This iet acceptance of the revolution is ap- arently the same throughout the coun- try, but fears are entertained that at- tucks may be made on prefects and com- munal authorities.

The obsequies of the King and Queen will be held June 14. A festival illumination of Belgrade is projected for this evening.” The German Government cannot be said to have taken up any attitude as yet re- garding the provisional administration of Servia. Horror was expressed at the For- eign Office at the bloody coup d’etat. The immediate feeling is one of antagonism | - new ministry and there is an in- tion to make its path casy. The Office for the present is simply awaiting full information from its lega- tion in Belgrade and is also sounding the other chancellorigs. The fact that the late King Alexander was not allied to any European reigning families is regarded as simplifying the situation. Germany has no svecial po- litical interest in the events in Servia. That an intrigue looking to the dethrone- ment of the late King was on foot had been known to the German Government some time and algo to the Government ervia, but no Importance was at- tached to it. The late King scems to have looked upon the hints of the ex- istence of a plot as having no especial significance. Reports to this effect have been circulated in Austrian-and German newspapers and have been cabled to the United States, buf as the Balkans are productive of baseless rumors those concerning the plot against the late King of Servia were treated lightly. It is believed here that Prince Peter Karageorgevitch enjoys much more sym- pathy with high Russian Government of- ficials than did the latesKing Alexander. The Tageblatt says the Servian repre- sentative here does mnot believe Prince Karageorgevitch will ascend the throne. Slayers’ Swords Slash the Body Of Queen Draga says: was struck down with an ax. The King ERLIN, June 11.—A dispatch to the National Zeitung from Semlin agrees with other reports that the bodies of the King and Queen were thrown from their bedroom into the park. King Alex- ander was shot through the neck at the first fire and the rush of blood suffocated him. Queen Draga received several wounds, and after she was dead the regi- cides slashed her body with their swords and thrust it through and through.

"The story of the Servian monarch’s last as told in a Vienna dispatch to momen the Daily Mail, differs from all of the others. The correspondent says that as none of the doors of the palace could be broken open a number of them, among them those leading to the secret apartments of the King and Queen, were blown up with dynamite, In which pro- c an adjutant of the King, Colonel Michael Naumovics, was Kkilled. ~The conspirators at once rushed in. At one apartmert they were met” by General Markovitch, officer of the watch. The attacking party shot him down and the same fate befell another officer. The way to the royal apartments was now clear. The conspirators could hear that the King and Queen were alarmed. His Majesty rushed to a window and called appealingly for help. There was no answ He saw the end was ap- proach He kissed the Queen and em- braced her for the last time and then courageously awaited the conspirators, who were now breaking down the door of his apartment. All was €oon over. The door was speed- ily smashed by the men. All rushed upon the royal vair, firing with revolvers as they did so. Both King and Queen fell tegether, locked as they fell in one last embrace. They were, declared the Mail correspondent, riddled with bullets, @ viieiirieieiieinieieieieieieleiriefeieiel @ lies. 'The daughter of the Police Minis- ter, Todorowitch, was wounded. The Minister himself escaped with some wounds inflicted. while he was trying to telephone to the police headquarters for help. He did not get the connection, as the telephone exchange was occupled by troops. Count Marshal Nikoljewitch escaped from the royal palace and sought refuge in the Austrian Legation. The Austrian Minister, Herr Dumba, was thus the first diplomat to learn of the assassinations. He sent a boat across the river, request- ing the .officer commanding at Semlin to send troops to protect the legation. While the officer was deliberating whether he rugs in ghe royal chamber were soaked with blood, which flowed over the floors, The window hangings were torn down and trampled under foot, the windows broken, and the objects of art shattered in wanton destruction. The murderers af- terward embraced and congratulated one another on the success of the plot and announced joyfully to those below that the King and Queen had been disposed. of, The residence of the Queen's brothers, near the palace, was nearly wrecked. ‘When the brothers, says the correspond- ent, were dying from their shot wounds, they kissed each other.

Colonel Naumovics, the adiutant of the King, was intrusted with the exe- cution of the plans. While on duty at 11 o'clock last night Naumovics burst in the door leading to the sleeping apartments of the royal couple with a bomb, and then entered. accompanied by Mischich and a number of junior officers. Previously the palace guard had been overpowered and its com- mander, Captain Pauajowics. killed. Naumovics presented to the King a form of abdication for his signature. The document contained the statement that, by marrying, the King had de- graded Servia, and that, therefore, he must himseli now abdicate. The King's answer was to draw revolver and kill Naumovics on the Mischich then picked up the document and presented it again, and the King, perceiving his danger. fled with Queen Draga to the palace roof, both being in their night clothes. The officers followed and ultimately shot the royal couple. Major Laku Lazarewics. who had been under the King's disnljflsure for two years, is said to have firéd the shot that actually killed the King. At about 2 o'clock this morning Queen Draga’s two brothers were shot in their homes, as well as Premier Markovitch and his brother-in-law, M. Milkevitz; the Minister of the Interior, M. Tudorovics, and his daughter, and the War Minister, General Pavlovitch. While these events were proceeding at the palace the streets of the city were already occupied by soldiers, and an armed force surrounded the royal regl- dence. The horges and the guns of t batteries of artillery were all decorated with evergreens as for a festival. The soldiers discarded the badge of King Al- exander from their hélmets. An attempt was made to support the dynasty by the commander of the Danube division, who tried to march thé Eighth Regiment of Infantry into the city to help the late King, but he was opposed by a bedy of troops under Colonél Gagogawitz. In the fight which ensued both the com- manders mentioned were killed. What purports to be an official expla- nation of the tragedy was issued at Bel- grade during the day. It says: “After dinner on Wednesday evening the King and Queen, With some -of their relatives and several Ministers, sat on the balcony of the palace. Suddenly the King demanded that Queen Draga leave the country. She refused, and was supported by some of the Ministers. When the King saw this opposition he ordered the mili- tary to occupy the palace.

