"WAR AGAINST HUMAN VERMIN."

LISBON, Feb. 3. At the Council State King Manuel was greatly moved. He remarked:-— "Without knowledge or experience I -place myself in your hands, Telymg on y«ur patriotism and wisdom.' Thereupon Senator Franco and the leaders of the Progessionist and Regeneration parties offered to '.support him in the form of a monarist coalition. This was accepted. Senator Franco's Cabinet has resigned. Admiral Yerreira Do Arnaral has ■formed a coalition cabinet. It is a harmonious rally of all parties round the throne. It was welcomed with great satisfaction. ' ■' The newspapers represent that Manuel has always been popular. ■It is understood that the coalition will follow a policy or reconciliatioh and reforms. j The three dead regicides are all Portuguese. One named Costa was employed as an ironmonger. With a view to preventing a misun- 1 , derstanding only the Exmouth, one of: the cruisers will visit Tagus, instead of Admiral Curzon Howe's whole squadron which was expected in the ordinary course. •The tragedy has created a deep im-^. pression at Oporto. LONDON, Feb 3The news which was communicated at three o'clock in the morning caused King Eward and Queen Alexandra the greatest grief. Instead of dining with the Fife-Guard's, oificers at Knightsbridge, King Edward dined privately in the family palace. The Pall Mall Gazette says the lesson at Lisbon shows the need of an international agreement for war against human vermin.
