Republic Said to be Proclaimed at Oporto.
Particulars ot the Regicides.
MADRID, February 3.
King Alfonso was in Seville. He hurried to Madrid to condole with the Countees De Paris.
Reuter's Madrid correspondent says that the Journal El Mundo states that a republic has been proclaimed in Oporto. Neither confirmation nor denial is obtainable in official political circles. While deploring the tragedy, Madrid papers consider that the King's error and Franco's absurd policy were contributory to the tragedy. One dead regicide was a Spaniard, who was arrested recently in connection with the discovery of bombs, bub was released. One of the arrested regicides is an Italian, who was engaged in the orchestra at the Lyric Theatre. Another is a young well-dressed man. He is so nervous that the warders are afraid to entrust him with a knife and fork at meals.
The third man arrested ia a reporter, but he is apparently innocent. When in the Aisenal Queen Araelie sent a priest to console the dying.
