PREDICTION BY MORGAN Alabama Senator Declares Bryan Can Be Elected. SILVER WILL WIN OUT. The Senator, In an Interview, Also Ex¬ presses His Opinion In Regard to Present War In Philippines. The Weshington Times of Friday’s issue contained the following author¬ ized interview with Senator Morgan from its special correspondent in An¬ niston, Ala.: “I think that the democratic party in the Chicago platform,” said Senator Morgan, “gave a free, full and clear expression of the democratic creed governing a number of subjects. I think we ought to abide by that plat¬ form, without any amendment or mod¬ ification. I shall be entirely satisfied with any nominee who will sincerely accept that platform as the basis of his political administration. Mr. Bryan is the leader of the party on the silver plank and he will be the* logical leader on the issue that will be formed, if the republicans succeed, as I suppose they will, in passing their currency bill. “If the republicans insist upon the legal enactment of the single gold standard, silver will be the predomi- Bating issue of the next campaign, The republicans will attempt to dis- guise the purpose and effect of their legislation, but the real question will be this: Shall the coinage of the silver dollar be prohibited and the legal ten- der power limited to $10 in one pay- menL On that question I have little doubt that every democrat and every bimetallist in the United States will vote for the democratic nominee. I think a silver man will be elected pres- ident. “I think the United ^ States govern- naent is doing everything that is re- quisite to crush out Aguiualdo’s in- surrection. There can be no doubt that Aguiualdo’s munitions of war are supplied by some combination some- where on the coast of Asia. That combination is fighting the United States for a mercenary and malignant purpose. T2ey are counting upon popular sentiment in the United States to recall the Ameriean troops and make terms with Aguinaldo. That expecta¬ tion is utterly vain and without any foundation, in fact. “The people in this country are sat- isfied with the results already accom- plished, and to be accomplished, by this war. They are determined to press it to a successful conclusion. We deplore the revolting features. We regret that innocent men are being led to their death by Aguinaldo and his selfish advisors, but that is only an incident in the suppression of any in- surreeticn. "I am of the opinion that Mr. Boot is going to make an admirable secre- tary of war. He is a very able man and a very fine lawyer, and he seems not to be involved in any of the compli- cations that have caused disturbance in army circles. “There will be no difference of opinion among the American people in regard to the war. Both leaders of the two great political parties—-Mr. McKinley, of the republicans, and Mr. Bryan, of the democrats—concur that the war must be prosecuted to a successful conclusion. No political party that opposes the United States government in its earnest attempt to Suppress the insurrection iu the Phil- lppiues will he sustained by the Amer- ican people, and I am satisfied that the democratic party oannot be led into that attitude.” FOR DEFENSE FUND. Union Printers Increase Monthly As¬ sessment Ten Cents Per Capita. By an almost unanimous vote the delegates to the International Typo- graphical Union convention, in session at Detroit, adopted a constitutional amendment increasing the union’s reg- ular monthly dues 10 cents per capita, the increase of revenue to go to the defense fund. The action must be ratified by the general membership. DEFEATED CANAL BILLS. Three Pet measures of Emperor Wil¬ liam Are Turned Down. The lower house of the Prussian diet Thursday by a vote of 212 to 209 rejected the second reading of the bill relating to the Dortmund-Bhine canal and the completion of the Dortmund- Ems canal. The lower house also de¬ feated the central canal bill by a vote of 228 to 126. Ten Per Cent Raise Refused. At a meeting of striking coal miners at Middlesboro, Ky., Thursday after¬ noon, they decided not to accept the offer of the operators which was a 10 per cent raise. They demand 12J. PRICE OF COAL ADVANCED. Scarcity of Commodity In Chattanooga Causes Dealers to Hedge. Chattanooga coal dealers have or¬ ganized an association in view of the existing scarcity of coal in all the mines of the district for the purpose of regulating the price of coat in that section. Thursday the association gave notice of an increase of 10 cents on the ton and notified customers that they could take no contracts for future delivery at present prices. NOW TEN REGIHENTS. Otis Will 5oon Have Sufficient Force to Conquer Fili¬ pino Rebels. A Washington special says: An order has been issued directing that