WRENEWAL OF ATTEMPT | TO OVERTHROW DYNASTY. | {Disaffection Extends to Several, Regiments, and More Sus- | pects Are Likely to Be Taken} Into Custody—Cashiered Of- ficers Behind the Movement. BERLIN, July 17.—A despatch to the ‘Cologne Gazette from Lisbon says that im number of officers of the Fifth Portu- @uese Infantry have been arrested on the charge of conspiring against King Charles, They will be tried by court amartial. Suspicions of a widespread conspiracy against the dynasty have been enter- tained for some time, the instigators be- dng officers who were cashlered some time ago. Other regiments are sald to ‘be affected. Exceptional efforts are being mada to letamp out the plot, as, with Servia's tragedy in view. the conspirators may fo to extreme lengias. Secret officers of the Government are now circulating in army circles and additional arrests ere expected. King Charles has hat to deal with other movements against him in the army similar to that reported to-day. In 1992 there were well-defined reports of @ conspiracy against Portugal's mon- arch and-a-regency was talked of. Vig- (Orous steps were taken to suppress the plotters, and while there were no public Prosecutions it was gaid that several ofiicials felt the wrath of the King. mong these were the cashiered army officers alluded to above. Still earlier in the history of the re- ported difficulties of the reigning dy- masty of Portugal were reports of al- Jeged differences of opinion between King Charles and Queen Marle Amelie ‘tp regard to the attitude of the King on the clerical question. These so-called differences related to the ‘treatment of rejigious congrega- tions. ‘The King’s attitude in the mat- ter was said to be antagonistic to the congregations, and for a time {t was rumored that she intended to go on a Journey. This did not prove true, how- ever, The Marquis de Pombal resigned the post of grand master of the court cere- monies in consequence of a decree of the King, which was taken as unfavor- ble to the congregations. Consideracle attention was attracted fo the affairs of the royal house of {Portugal by the visit of King Charles sto England in the winter of last year ,and his reception at Windsor Castle, {together with the return visit of King ‘Edward to Portugal last April. King Edward was received with much peremony by the nobility of Portugal. headed by the King. and the visit passed ff most successfully, ABNER M’KINLEY NOT PARALYZED, @tory of Illness of Late President's Brother Is Denied at His Office.

The skeleton of a child with a piece lof tape knotted tightly arou~* the neck was found to-day under ti» kitchen floor of the vacant house ai No. 67 West Ninety-third street. Tie police of the West One Hundredth sireet sta- tlon are tracing former tenants of the house in the hope of finding how the skeleton came to be there.

The house ts a three-story and base- ment structure of req sandstone an¢| of Elm 3, brick. one of a row of six. It was bought a short time ago by Charles J. 11 Broadway. He employed carpenters and plumbers to renovate the structure. How Skeleton Was Found.

He came across what Appeared to hea package wrapped in a worn white madras outing shirt. Davis pulled the parcel out and un- wrapped it. The skeleton fell on the floor. There was very little flesh on the bones and the manner of death was not apparent, although the tape around the throat would seem to indicate that the little one was choked to death. This tape is about an eighth of an inch wide of the sort used by women for drawing strings. It was wound time and again around the throat, each wrap being secured by a knot at the back, Examination shows that it would have been possible for the body to be placed where it wax found elthor by pulling up boards in the floor of the kitchen or removing Qoards in the ceil- ing of the cellar directly underneath. ‘The house has been vacant elnce early last January.

Davis, after his ghastly discovery, went out and galled Policeman Snyder, ahe who placed the body back in the position {t occupled when Davis first saw it. Coroner Scholer was called and made a superficial examination, He sald that he could not tell how long the child had been dead. He estimated its age to have been from one year to one year and six or seven months, Mr. Rothstein lves now at Seventy- ninth street and Amsterdam avemuc. He moved out o the Ninety-third street house over a year ago. “L lived In the house or two years,” said Mr. Rothstein this aternoon. “Just beore 1 moved in, the previous tenant had complained 6 the plumbing and some repairs were made, We. were rever troubled until about a. year az», when I thought that tne plumbing was out o shape. ‘The landlord said. that rather than tear up the house he would reduce the rent, but I did not care to stay.

This bulletin sustains the opinion expressed. by physicians to-day that the Pope would live for several days. The condition of the Pope has not changed materially since morning. The liquid in the pleura has not continued to rise and the doctors have decided to postpone the contemplated operation. Complete tranquillity prevails in the neighborhood of the Vatican, That the doctors did not fear immediate danger was indicated by thir bulletin issued at 9.30 to-day: His Holiness had during the night some hours of sleep, together with short periods of slight excitement. The level of the pleuric liquid is maintained within the limits already noted without seriously troubling the Fontiff. The personal condition of the angust patient presents no uoteworthy chauge. His pulsation is 88, respiration 30, and tempera- ture 36.5 centigrade, (Signed) LAPPONI. MAZZONI. At 4.10 P..M. the Pope received Mgr. Pifferi, his confessor, and then had a short sleep.

While h2 does nat, want any one constantly in the room, the Pontiff rings frequently for trivial causes, thus showing beyond doubt: his desire for companionship, He takes very frequently sips of meat broth, alternated with half- spoonfuls of chicken gelatine. When asleep the Pontiff appears to be dead. His cheeks are sunken, his eyes are hollow and his jaws are exceptionally prominent, the skin» being tightly drawn over the bones. When awake the Pope usually appears to .retain life only in his brilliant black eyes, though he recove ered the lucidity of his mind this morning and gave fresh proof of his wonderful memory, saying: “To-day is the fete of St. Leo.

After the visit of the doctors the Pope said he could not stay in ped, as it made him restless. His limbs were uncomfortable and he felt pains all over his body.
