Portuguese Rebels Fail.

New York Times 100 years ago today, July 19, 1912:
Royalists Did Not Receive Expected Support From the People.
Special Cable to the New York Times.
    LONDON, Friday, July 19.— A correspondent of The Times, telegraphing from Verin, Spain, says:
    "The Royalist raid in Portugal seems already to have spent its force. The invaders were in sufficient strength to strike a very severe blow, and if active sympathy had been forthcoming in Portugal itself their attempt to restore the monarchy might well have succeeded, but their friends in Portugal never went beyond extending passive sympathy.
    "The Royalists planned to cross the frontier at Valencia and Chaves and after seizing these positions to await a sympathetic rising from within. Both attempts miscarried.
    "The Royalists have plenty of ammunition, made in Toledo, their cartridges bearing the Toledo mark. Their guns are from the Spanish Government works at Oviedo.
    "Indeed, the arms traffic which has been going on through Spanish ports lately has assumed serious proportions. Last Sunday a barge was run ashore near Coruna. Fifteen motor cars which were waiting were hastily laden with cartridges. No fewer than 40,000 rounds were left behind in the boat. These cartridges were bought in Toledo by Paraguayans for export to South America. They were escorted to the coast by a Spanish artillery officer.
    "The Royalists have also plenty of funds. Twenty thousand pesetas are lying at the railway station at Guillarey, near Valencia."