King’s coup two months ago. when he suspended the constitution, resulting in the disgrace and retirement of a num- ber of Senators and leading officials. The new King is well known here, having frequently visited this city. He has a cousin, Prince Bodijar Kara- georgevitch, living on the Avenue du Bois_de Bologne, who took part in the French campaign in Tonquin and was decorated with the cross of the Legion of Honor. In an interview to- day Prince Bodijar said he considered that popular hatred of Queen Draga was largely responsible for the events at Belgrade. He added that his cousin, the new King, had long aspired to the the Servian throne, and declared that family was closely allied to R thus assuring a pro-Russian polic Servia. Prince Bodijar Karageorgevitch does not mix in politics. He is weil known in_artistic circles, and creates tasteful cabinets and articles of stamped leather. He told a Temps reporter that he did not hesitate to declare that he considered Queen Draga to have been the cause of the assassinations. On becoming Queen she made herself first feared and then hated. QUEEN DRAGA REAL RULER. Queen Draga, he said. brutally re- venged herself for the sligatest offense, and pitilessly crushed high or low who had the misfortune to displease her. The King was only a tool in the hands of this bold, domineering woman. He was so weak-minded that a doctor who attended him at Biarritz declared that if he had been a Frenchman he would have been declared intellectually unfit for military service. The Prince added: “The youthful sovereign was the vic- tim of the merited unpopularity of his consort. Moreover, ‘whoso draws the sword shalk perish by the sword.’ My family has been tried to the ut- most. My grandfather was assassinated:; seventeen of my relatives have been executed without trial, and others were tortured. Such crimes must be ex- piated sooner or later.” Prince Peter Karageorgeovitch was a member of the fashionable diplomatic set of Paris and included among his acquaint- ances a number of Americans.

The virulence of a long fight for «he throne between the sons of a swineherd and the sons of a mountain peasant has provoked the deed. MURDER STARTS FEUD. Far back in the latter part of the eighteenth century the seeds for the fu- ture bitter feud were sown. One Kara, or Black George, a peasant, born at Topola in 1767, emerged from the darkness of the Turkish misrule in the first years of the tribal uprisings and by his intrepid valor rallied about him a handful of the Ser- blan peasants. With these as a nucleus Kara George successfully stemmed the tide of the Turkish punitive expeditions, until at last, in 1806, he was able to wrest Belgrade from the Moslems, and the former oppressors were forced to recog- | nize him as the Prince of Servia His godchild, Milosh, a swineherd em- ployed by a widow named Obren, had served Black- George as a lieutenant dur- ing the wars of liberation, but later sold himself out to the Turks and plottde to remove the successful peasant from the ducal throne. By strategy Milosh sur- prised Kara George and murdered him in his bed in 1817. The same year Milosh, who ,had adopted the name of his widow employer, was proclaimed Prince of Servia by the Sultan. Thus was the house of Obrenovitch installed and the feud between the dynasties inaugu- rated. LINE OF WEAKLING MONARCHS. Only once again did a Karageorgevitch sit ‘upon the throme. This was between the years of 1842 and 1858, during the téem- porary abdication of Milosh, when Alex- ander, a weak and vacillating prince, held unsteady sway. Milosh returned, how- ever, and Alexander fled the country.

It was planned to have the new-born son of the Queen's sister hailed as the of the royal couple, but the plo out and the indignation of t was so great that for a time a threatened. le people revolution was The tragedy of Wednesday night had many precursors in the form of miors of plots to poison both Alexa and his Queen, but little credence given the stories w indignation arose over the calm and sy tematlc method of carrying out the mdr dets.

Dr. Petrovitch of the Servian Legation described the new King as a student of affairs of state, as being intensely ani- mated by Servia's political destinies and as an admirer of Russia. The newly pro- claimed King, Dr. Petrovitch added, was sending his son to St. Petersburg, where he would be educated at the expense of the imperial court of Russia. Politicians had frequently sought to in- duce the new King to attempt to take the throne of Servia, but he always replied that he would not permit a dynastic con- to of the family or in- test to provoke a civil convulsion and he | preferred to await the result of the popu- lar weariness resulting from the old regime. A French official said: “The bloody deed of last night is the most pressing menace to the general peace of Europe that has occurred in many years.” During the afternoon the Servian Lega- tion received an official dispatch, signed by a member of the new Government, which confirmed the deaths of the RKing and the Queen and especially emphasized the fact that perfect quiet prevailed at Belgrade and throughout Servia. Fo- eign Minister Delcasse called at the Ser- vian Legation and presented the condof- ences of the French Government. The legation was besieged during the day by resident Servians. The presentation of many messages of condolence brought out the pecullar status of the present Servian Government, which is receiving condolences on the success of its own acts. WILL NOT INVOLVE EUROPE. The tragedy at Belgrade was the uni- versal theme for discussion in the lobbles of the Senate and the Chamber, and gen- eral horror or surprise was expressed at the unforeseén events which, it is believed, will not have serious effect on European politics. The Paris manager of one of the lead- ing American life insurance companies said that a number of ¢fforts were made to insure the lives of the Semian sov- ereigns, but that the company declined to accept the risks, knowing of the dynastic intrigues. Similar efforts were made with another American company, which also declined the applications. One reason for the refusal was the persistency of the ap- plications. A leading official of the com- pany, who visited Belgrade three weeks ago, said he was not surprised at the tragedies. During his visit he had formed the impression that the then existing po- litical situation could not last and that a catastrophe was imminent. The King ana Queen remained In the palace and did not dare go out. An army officer informed the official that neither the army nor the police were obedient.
