PORTUGAL.
MANUEL'S POSITION EXPLAINED. London, Jan. 22. Manuel's Lord-inwaitin (Viscount Asseea) told the Daily Chronicle that Manuel, at the outbreak of the war, urged Portugal not to make any movement in his favor for the period of the war. The assassination of the President in December altered the situation, and threatened the country with chaos Manuel then placed himself at Portugal's, disposal. If the country wished him to return he would do so, regardless of difficulties and dangers, but he is in no way privy to the present movement. Manuel has been treated with infinite kindness by England, but he lived with the sole idea of returning to his throne. It must not 'be forgotten there are forty Monarchists Portuguese in Parliament. Madrid messages state that tho Portuguese Premier has taken over a portfolio. He was to have, visited Oporto, where he was arrested, but released when promised the support of the Monarchists. —Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assoc.
