THE WASHINGTON HERALD SUNDAY JUNE 23 1907 DOM MIGUEL PEN OF THE MAN WANTS TO Bt KING OF PORTUGAL SKETCH WHO While the public on both skIes of tho Atlantic is familiar with the character the history of Don Carlos pretender- to the throne of Spain and of the Duhe of Orleans and Prince Victor Napoleon rival claimant of the crown of France little or nothing te known of Dom Miguel of Braganza the pretender- to the throne of Portugal Until a few weeks ago he has been content to live In relative obscurity In Austria where his ties of kinship with the Ilapeburgs have caused him to be treated as a relative of tho imperial family almost as one of Its members In fact he has received the colonelcy of a crack Huessr regiment und the Order of the Goidon Fleece pre- cisely as if he had been an Austrian archduke Born in Austria in 1SB and educated in that country he has been looked upon up till now as an Austrian in all but name and title and more- over believed to be so thoroughly con- tented with his lot that something akin to amazement has been created at Vienna by his public announcement that he has never renounced his claims to the throne of Portugal and that when the hour arrives he will be ready and delighted- to take possession thereof In one word he has blossomed forth as a full fledged pretender and since there Is a large party in Portugal that is championing his cause and clamoring for his procla- mation as lanE in the place of Dom Carlos whose position is critical in the extrme a brief sketch of Miguel may- be of timely interest Dom Miguel is often described as stand ing for legltimtem in Portugal in the same way that his fellowpretender Don Carlos does in Spain But their position Is entirely different True they both on JW the support of the clergy and reli- gious order to whom they have promised a restoration of the prerogatives power and property of which they have been de- prived by liberal governments For much the same reason they have the sympathy of the great territorial aristocracy whose c Mn rights have been reduced to a minimum by radical legislation But whereas on the other hand in Spain tie order of the succession to the crown was altered by King Ferdinand VII in of his daughter Isabella without nnv regard to the hereditary rights of Ms brother the original Don Carlos on the other hand the late Dom Miguel who reigned for a time as King of Portugal before being compelled to ab di i and to leave the country had paired possession of his throne by a vhlly indefeasible act of usurpation by tli violation of all his most solemn lodges to the meiabers of his family f i his people and to the great powers Moreover while there has never been any question raised as to the birth of the younger brother ft King Ferdinand- of Spain there are very serious doubts as to the legitimacy of Dom Miguels fdthT the reprobate exKing Miguel of Portugal nd th was FIr t ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ As for the present Dom Miguel he ic only in part of royal Mood For his tvntlier who survives as a Benedictine rin did not belong to any of the reign ng louses of Europe but merely to one of the of the mediatized nobility bring a princess of Loweaatein Werthelm It was a nephew of hers Prince Ix wen of Wcrthelm who was killed in the Philippines in 1W while fighting in the ranks of the insurgents against the AmTican troops As stated above lorn Miguel was born in Austria Bonw twenty years after his fathers exile from Portugal and alt told he has spent but three days in Portugal whirh he visited secretly at the close of the BosnianHeraogovinlan campaign narrowly escaping arrest Of his six sisters the eldest is married- to Don Alpbonse of Bourbon the only brother of Don Carlos The second is Archduchess Maria Theresa widow of the Austria Emperors brother Charles Louis airl stepmother of the heir apparent- A third sister is the wife of Duke Charles Thpodore of Bavaria the celebrated ocu- list and a sisterinlaw therefore of the late Empress of Austria and of the of Naples Another sister of lv m Miguel is the consort of the reign- ing grandduke of Luxemberg while still a rift her sister has as husband Robert of Bmirbon exsovereign duke of Parma Dom Xiguel himself has been twice rcirrte his first wife having been a princess of Thurn and Taxis while his jr ent helpmate belong to the family as his mother namely that of Iiwnsteln WerUteim ITo has two sons sad it is to be hoped f r the sake of Portugal that neither of ti fin will ever be intrusted with the con- trol cf her destinies as King For the rvind son Prince Francis Joseph of Erganta was arrested in London Horrible offense he visited Eng- land at the time of King Edwards coro- nation Indignantly repudiated and dis- owned by his kinsman Archduke Francis Ferdinand the Austrian heir apparent who was there as the representative of Emperor Francis Joseph the young prince wan subjected to the ignominy of several appearances In the prisoners dock of an Enrltoh metropolitan pollee court before the case was finally hushed up and stifle and the prince bundled out of the country It Is needless to add that his dismissal fron the Austrian army In which he held a commission as lieuten- ant