BOY DROWNS SHOWING SKILL
Lad Sinks in View of Man
Watching from Shore.
In his anxiety to show a strange man
what a pood swimmer he was. ten-year
old Peter Brinckman threw aside all
caution yesterday afternt*m as he swam
In the North River/off V_'4th street, and
was drowned. Harbor policemen
grappled for his body, but up to a late
hour last night had not found it.
After school Peter, his five-year-old
brother William and a chum went to
swim. They paddled around the rocky
shore for a time and then Peter, who had
recently learned to swim, swam out from
shore. A man who had been standing
near the water asked him to see how far
out he could go. Peter struggled out for
about forty feet and then started back.
He was suddenly taken with a cramp
and went under.

THREE CADETS FACE
SUMMARY DISMISSAL
West Point Board of Inquiry
Finds Them Guilty of
Longan "'Silence."
ONE' ARMY OFFICER'S SOM
Findings Go to Secretary of War
and President — Longan May
Seek Other Duty — Cadets
Tell Grievances.
[By Tel^eraph to The Tribunal
West Point. N. V.. Oct. s.— The board
of inquiry appointed to investigate the
"silencing" of Captain !><>npan by the
corps of cadets, has completed its work,
and If its findings are approved by the
Secretary of War and the President.
three- cadets will be dismissed. All of
them. are members of the first class, who
would have been graduated and commis
sioned second lieutenants next June.
These men have conduct records that
stand ' against them, and It 1? partly
due to this fact that the board of in
quiry has recommended their dismissal
from the service.
< It is expected here that Captain I.on
pan will voluntarily ask to be assigned
to his regiment or some other duty.
Officers at the Academy say that his use
fulness as a discipline officer has ceased,
Eince the cadets have shown in the most
forceful way at their command that they
have no respect for him.
One of the cadets whose dismissal, it
is said, has been recommended is the son
of an army officer of high rank. He has
been In trouble several times before.
The board of Inquiry found great diffi
culty in getting to the bottdro of the
trouble. The cadets, according to their
testimony, had felt for some time that
they had not been treated fairly by
Captain Longan. As the list of their
grievances. r.al or imaginary, at the
hands of this officer grew, [the feeling
against him became more and more in
tense, until It was proposed by several
members of the senior class to give him
•the aUence." This suggestion was not
immediately approved by the corps, and
it was not until ten days or two weeks
after it was first made that it was
finally approved.
ofllcers stationed at the academy say
that the cadets made their greatest mis
take when they repeat, d the original
-alienee." That action went fur toward
taking away from them any sympathy
thai they might otherwise have had; and
furthermore the, second "silencer made it
Impossible for General Barry, the new
superintendent, to deal with the corps
lightly. Had the cadets contented them-
Kleves with the original 'silence- and let
it go at that. it is considered highly im
probable that any heavy punishment
would have been inflicted.

The feeling at the academy appears to
be that Captain J.onpran did not use the

WHERE IS KING MANUEL?
London Hears He Is in Dozen
Places at Same Time.
I B] I'Ahh-' t.i Tat Tribune, i
London, Oct. &.— Where is King Man
uel?
While it Is definitely knrwn thai the
revolutionaries have won the flay in
Lisbon and a republic has been pro
claimed, there is considerable mystery
as to the fate of the fugitive sovereign.
At one and the same time he is reported
to have fled to a dosen different places.
According to the British Minister at
Lisbon he is at Mafra, eighteen miles
northwest of Lisbon.
This news, if true. •The Morning Post"
think.-. has considerable importance.
Mafrs is » palace, a (church and ?• bar
racks, all in one vast building. It Is sit
uated among the mountains and th°
loyalty of the garrison would create a
dim. -i!t situation for th« King's eneaalem
The army is distributed In small gar
rison towns throughout the country
which may not follow I,ishon's lead.
Oporto, for example, is traditlonallv
jealous of the capital, and as the King
has been very popular there a provisional
government is not yet entitled t-> count
upon the northern city's support.
But the peasantry is not likely to b<%
very agitate f j hy any change in th»» form
of government so long as they tan live
under reasonably fair conditions.
There is reason to fear that the out
break in Portugal may have reflex action
in Spain, although in many respects the
positions of Spain and Portugal are very
different. For instance, the po^er of the
clergy in the latter country is hy no
means so important as that of the clergy
in Spain.
It is reported that the King's open
partiality for a famous French actress,
on whom he showered jewels, hastened
the crisis.
MAY MEAN__CIVIL WAR
Correspondent Says Army and
People Show Spirit of Loyalty.
London. Oct. ."> -According to Madrid
dispatches the garrisons at Oporto and
oiher tarsre towns in Portugal remain
loyal, and there is likelihood of the Lis
bon coup d'etat being followed by civil
war.
The British Foreign Office late to-night
received a telegram from the British
Consul at Oporto stating that all was
quiet.
A "Times" correspondent who has just
returned to London from Lisbon re
marks that a strong loyalist spirit was
shown by the populace and army during
the festivities in connection with the
celebration of the centenary of the bat
tle of Busaco. and says that If the King
has escaped and his entourage shows
resolution it »s almost certain that they
will be able to make a fight against the
Republicans, who really only dominate
Lisbon. All dependa on the officers in
charpe of the forces outside of Lisbon
civil war. the correspondent adds, bf
tween the capital and the country is a
probable outcome of the present situa
tion, and if it should occur there seem*
no reason why the republic, backed by
a Lisbon mob. should be able to domi
nate the rest of the country.

new President. The "Portuguese Marseillaise" is the new national
anthem, and the emblem of monarchy on the palace ha- been replaced
by the flap; of Red and Green, the colors of th • Republican part}.
That there was fierce fighting in the streets of Lisbon is confirmed
by dispatches from ail quarters. Disorders at Oporto have been re
pressed by the troops, many regiments of which are said to be still
loyal to the King.
King Manuel, the Queen mother and the Queen Dowager are re
ported to have taken refuge in the palace at Mafra. a short distance
out of Lisbon. They may now be on a British warship bound tor
(iibraltar. At least they are considered to have reached a plat oi
safety.
London advices State that by a treaty of alliance (treat Britain
i- bound to afford protection to the Kins: of Portugal, it this is '"'iutv
applied for." The French newspapers are uigifj the government of
France not to permit intervention, even if Spain, too. is threatened
with an overthrow. The French Cabinet will meet to-morrow to
deliberate on the Portuguese situation and the advisability of sending
a warship to Lisbon.
