the present cabinet is liberal, with monarchial tendencies. The opening session of the new council was held on Monday, and the young monarch. King Manuel II, placed himself in the hands of his ministers. He appeared before them and in a voice shaking with emotion. I am yet without experience either in science or in politics.

Second Son of King Also Badly In- -' jured, While Queen Amelie Hat , Narrow Escape From Death . . Lisbon in State of Uproar , , Lisbon. King Carlos of Portugal and the Crown Prince Luiz Phillippe were assassinated on Saturday and the city is in a state of uproar. The kings second son, Manuel, was slightly wounded, but Queen Amelie, who strove to save the crown princes life by throwing herself upon him, was unhurt A band of men waiting at thq corner of the Praco de Commercio and the Rua de Arsenal suddenly sprang toward the open carriage in which the royal family were driving to thei palace, and, leveling carbines which' they had concealed upon them, firCd. The king and crown prince, upon whom the attack was directed, were each shot three times and they lived only long enough to be carried to the marine arsenal near by, where they ' , , . expired.. Almost at the first shot the king fell back on the cushions dying, and at the same moment the crown prince was seen to half rise and then sink back on the seat Queen Amelie jumped up and threw herself toward the crown prince, in an effort to save his life at the cost of her v own, but the prince already had received his death wound. The tragedy occurred at about 5:30 iu the afternoon, as the royal family was returning from the Villa Vicosa, where they had been sojourning. A strong guard was in attendance, but as the party came into the Praco de Commercio, a public spare, the assassins leaped to the carriage ahd began shooting. In a moment all was terrible confusion, the king and crown prince being shot down Without the slightest chance to save themselves. Police guards sprang upon the regicides, the number of whom is somewhat uncertain, and killed three of them and captured three others. One of these committed suicide after being placed in prison. It is charged that one of the murderers was a Spaniard. The murder has sent a thrill of horror throughout the country, even among those who have been working politically for the establishment of a republic, and sorrow is expressed on1 every hand at the, dreadful end of the king 'and the crown prince. At the first blush it would seem as was the though the assassination work of anarchists and not of republican sympathizers. Nevertheless, the stirring events of the last few1 weeks have prepared the people for some startling culmination. The discovery of plot after plot, as well as the of many secret stores of weapons and ammunition, - had demonstrated beyond peradventure the existence of a determination on the part of a large body of the Portuguese Jo overthrow the present conditions and proclaim a republic. Among the first to be called info the critical situation created by the assassination was Premier Franco, lhe dictator of the kingdom. Franco was protected by a squadron of as he hastened to the palace, and there he conferred with the queen and high officials of state on what immediate action should be taken. It is understood that Queen Amelie will be regent dhring the minority of Prince Manuel, who is now in his nineteenth year. cold-blood- dis-30ve-iy Battleships at Punta Arenas.