ten addi¬ tional regiments of infantry volunteers he organized for service in the Philip¬ pines. The regiments will be numbered from thirty-eight to forty-seven and will be organized at the following places, in the order named: Fort Knelling, Minn.; Fort Crook, Neb.; Fort Riley, Kas.; Camp Meade, Pa.; Fort Niagara, N. Y. •, Fort Leaven¬ worth, Kas.; Jefferson barracks, Mis¬ souri; South Framingham, Mass. “Thp policy of the war department,” said Secretary Boot, ‘‘is to furnish General Otis with all the troops and supplies that he can use and which are necessary to wind up the insurrection in the Philippines in the shortest pos¬ sible time.” The secretary in speaking of the call said that no delay would be allowed in enlisting, equipping and supplying the new' regiments nor in transporting them, as well as the other regiments already organized, to the Philippines as soon as they were needed for aotive operations. If the present number of transports are insufficient more will be procured. The men already enlisted for the Philippine service will be sent at once and the new regiments will be for¬ warded as fast as they are organized and needed. While there has been some suggestion that the new regi¬ ments will be used as a reserve force, it may be stated positively that these regiments, as well as more, if they can be secured, will be sent to re¬ enforce General Otis. Secretary Boot sent a copy of the order to the various departments of the army and they at once began pre¬ parations for supplying the new or- ganizations. Within half an hour the ordnance bureau had sent orders to the different arsenals directing that complete outfits of arms and ordnance supplies for each regiment be sent to the rendez- vous where they are to be organized, The quartermaster’s department gave orders for supplying tents, clothing and other equipment’s furnished by that department, while the commissary dep«rtmeut ordered a sufficient supply 0 f rations to be on hand to feed the troops as fast as they arrive. The medical department was also directed to see that supplies were sent to the regiments to be recruited with the same care exercised in enlisting the first ten regiments, FIVE NEGROES JAILED. Charged With Burning Farmer’s Barn Near Senoia, Ga. Coweta county, Ga., officers arrested three negroes Thursday morning and carried them to jail at Newnan on the charge of burning the splendid barn with all its contents, forty-seven head 0 f fi ne cattle, one horse and mule, fi ogs> e t c ., belonging to Mr. E. L. Hardy, ne ar Senoia. Two negroes were arrested last week on same charge and subsequent developments and a strict watch has linked little by little of important evi- deuce, so that the whole gang is now behind the bars, After the arrest of Andrew Herndon, oue 0 f the gang, he feared lest the others might tell the whole story and put the largest part of the blame on him, he made a free and voluntary confession. He states that Lewis Brandenburg, George Eliot, Lint Lightner, Simon Jackson and himself suspected that Mr. Hardy had a large sum of money, as he was dealing largely in cattle and selling large quantities of brick, and between them fi a( j arranged to rob Mr. Hardy, even if they hau to kill him to accomplish their purpose. They k ae w Mr. Hardy kept a pistol and winchester close by him at night and they planned to fire the barn in order to decoy him from his house, when they expected to pounce upon him, kill him and then rob his house. Evil designs of a more serious nature may have been seriously contemplated also by these demons. Two negroes set the barn on fire while three were in ..... hiding to waylay Mr. Hardy and kill him, as he came to see about the burning barn, and ^te Mr. decreed Hardy differently, was n&t so however, easy to wake and the fire was discovered by the small son of a tenant on the Hardy farm.and who lived near the residence. DEWEY CJ1VES DATE Of His Arrival In N«w York—lt Is September Twenty-Ninth. At Thursday’s meeting of the com¬ mittee on plan and scope of th* Dewey celebration at New York General Butterfield read a cablegram from Ad¬ miral Dewey which effectually sets at rest all reports that the admiral would first go to Washington before the cele¬ bration in his honor in New York. The message was as follows: “Leghorn, August 16.