of the Seventh crack regiment of ITussars promptly followed and that that time he has been to all intents and purposes a social outcast excluded from every reputable dub both in Aus- tria and elsewhere As for the elder of th two brothers Prince Michael he is regarded by many as responsible for the death of Prince Albert of Saxony the youngest brother of the present King of Saxony Prince Michael had been dining not wisely but too well at a country house In the neighborhood of Dresden On his driving back to town he overtook the equipage of Prince Albert and either through carelessness or else in pursuance of some Sunken Idea of fun caught his wheels in those of Prince Alberts with so much violence that it was overturned into the ditch Prince Albert its occupant sustaining such injuriesthat he 5iccumoed thereto a few hours later Fo great was the penitence and sorrow ts iblted by Prince Michael for having lieon the cause of Alberts death that he vas permitted to retain his commission in the Saxon army But ho was per- emptorily dismissed a year later when It was brought to the notice of the German xovernment that during the absence of King Carlos of Portugal in England the prince had availed himself of the opportunity and of his own leave of absence to travel extensively through Portugal for the purpose of assisting in the organisation of an insurrection against King Claries Since then unable to secure a eomiateeton in any other army anti SHRertag from a social buy families me Co- ra hen tin r Queen inc car- riage > ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ = cott almost as severe as that against Ills younger brother ho might like the lAtter gladly avail himself of the oppor- tunity afforded by n change of govern ment at Lisbon to transfer his home to a country where the present generation of the Braganzas are not so known It is extremely probable that Dom Miguels recent proclamation of himself as an active pretender to the throne of Portugal will be followed by a demand on the part of Emperor Francis Joseph that he should resign his commission as colonel In the Austrian army For the Emperor while perfectly reedy to accord hospitality In his dominions and generous treatment to sovereigns who for one reason or another have lost their thrones and to their families refuses to permit his hospitality to be abused by or to allow them to plot on Austrian soil against sovereigns with whom he Is on terms of friendship The Duke of Braganza Is a strikingly handsome man and very accomplished being in this respect a great credit to the Jesuits who are responsible for his education Ha showed himself a dashing officer of Austrian cavalry in the sup- pression of he insurrection of Horzogo and Bosnia and is one of the clever- est sporting shots in Europe having hunted big game in India and in Cen tral Africa as well as in tho Rockies As for his claims to the throne of Portugal they can only be described as based on usurpation and I have before me as I write this the copy of a memorandum dated September 25 182S addressed to Emperor Francis of Austria by the great Prince Metterntch the most vigorous champion of the principles of legitimism In the nineteenth century and in which reviewing the situation Irf Portugal he declares in the most positive manner that Maria da Gloria was the only lawful heir to the Portuguese throne and that her uncle King Miguel father of the present of Braganza had no ves- tige of right of claim thereto and could only be regarded a a usurper In fact when the late nom Miguel proclaimed himself king at Lisbon in the place of his niece Austrian ambassador was at once withdrawn by the chancellor Prince Metternlch and all diploma tic in tercourse broken off with the court of Lisbon The Dom Miguel was the putative son of King John VI who had developed such a fondness for Brazil while living there as prince regent that he refused to quit Rio de Janeiro on his accession to the throne of the two coun- tries after the death of his crazy mother Queen Maria Franc In 1814 King John was fom happy In his marriage Iris wife a Princess Carlotta of Spain who preceded him to Lisbon was a most dissolute woman and made no pretense of concealing her animosity toward him and toward her eldest son Prince Pe- ter reserving all her affection for her youngest son Dom Miguel who it Is saW could not by any noseiWIIty have been the offspring of the King pretend- ers Duke the late far via ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ It WItS TOt until six years later King John sailed for Portugal his de- parture from Brazil being signalized bj the latter proclaiming Itself an indepen dent empire altogether separate from th mother country and electing his ekfe son Peter as its first emperor On John reaching Lisbon he hiimelf in favor of modifying the abso- lute character of tHe monarchy granted his people a parliamentary con stitutton on the English model found himself by the opposi Hon of his queen sad of her son Don Miguel who raised an Insurrection against him in the course of which his greatest friend the liberalminded Marquis 01 Louie author of the new constitution- was assassinated and his associates im- prisoned