2 TIIE MORXING OREGOMAX, TIIURSDAT. FEBRUARY 6, 190S. FRANCO RETIRES II TOTAL ECLIPSE Portugal Calm Now That Lib erty Has Been Re stored. KING HAS FINE CHARACTER Manly Disposition, Ivove of Sports, Devotion to Mother Ills leading Characteristics Shows Ad . miration for Americans. FRANCO HAS IXED ' TO SPAIN London, Feb. 6. A .D.cl&l dis patch from Lisbon to the Morning Telegraph say that the flight of Fr.uico Is fully confirmed. According to this dispatch, the ex-Premler left Lisbon In an automobile on Tuesday night and Is now In Galicla, Spain. LISBON, Feb. 6. The announced Inten tion of the new cabinet to put an end to repression and restore the "old liberal monarchy" which haa existed in Portugal for 60 years ' hag had a soothing effect on the country. Tranquillity Is reported from everywhere in the interior and to day Lisbon, basking in the brilliant sun shine, seems perfectly peaceful. Troops are less conspicuous on the streets of the city and, if the day of the funeral passes without incident, the present phase of the crisis through which the country is passing may be regarded as at an end. The willingness of Machado, the Repub lican leader and the Republicans gen erally to acquiesce in the present situ ation, if their friends are released, seems to ensure a return to less strenuous modes of political warfare. Generally speaking, aViother upheaval in ( the near future is considered practically impos sible. ' Franco In Total Eclipse. Intense interest is shown in Franco- whereabouts. The drama centers about him, but he remains in seclusfbn, seem ingly crushed In spirit. He declines to see correspondents to offer a defense of li is policy and to explain his downfall or lils decision to retire completely from the political arena. His elimination is re gretted by the commercial classes and foreign element, which are convinced that his sole object was the good af the country. v The young King himself believed in Franco. The day' after the tragedy, while unbosoming himself to a lifelong friend, he said: "I Intend to retain Franco. He was my father's friend and shall be mine." It is well known, however, that the dowager Queen has always been hostile to the' ex-premier; ' and latterly Queen Amclie shared the view that the dicta torship had been carried too far. She Is said, to have remonstrated with him that it nflght end In a tragedy and in voked in behalf of a milder course the memory of what her own family hnd suffered in France. On the day of the assassinations, amid the confusion of that memorable scene in the arsenal quad rangle, where the royal carriage took refuge, when beside herself with grief, she turned on Franco and cried "That is what 'your work has done." The reconciliation of these two utter ances with the influences behind them Is believed to furnish the true key to the secret of Franco's downfall. Manuel's Winning Character. The young sovereign's personality is described by those who know him as very winning. As a lad he displayed fine, manly traits. He had considerable artistic talent and, like' his father, was exceedingly fond of outdoor sports,, such as tennis, riding and shooting. He was reared with great care by the devoted Queen, who took the warmest interest in the education of the Princes, both of whom spoke English, French, Spanish and Italian perfectly. The King's tutor fings.the praise of the King and his dead brother. "They were ideal young men," he said, and then told an anecdote illus trating the King's gentle nature. As the Prince he had always spoken of the Quen as "her majesty." One day, however, he used the term "Mother," then he turned to the tutor and said: 4 "I thinx I like the word 'mother' best. 1 read last night that the Queen was lost in' the wife, the wife in the mother." He Greatly Likes Americans. It will be interesting to Americans that King Manuel is especially fond of America and Americans. In May, 1904, when he was appointed a naval ap prentice, an American squadron under Kear-dmlral Baker, then at the Azores, hastened its arrival a few days at the request of the American Min ister, Charles Page Bryan, in order to be at the ceremony. The Prince was overjoyed at the courtesy and, when speaking to Mr. Bryan since, seldom failed to recall the delight and pleas ure he had In the presence ot the American officers. Preparations for Funeral. Preparations for the funeral of the dead King and Crown Prince are rap idly nearing completion. Mr. Bryan has received the appointment of special envoy of America. He has transmitted the resolution of sympathy adopted by the American Senate to Foreign Minis ter Lima, who was especially touched by the appreciative form of the con dolence. The foreisrn newspaper correspond ents from London, Paris and Berlin are Hocking into Lisbon. They seem dis appointed at finding the country is not in the throes ot a revolution The outgoing telegraph lines aheadv are swamped, and there are many delays incident to the flood of messages. In creased precautions have been taken by the authorities to prevent the spread of false or alarming reports. Both commercial and press telegrams are examined .to see that they conform to the . regulations forbidding the trans mission of anything inimical to the public security or irreverent to the royal family. Preparing to Call Parliament.' Premier Ferreira do Amaral held a lengthy conference today with ex Premier Castro and Senhor Vilhelna, respectively the leaders of the Progres sist and Regenerator parties, on what measures should be 'taken for speedy re-establishment of a parliamentary regime, in which efforts the ministry is receiving the support of the press almost without exception . The leading partisans of the pre tender. Pom Miguel, have called at the p&tace and offered their condolences. All', the governors of provinces and other high officials have sent in their resignations. Revolutionists Still Easy. In spite of the present tranquillity throughout the country, there are pes