—To General Butterfield, New York: Yours of Au¬ gust 1 st received, Will reach the lower bay without fail Friday, Septem¬ ber 29th. Beady for parade Saturday morning. Dewey.” PRECIPITATED INTO RIVER. Six Occupants of a Carriage fleet Death By Drowning. A carriage containing six persons, two women and four children, was precipitated into White river at Wash¬ ington, Ind., Thursday night as it was being driven aboard a ferryboat and all were drowned. The horse had just stepped aboard the ferryboat when the hawser parted and the boat swung out, dropping the carriage into the river. WHEAT GROWERS HOLD MEETING! Palmetto State Farmers In Confer- * I fsrence at Greenwood. ORGANIZATION PERFECTED Qathering Was Largely Attended and Program Interesting. The first wheat growers convention ever held in South Carolina began at Greenwood Tuesday morning. Six hundred farmers were in attendance and the convention was conducted up¬ on the lines of the recent Macon, Ga., meeting. Hon. A. C. Latimer, con¬ gressman from the Greenwood district, and a wealthy farmer, was elected president, and N. A. Craig, president of the Craig Boiler Mill at Greenwood, was elected president. Among those in attendance were some of the most prosperous and suc¬ cessful agriculturists in the state, while there were others who had never raised wheat, the latter of whom were present to learn, and listened intently to the advice of their more than ex¬ perienced brethren. Two farmers who farm in that sec¬ tion, gave their experiences at the morning session. They agreed that wheat can be raised at no more cost than cotton and there is good money in wheat. With land carefully pre¬ pared, twenty-five bushels of wheat is an average yield and little fertilizer is necessary to produce a larger yield. At the afternoon session the address of the day was delivered by C, H. Jor¬ dan, of Georgia, whose remarks were well received. He gave valuable in¬ struction* and advice. Short talks wrnre made by numbers of planters, detailing their experience with wheat and the best method of cultivating and raising the grain. A permanent organization was form- ed with Congressman Latimer us pres- ident and N. A. Craig, secretary. The committee on constitution consists of E. M. Seabrook, Charleston; S. H. McGhee, Greenwood; J. A. Peterkin, Orangeburg; J. H. Wharton, Laurens; J. F. Breeden, Marlboro; L. J. Wil- liams, Edgefield; W. T. J. Cunning- bam, Chester. This committee will arrange meetings for next year. TEROR1ZED BY WHITECAPS. Negroes In Vicinity of Phoenix, S. C., Are Being Nightly Whipped. For more than a week past a gang of so-called whitecaps has baen almost every night whipping negroes in Greenwood county, S. C. The Bection between Greenwood and Phoenix is a fine farming country, and is largely tenanted by negroes who rent from white landlords. It was at Phoenix, in that com¬ munity, thickly settled by negroes, that the election riot between the blacks and whites took place last November. Since then among lower class of whites there has been an un¬ relenting disposition to drive out the negroes. Monday night a week ago the whip¬ ping began. Negro houses were visit¬ ed and the inmates taken out and beaten. Several nights the past week this was repeated, and a wide terri¬ tory has been covered by the white- caps. The negroes are said to be in a state *f terror, and many spend the nights in the woods and swamps, while others seek protection at the houses of their white landlords. On last Saturday night 200 negroes spent the night in Greenwood, and many of them have never returned to their homes, fearing to do so. The better class of white people de¬ plore the state of affairs, and until now the matter has been kept quiet, but Tuesday the sheriff appealed to Gov¬ ernor McSweeney for assistance, stat¬ ing that as chief peace officer of the county, ho was powerless to suppress the lawlessness. The negroes are afraid to give information, and certain white men have been threatened if they take action against the white- caps. ^Lieutenant Colonel Is Woodward. The members of the First battalion of the Fifth regiment of the Georgia militia held a battalion drill at Atlanta Tuesday night and afterwards elected Park Woodward to the lieutenant col¬ onelcy of the regiment. TO INVADE SOUTH. Hiss Jewett May Come to This Sec¬ tion to Fight flob Violence. A dispatch from Boston, Mass., says: Miss Lillian Clay Jewett states that she expects soon to go south to carry on her campaign against lynch¬ ing which, she says, has not by any means ended with her bringing the Baker family north. She wiil proba¬ bly proceed first to Georgia and de¬ liver addresses in furtherance of her hobby. MAY EXTEND LINE. Rumor That Seaboard Will Build From Athens to Augusta. A surveying party of the Seaboard Air Line corps is in Augusta, Ga., and it is said will locate a route to Athens. Rumor has it that the Seaboard Air Line will build from Athens to Au¬ gusta, This route, it is claimed, would shorten the distance between Augusta and Atlanta. Cigar Combine Probable. Reports to the effect that a combina¬ tion of the leading cigar manufactur¬ ers in Key West, Tampa and Havana . is being organized are current in the tobacco trade in New York. HEETING