ANARCHISTS PLOT
DEATHSOF RULERS
(V^nso.of Spain, and Manuel,
of Portugal, Marked Men.
It Is reported that secret warnings
have boon sent to the government officials
at Libbon that an attempt upon
the life of King Manuel Is llkoly to be
made upon his return from London.
rue Hpanlsii police In tracing the details
of tho widespread anarchist plot
for a campaign of terrorism have
found tliat not only are King AlfonBo
and King Manuel of Portugal marked
for death, but members of their governments
as well. It Is believed that
the conspiracy extends no farther
than the Iberian peninsula, but secret
service officials of other governments
are co-operating In the work of ferreting
out the conspiracy.
It Is reported that several have been
socretly arrested at Madrid, and there
nVe even hints that the conspiracy extends
to army circles.
The scheme embraces a goneral uprising
on the Iberian ponlnsula, without
regard to national houndarlAa. ?( -
cording to tlio facta already learned.
Only England's position ae a political
refuge prevented attempts on Alfonso
and Manuel in London during the obsequies
over King Edward. It was
upon advlce.s sent from Madrid, hawever,
that the Paris police, upon the
arrival of Manuel there, took extraordinary
precautions to guard the
Portuguese monarch's life. While no
specific statement has yet been made
aa to the connection of Tasczelll, the
,, ^ " victim of Monday's bomb outrage at
Madrid, with the plot, it is considered
certain that he was one of the Important
figures In what Is regarded as
the most systematic plan arranged by
the anarchists In years.