simists who believe that revolutionary activity is more widely spread than appears on the surface and that the situation is not improved by -the com bination of a. young and inexperienced King under the domination of an adored mother with reactionary cleri cal tendencies, a makeshift ministry and a Premier who is a Socialist rather than a statesman. The pessimists have found an addi tional argument in the report that Franco, although his downfall Is com plete, does not intend that the cam paign which he undertook shall be abandoned. He Is arranging for the selection of a new leader for the Re generator Progressist party. The decision not to expose the bodies of the late King and Crown Prince to the public at the palace tomorrow, but only at the church after the cere monies, also is Interpreted as ah evi dence of nervousness in high places. The Cabinet today proceeded with the work of demolishing the measures promulgated through the dictatorship. The commission appointed under the dictatorship to replace the elected mu nicipal officials has resigned. Mob Attacks Franco's Father. Francois father was attacked by a mob In one of the principal streets today. The King has signed three decrees. One of these repeals the decrees is sued by Franco which restricted the freedom of" the press, another repeals a decree issued on January 31 which suspended the privilege of Immunity from prosecution ' of members of Par liament and extended the powers of the criminal examining Judges. The members of Parliament will now be liberated. The Official Gazette will publish these decrees tomorrow. PROGRAMME OF THE FUVERAIi Splendid Mourning Procession Through Streets of Lisbon. LISBON, Feb. 5. The funeral of the late King Carlos and Crown Prince Luis on Saturday will be attended with cere monies of impressive dignity and with a display of all that mourning pageantry which attends the obsequies of Portuguese monarchs. The ceremonies will begin at 10 o'clockMn the morning. , From the chapel at the Necessldades palace, where the bodies have reposed since February 1, stalwart servants of the house of Braganza, in the presence of the high officers of the palace and of state, the special ambassadors and representa tives of foreign sovereigns and states, will carry the coffins from -their resting place to the funeral carriages. In front of the coffins will march the high church dignitaries carrying upraised crosses; the royal, civil and military households and the ministers, peers and deputies. Fol lowing the coffins will walk the Queen mother and her son. King Manuel, after whom will come the ambassadors. Heavy Guard of Troops. From the Necessldades palace to the church of San Vincenta de Fora, where the services will be held, the funeral cortege will move slowly through streets heavily guarded by troops. The distance is about two miles. A picket of munici pal cavalry will precede the cortege. At its head a military "band will march, play ing dirges. The carriages of the civil governor and : the ministers will follow, and then will' corn .-the stata carriages, eadtr drawn by eight horses,, covered with black trappings. The first of the state carriages will be occupied by the suites of the ambassadors, and others will con tain the officers of the regiment of the late King and of the regiment of the Crown Prince. In another following will ride the majordomo of. the palace and other officials. 1 King May Be n Procession. If the health of the King will permit, he ''will ride in the carriage following that of the majordomo, probably accompanied by the Duke of Oporto or other royal personages. The Imperial crown of the dead King, with, its covering of crepe and surrounded by flowers, will rest in the following carriage, after which will come a carriage bearing the sword and helmet of King Carlos, - which likewise will bear crepe and be decorated with floral tributes. The members of the Roman Catholic hierarchy will ride in the next carriage, after which will be drawn the "carriage of respect," literally buried in wreaths and flowers sent as tributes to the memory of the dead King and his son. Coffins Buried In Flowers. The coffin of the King, almost' Invisible under the burden of wreaths and flowers, will be borne on the following carriage. A guard of honor will ride on either side of the Imperial funeral car, as will also be the case with the carriage bearing the coffin of the Crown Prince, which will follow immediately after that bearing the coffin of King Carlos. A body of troops composed of every branch of the army cavalry, artillery and infantry will march behind. i When the church of San vincente de Fora has been reached, the bodies will be received at the main entrance by the brotherhood . of Misericordia, the arch bishop and all bishops of Portugal, with upraised crosses. Following the. coffins, the new King and the princes of the house of Savoy, Hohenzollern and Bour bon will walk. The King will proceed to the tribune prepared for him and the Queen-mother, while the princes will oc cupy a tribune facing the royal box. Scene in the Church. San Vincente de Fora. built upon one of the numerous ridges which run at right angles to the Tagus river, is one of the most conspicuous objects of the Por tuguese capital. The interior, severe in its simplicity, renders it specially adapted for such services as those now to be held in it. Under the cupola on either side of the church two galleries have been con structed and draped similarly to the church itself. That on the left, looking toward the altar, is reserved for the dip lomatic corps and the special ambassa dors. On the opposite side is a gallery for the peers of the realm, the Deputies and members of the principal scientific bodies of Portugal. The catafalque, also draped in L.ack and gold, will be in front of the altar, and on this will rest during the obsequies the coffins of the King and Crown Prince. In a tribune, to the right the Queen mother and King Mauel will