CALLED. Southern Commissioners of Agri¬ culture Will Gather at New Orleans. Tko convention of commissioners of agriculture from the southern states has been called for September 2l)th at New Orleans. This date was agreed upon by Commissioner O. B. Stevens, of Georgia, Tuesday, after an under¬ standing with the different agricul¬ tural officials of the cotton-producing states. The convention has been called by the agricultural department of Geor¬ gia to consider the cotton outlook and discuss plans calculated to better the staple product of the south. It will be the first meeting of the kind ever called and the most distinguished gathering in many respects ever as¬ sembled to undertake the betterment of agricultural interests. Not only is it proposed to discuss the uniform and final classification of cotton, but to take up all other prop¬ ositions that look to the general good of the farming element. The movement to call the convention was started by Commissioner Stevens in the past spring. Colonel Stevens recognized that if anything substan¬ tial was to be done in the way of leg¬ islation for the farmers of the south it should be started at once. He communicated in time with the commissioners of agriculture of all the southern states and obtained from each of them an endorsement of his plan for an interstate cotton conven¬ tion. The program of the convention has been practically mapped out for the first day. Commissioner of Agricul¬ ture Leou Jastremski, of Louisiana, has been asked to act as temporary chairman of the convention and will be called upon for the opening address. The Governor of Louisiana has been requested to address the meeting the fir8t day, and his address will be re¬ sponded to by Governor Candler, of Georgia. Governor Candler is ... in hearty sym- P ath J 71 th the movement that has prompted and accepted the the call of the convention Tuesday invitation fc ° be present and speak in behalf of visiting commissioners 11 » probable that both Commis- sioner . Stevens and Assistant Comims- sioner Wright will be present to rep¬ resent Georgia, and both officials will go prepared to offer some plan to the convention that has in view the inter¬ ests of the farmers of the south. By calling the convention of com¬ missioners it is hoped that whatever relief measure is indorsed it can be made uniform throughout the south. It is realized at the start that any law- such as the passage of a uniform class¬ ification act by the legislature of any state would fail of its effect in case the measure was not adopted uniformly by the legislatures of all the cotton producing states. It is the opinion of Commissioner Stevens that something will result from the meeting of permanent good to the farming element of Georgia and of the south, and with this belief be has determined to be present at the convention and do all in his power to bring about prosperity in the southern states. GUERIN HOLDS THE FORT. President of Anti-Semite League is Now Outlawed. A special from Paris says: The war¬ rant for the arrest of M. Guerin, pres¬ ident of the Anti-Semite League, who with sympathizers, has been barricaded since Saturday last in the offices of the league, has been placed in the hands of Magistrate Fabre. Guerin is now regarded as an out¬ law in a state of rebellion since his uotification of the issue of the warrant. He cannot claim the right of a citizen of exemption from arrest from sunset to sunrise and the persons guarding the headquarters of the league, num¬ bering about forty, are in the same box. Strict orders have been given to ar¬ rest every one attempting to enter or leave the building. The prefect of police is still await¬ ing orders from the government in re¬ gard to the action to be taken against Guerin. The leading Jews of Europe are arranging for a meeting in Switz¬ erland to form an international associ¬ ation for their defense and to protect the Jews in France after the Dreyfus courtmartial is over. EXCITEilENT IN LITTLE ROCK. Five Assaults on Women Occur There In Space of One Day. Five Brutal assaults by a negro on white women occurred in Little Rock, Ark., in twenty-four hours. It is gen¬ erally believed that all these crimes were committed by the same negro, but four suspects have been arrested, and if the right man can be postively identified he may receive summary punishment. The four negroes an¬ swer the description given by some of the viotims. They are Ed Wright, Joe Gardner, Will Morgan and James Randle. Wright has been positively identified by Mrs Kennedy as the man who assaulted her. LABORI HAS FEVER. l Change Takes Place In Condition of Dreyfus’ Lawyer. The correspondent at Rennes of the Associated Press visited M. Labori Wednesday at the residence of Prof, Basch, who lives in an old rambling