The king eventually succeedet in effecting his escape to an English man ofwar at anchor in the Tagus and wai subsequently restored to his throne bj the great powers of Europe who ex- pelled Dom Miguel and his mother Queen Carlotta A year later King John after establishing his daughter IsabelU Maria as regent sailed for Rio where he acknowledged his eldest son Dom as Emperor of Brazil and diet there a couple of years later On his de- mise Dom Pedro ruler of the indepen- dent Empire of Brazil found himself King of Portugal also But in deference to the Jealousies of his Brazilian sub- jects he resigned his throne of Portuga- to his sevenyearold daughter Maria tU Gloria on the condition that on attain- ing suitable age she should marry her uncle Dom Miguel whom he hoped to convert thereby from a source of dan ger to a source of strength to his child throne In 1827 Dom Pedro foolishly allowed himself to be persuaded by Miguel to nominate him regent during the of the little queen No sooner hat Miguel secured this appointment than IK proceeded to expel the child from country antI to proclaim himself king getting rid of all the political adherent and liberal statesmen who had identified themselves with the policy of King John and Dom Pedro Many of them were pul to death Executions were frequenL Thousands were deported to penal set- tlements in Africa and at one moment there were near H 8000 people in prison for political offenses Gen Villareal one of the ranking officers of the army de- clined to be a party to the use of the military forces for purposes of political prosecution and calling upon King Mig- uel demanded to be relieved of hit exclaiming From now on Portu gal will not need honorable soldiers but merely hangmen Beside himself with rage King Miguel let fly his fist In face of the general shouting Here if for your soldiers Before any one could Interfere and quick as lightning the vet aran returned the blow with the swinging box on the ears which sent the monarch reeling exclaiming And there is for your majestys hangmen The general was at owe seized tried by courtmar tial and sentenced to death But before the sentence could be executed the prison In which he was confined was stormed by it mob of students soldiers and citizens and he was set at liberty and enabled to escape from the country This is I be- lieve the only instance on record of a king having his ears publicly boxed Pedro was at length led by the condition of aftatrs at Lisbon to resign his crown of Brazil to his infant son lad sailed for Europe to champion the ause of his daughter as Queen of A civil war ensued which tested Tor nearly two years and finally in 19 Dom Miguel and the remnant of his army were captured and in consideration of Us life being spared he solemnly ab- jured all claims to the throne of and undertook never to set foot on Portuguese soil again Dom Pedro proclaimed his young daughter of ige and his fathers old friend the Duke of Palmclta as prime minister re that King pronounced and but confronted Pe- dro the com- mand the Dom Por- tugal Portu- gal there- upon minor- Ity ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ established a parliamentary form of gov- ernment on the basis of the constitution granted by King John and which had been suspended during Dom Miguels ab- solutist usurpation One of the first things that tho national legislature did was to declare Dom Miguel and his heirs forever Ineligible to succeed to the throne and enacted a law decreeing death againstany member of his familj who returned to Portugal Dom Pedro did not long survive the victory and died n low months later at Lisbon leaving o namo which is honored to this day nUke by Portuguese and Brazilians Maria de Gloria in the following year married Au gustus de Beauharnttls Duke of Leueh tonberg son of that Eugene ds Beauhar nals who was the son of Empress Jo- sephine After two months of marriage ho died and not long afterward Quoen Maria da Gloria contracted a second marriage with Prince Ferdinand of SAxeCoburgGotha This marriage a happy one Prince Ferdinand who was proclaimed king consort on his wedding day proved a wise counselor both to his wife and after her death to hit son King Louis The pres- ent King Charles is his grandson and there is still living an American lady a native of Boston who after the death of Queen Maria da Gloria became Ferdi nands second and morganatic wife She bears the title of Countess Edla KX ATTACH B- ONE RULE IS HELD SACKED Members of Swagger London Club Finally Fall However Shrewd Wniier Secure Tip When Lust of the 1lncc lit Broken

small game half a crown a hundred or something of the sort So they sought out a secluded corner and fell to Soon though they noticed one of the club waiters hovering around them casting stern and suspicious glances at Uie table He was a veter- an waiter 4 club landmark and they grew a little alarmed He might tell Finally they called the man over Joseph said the general what you suspect is true We are gambling And we want you to keep mum Alien all Joseph you have been with tb dab a good while and I dont suppose this is the lint time you have seen the rules broken General said Joseph qutatty