sit. To tne left of the altar is the throne of the cardinal patriarch, and on either side of the catafalque will be the members of the royal houshold, the councillors of state, the ministers and ex-ministers and naval and military officials of high rank. The funeral services will be conducted by the cardinal patriarch of Lisbon. Be fore granting absolution a short allocu tion in praise of Dom Carlos and Crown Prince Luis will be delivered by him. Lay Bodies In Pantheon. After the bodies have lain in state in the Church of San Vincente de Fora the coffins will be carried through the clois ters to the royal Pantheon, where rest the remains of the princes of the illus trious house of Braganza. The Queen mother and King Manuel will follow the bodies of their beloved King to the last resing place. The major domo of the palace will then swear that the bodies in the coffins are those of King Carlos and Crown Prince Luis, and they then will be placed in niches prepared for them. When this has been done,' tne infantry stationed outside the Pantheon will then fire volleys and a salvo of 101 guns from forts and salutes from men-f-war in the harbor will announce to the people of Lisbon that the solemn ceremonies are at an end. . wmi KING OJT FATAL- JOTJIOfEX Minister Tells 'Story to Edward, Death BIowto Republicans. LISBON, Feb. 5. King Edward heard the story of the Lisbon tragedy tonight from the Marquis de Soveral, the Portu guese Minister, who made part of the fatal Journey with King Carlos. The Minister reached London this evening., having left Lisbon. ' Sunday night with messages from the newly proclaimed King Manuel, and Queen Amelie to King Edward.' The Marquis had been with the royal family at Villa Vicosa and re turned to Lisbon ' with it, crossing the Tagus on the same steamer. He bade the King farewell at the landing and drove to his hotel.- Five minutes later he heard the news of the assassination. Speaking of the visit of the British ships to Lagosa, the Marquis said it -had been the intention of King . Carlos to review them. The Morning Telegraph's Lisbon corre spondent states that there is no sign ot any abnormal movement. The Repub licans are quiet even at Oporto, and they confess that the assassins 'dealt a ter rible tlow to the Republican cause, not only in Portugal, but throughout Eu rope. TRIES TO THRASH FRANCO Carlos' Brother Holds Him Respon sible' for Assassinations. LONDON, Feb. B. The Madrid cor respondent of the Evening Standard, says In a dispatch that a decree de claring a general amnesty and abolish ing previous dictatorial enactments was gazetted In Lisbon today. The correspondent says that the Duke of Oporto, brother of the late King, was present at the State Council held In Lisbon after .the assassina tions. The Duke charged Franco with responsibility for the death of the King and Crown Prince. He even at tacked Franco and tried to strike him in the face, but members of the Coun cil intervene and the men, were- sep arated. TO ADHERE TO CONSTITUTION Young King Talks Modestly of In experience In Statesmanship. LISBON, Feb. 5. King Manuel has ex pressed in the strongest terms to his min isters his determination to adhere un swervingly to .the constiution and never under any circumstances to resort to a dictatorship while he reigns. King Manuel uttered the following touching words to a statesman who was among the first to offer his services: "I am terrified at the. death of my father and brother, and especially at the death of my brother, whom I greatly loved. He was mueh more capable to reign than I am. His education had pre pared him to govern; his recent trip through the Portuguese colonies was part of that education, while only yesterday I was taking music lessons and have been given no such special education for king, ship. But my heart and life, all I have and shall have, I will give to the people for their happiness and well-being." Spanish Cruiser at Lisbon. MADRID, Feb. 5. The Spanish cruiser Princessa de Asturlas has arrived at Lis bon. Many Portuguese Republicans re siding in Madrid have left the city, fear ing arrest by the Spanish police. Sev eral Portuguese suspects have been ar rested at Saragossa. British Warships in Portugal. LAGOSA, 'Portugal, Feb. 5. Four British cruisera arrived here today and anchored In the harbor. TURNS 01 FORMER PALS HCESTOX'S 'ASSISTANT TELLS OF CAPITOL FRAUDS. Form of Certificate of Furniture Changed to Throw Responsibil ity on Architect, HARRISBURG, Pa., Feb. o.-Joseph M. Hueston virtually turned state's evidence iby proxy against his co-defendants San derson, Snyder, Mathues and Shumaker in the trial for conspiracy today in the Dauphin County Court. . Through his assistant, Stanford B. Lewis, the architect, who remained in seclusion in his. room at a hotel near the Courthouse and was accessible only to his lawyer and confidential friends, gave damaging testimony against Sanderson and the ex-state officers. Judge Kunkel dispensed with tomor row's session to allow one of the Jurors to attend the funeral of his brother's child. Lewis gave testimony to show that while the original form of the certificates of Hueston was the same as those used by other architects, the form of Hueston's certificates was so changed by direction of Snyder as specifically to include weights and measures. The prosecution claims that the change In the form of the certificates was made so the responsibility for checking up the furnishings would be shifted to the architect instead of being on Snyder and Shumaker, who were by law required to certify to all furnishings delivered to the Capitol. REFUGEES IN .CONSULATES Hajtlen Government Demands Snr render of Revolutionists. WASHINGTON, Feb. 5. According to cable advices received by the State De partment from Haytl, no less than 250 of the participants in the late uprising are now in asylums In the foreign con sulates at Gonaives. .- Only four of the refugees, however, are In the American vice-consulate.