house, situated in a walled garden on the outskirts of Rennes. He found, unfortunately, that the w'ounded law- was worBe - A sh « ht fever haB »- tuTned - ARE COWARDS, SAYS TILLMAN South Carolina Senator Denounces Whitecaps. TOLBERTS ARE BLAMED For Persecution of Negroes 1 h Palaeito State -Fanners’ Institute Meeting In Greenwood Was Liv«Iy. Senator Ben Tillman was the speaker at the farmers’ institute U*ld at Green¬ wood, S. C., Wednesday. At the very beginning of his talk he pitched into the whitecappers, wbo hare been ter¬ rorizing a portion of that seetiou for the past ten days, whipptug inoffen¬ sive negroes. The senator calls them white cow¬ ards and said they were a disgrace to the county. He thought if the Tol¬ berts, the republican party leaders, were 8 till stirring up the negroes they ought to be dealt with. If you want to uproot th# evil and kill the snake, go kill the Tolbers, but don’t abuse the poor, innocent black wretches. “The yankees,” said the senator, are watching as closely and the eyes of the whole world are now on the race problem in the south. They will take advantage of everything of this kind to abuse the south. You are just play¬ ing into the yankee’s hands. They are wanting to cut down our represen¬ tation in congress because of our new election laws, but otherwise there is little better feeling now between the two sections, but this sort of thing will arouse bad feeling. Why, just look at that Jewett woman coming down here and taking away the nigger postmaster's family. She comes frem Boston, the head and center of all dev¬ ilment. The yankees are ready to take up any such deviltry as this whitecap¬ ping business, and yon people ought to put a stop to this.” The senator talked largely about agricultural affairs, but later got into national politics and denounced the Philippine war, sarcastically scorning McKinley's benevolent assimulation. “I have not asked for any army ap¬ pointment,” said he, “because I don’t think any decent man ought to engage in this outrageous war.” The senator bragged about his part in the armor plate hold-up, and be¬ fore he closed he made his usual at¬ tack upon the newspapers. Congressman A. C. Latimer, who represents the Greenwood district, was the other speaker. It was the contest of Latimer’s seat bp R, R. Tolbert, that caused the eleetiee riots at Phoenix last November, tte did not refer to the present race tregble, al¬ though he took occasion to attack the Philippine policy. For Vindication of Law. In the afternoon a mass meeting was held to denounce th* whitecap¬ ping. The prosecuting attorney of the circuit made the opening speech and the sheriff followed. They begged for the vindication of the law and the sheriff said he would arrest auybody if he only knew who to arrest, but he declared his inability to find out who was at the bottom of the trouble. Others spoke on the same line, but Bob Cheatham, who was one of the election managers at the Phoenix box last November, when Ethridge was killed by the negroes, exploded a bombshell. He cried excitedly: “I’ve got a remedy for the trouble. Drive out the Tolberts and whites and negroes -will live together peacea¬ bly. Kid the country of the Tolberts and you’ll stop the trouble. I’ll lead the crowd to rid the country of even the name or leave my wif* a widow.” Cheatham’s fire-brand talk was ap¬ plauded, but it was evident that the majority were against him, not believ¬ ing that politics is the cause of this disturbance. A man in shirt sleeves arose, and vehemently begged his neighbors to help him. Hie farm had been visited and all the negroes driven off by the whitecappers. His wife is sick from th* excitement caused by the raids. He has 175 acres of land in cotton and can’t get a negro to pick it. Even a well-digger he had temporarily em¬ ployed had been warned not to work for him. The speaker was P. B. Brooks, who is an industrious farmer living not three miles from the courthouse. Resolutions denouncing the white¬ cappers were adopted and a committee was appointed to investigate the trou¬ ble and report to another mass meet¬ ing to be held in the disturbed sec¬ tion. The negroes are still taking to the woods at night *ndmany of them have left their homes for good. It is believed that political troubles have caused the disturbance, as th* negroes have been quiet sine* the No¬ vember riots. PLOTTERS CLOSE PUSHBD. Antl-Dreyfusards Have a General Plan and Premeditate Assassinations. Joseph Beinach cables the follow¬ ing statement to The New York Journ¬ al and Advertiser from Rennes,France: “The shooting of Labori will warm up the atmosphere of the court, as it has disgusted honest men. “The attempted assassination is not the outcome of a weak mind; it is part of a general plan, is