ROYALIST FIGHT "
REGAIN THRONE
For King Manuel, Who Was
Driven From the Country
Two Years Ago.
Madrid, Spain, OH. 22.—The
Realists of Portugal have start
ed an uprising to overthrow the
present republican form of gov
ernment and lighting lias start
ed in all parts of the country. The
wires are down in every direction
and newspaper correspondents
are unable to get the use of the
few wireless stations to 'send out
details of the lighting; only vag
ue reports leak through and they
are mostly received by diplomat
ic circles. Little can be .'earned
as to who is having the best, of
the lighting. #
The streets ol Lisbon are run
ning with blood, Ihe lighting be
ing very severe, according lo re
ports received here. Thousands
of exiled Portuguese, who were
in Ihe city up to a few days ago,
have crossed the border and join
ed the army of King Manuel, who
has received millions of dollars
from file family of his wife to aid
him in recovering Ihe throne so
that lie may make her a (|uecn in
reality.
The (]ueen nf Portugal is a
ilislanl relative of the llollenzol
lers, the reigning house of Ger
many. She is a Catholic. The
outcome of the light in Portugal
will he watched with great in
terest here, and it is believed
King Alfonso will secretly aid his
neighbor to regain the - throne,
fearing the example of a repub
lic so near to Spain.
Thousands of troops have been
moved to the border, ostensibly
to maintain neutrality, hut il is
expected they will protect tin1 re
treat of the Royalists should they
be driven back by those loyal to
the republican government or to
give aid to the lioyalisls. should
il lie needed.

PANKHURST TALK
ONE BIG FROST
New York Suffragettes Do Not
Attend Her Lecture and Pro
c®eds a Disappointment.
________
New York, Oct. 22.-The speech
of Mrs. Emmerline Pankhurst at
Madison Square Garden wa> a
frost. Tile golden dollars dream
ed of by the militant leader dis
appeared in the slim audience
and she is greatly disappointed
at the interest taken by American
suffragettes in her lecture lour.
“The Urilish government,” said
Mrs. Pankhurst, “is to blame for
the violence of English militants,
because of the failure of the gov
ernment to grant the demands of
the women for the right to vote.
Had Ihe right of suffrage been
granted when asked for the de
struction of property by lire, the
blowing up of railroad stations
and attempts to dynamite parlia
ment would never have been re
sorted to, nor would Ihe plate
glass fronts of the merchants
have been smashed with the
hummers concealed in stock
ings."
Hut little enthusiasm was
shown the remarks of the aged
leader and it is possible that she
will not remain (lie three weeks
allowed her by the Department of
Immigration.