cold-blooded, premeditated amd paid for.” FIGHT AT CALULET. Twelfth Infantry Drives Rebels From Ano'her Philippine Town. A special from Manila says: The Twelfth infantry left Calulet at sunrise Wednesday and advanced up the rail¬ way, Captaiu Evans’,battalion deployed to the right of the truck ami Captain Wood’s to the left. Two companies remained on the track with the artil¬ lery. The insurgents were found well intrenched in front of the town, the trenches having been dug within a few days and since the occupation of Calu¬ let. At a distauce of 1,500 yards the Filipinos opened fire. Their force was estimated by Colonel Smith at 1,500, although the residents afterwards said it exceeded these figures by a thou¬ sand. The enemy sent heat y volleys against the whole American line. Moat of their shooting, as usual, w as high, but they concentrated their heaviest fire down the track upon the artillery. Colonel Smith kept the whole line moving rapidly, with frequent rushes. The insurgents attempted to dank Cap¬ tain Evans and therefore two compa¬ nies were sent to the right and drove them back. Unable to stand our continuous vol¬ leys, the Filipinos abandoned the trenches and retreated through the town northward. It appears that they had only received their supply of am¬ munition Wednesday morning, Had they been attacked sooner they could have made little resistance. The intense heat caused much suf¬ fering among the Americans. GROWTH OF THE SOUTH. Various New Industries Established During the Past Week. Among the more important of the new industries reported duriug the past week are a $50,000 steam bakery in Middle Tennessee; a 100-ton cast, iron pipe foundry in Alabama; coal mines in Arkansas and West Virginia; a $250,000 cordage factory in Louisi- ana; cotton mills in Alabama and North Carolina; a cotton seed oil mill in Mississippi; an electric light and power plant in South Carolina; a fer¬ tilizer factory and tallow refinery in Georgia; flouring mills in Georgia and Tennessee; foundry and machine shops in South Cat-oliua and Texas; a furni¬ ture factory in North Carolina; gas works in West Virginia; a knitting mill in Georgia; lumber mills iu North Carolina, Texas and Virginia; a $100,- 000 lumber and shingle mill in Louis¬ iana; a natural gas and oil company in West Virginia; a shoe factory in Geor¬ gia; a starch factory in Florida; a tan¬ nery in Georgia; a tannery acid plant in North Carolina; tobacco factories in Kentucky and North Carolina; zinc and lead mines in Arkansas.—Tradee- man, (Chattanooga, Tenn.) SCHEDULE OF DEBTS Being Arrangned By Creditors of the Black Diamond Railroad. Knoxville stockholders and direc¬ tors of the Boone-Black Diamond rail¬ road are making out a schedule of in¬ debtedness, which is claimed is due them by the railroad, and an effort is being made to have this amount, which will aggregate obout $125,000, .paid of the funds expected from Eng¬ land. The claim is for directors’ salaries, for four years’ office expense, etc. One item is for $50,000 in favor of Knox county. This is claimed on a contract by which the Boone pro¬ moters secured Knox county’s $100,- 000 Knoxville and Ohio railroad bonds and sold them for $40,000.|It was under¬ stood that the road should pay back $50,000 and this is the claim now be¬ ing made. The local directors have charge of the road in East Tennessee and it is understood they will retain a lien on all rights of way in this section until the claims referred to are paid. NILE IS VERY LOW. Apprehension Is Felt at Cairo Regard¬ ing Egyptian Cotton Crop. Advices from Cairo, Egypt, state that the extreme lowness of the Nile threatens the cotton crop and the na¬ tives have been warned to sow early. The upper highlands will suffer the most, and it is feared that the loss of revenue will be considerable. ANOTHER FOROERY UNEARTHED In Secret Dossier, According to the Assertion of M. Labor!. Advices of Tuesday from Rennes, Rrance, state that M. Labori is now doing so well that the doctors consider him out of danger. He lies on his back unable to move. He has no fever and continues to discuss the trial. The Matin, a Paris newspaper, makes the announcement that Labori, after he was shot, declared that, as the outcome of his injury appeared doubtful, he wished to make known the fact that M. Uhamoin, who has charge of the secret documents in the Dreyfus case, has discovered a new forgery in the dossier. WILL INVESTIGATE PLAGUE. Washington Officials Send Surgeon Irwin to the Orient. A Washington dispatch says: Sur¬ geon Fairfax Irwin, of the marine hospital service, now in Europe, has been ordered by Surgeon General Wyman to proceed to Oporto and Lisbon and make a report on the sit¬ uation regarding the bubonic plague which has made its appearance in Portugal.
