Sncw Premier of the Servian Pro- visional Government, Avakumovics, a press correspondent has received the | following account of the tragedy in Bel- grade, which he is assured is absolutely authentic. These facts will be set forth in an official protocol, which has not yet been drafted, owing to the pressure of state business, all that is yet known offi- cially being contained in the verbal report made to the Premier by the officers con- cerned in executing~the plot: Six weeks ago one of the officers in the secret warned the King what was going on, when all the officers concerned were | transferred to points in the interior, the | King fearing to take stronger measures | against them. About the same time a cer- | tain lady w sent to Geneva to see| Prince Peter Karageorgevitch and submit to him a proposition that he come to Ser- | via as King upon his agreeing to accept a | new constitution based on liberal princi- | ples. Prince Peter accepted the conditions. As soon as the conspirators obtained the assurance that the kingdom wouid have a ned sovereign they decided to kill King | Alexander and Queen Draga. LONG SEARCH FOR VICTIMS. Colonel Maschin, Queen Draga's | cousin, was the leader of the conspiracy. A number of officers came to Belgrade | from interior posts on the night of the | tragedy and supped together at Serbische | Kron restaurant, where the final details were arranged. At midnight they pro- | ceeded from tie restaurant to the palace | and forced the door leading to the royal | apartment, using dynamite. When the officcrs entered they could find nobody, the King and Queen, alarmed by the noise of their approach, having concealed them- | selves, | For two hours the officers hunted through every nook and corner of the roy- al apartments, without success. Then they found the King's adjutant, Lazar Petrovics, and compelled him to | lead them to the King's hiding place, He took them to the bathroom and pointed to a secret door in the wall, opening upon | a staircase leading to the roof. Behind this door crouched the King and | Queen. When the conspirators were as- | sured of their prey they shot and killed the adjutant. | EMLIN, Hungary, June 13.—From an intimate personal friend of the Meanwhile the King fell upon his knees | 4 and begged for life, offering to ¥ield to | every demand, to sign ary document, to agree to leave the country or to send | " Queen Draga away—anything, everything only they would not kill him. The officers answered roughly, too late,” and fired at him. QUEEN PLEADS IN VAIN. The Queen also fell to her knees and asked pardon for her conduct, but one of | the officers, calling her a degrading epi- thet, told her she had been Queen long | enough. One of the conspirators, after subjecting the Queen to gross indignitles, | slashed her with his sword, and the other officers fired at her. The King also was slashed with sabers. ! The conspirators then dragged the King and Queen into the front apartments and threw them over the balcony upon the Jawn in front of the palace, which is sep- | arated from the street by an open iron fence. The King and Queen lived one or two hours afterward. Meanwhile two of the officers summoned | the Queen's two brothers from their home to the house of the commander of the Belgrade division, where they were offered a glass of water and told to bid each other farewell. In the very moment they embraced each other the officers shot and killed them. One hundred soldiers, commanded by two officers, at the same time surrounded the house of the Minister of War, Pav- lovics, and summoned him to open the door. The Minister looked from a window | and the soldiers fired at him, wounding him. The Russian military attache, who iived in the same house, hearing the nofse, rose | and dressed himself in his Russian uni- | _ form and attempted to remove the Minis- ter to his apartment. The officers ordered him to go away and he, seeing the hopelessnes of the situation, departed. The soldiers then en- tered the house and shot and killed the Minister, whose body was left on the floor and was not discovered until 10 o'clock in the morning, when it was found by his son-in-law and daughter, who had escaped. RECENT REPORT CONFIRMED. Since the tragedy occurred the real facts of an attempt upon the persons of | the King and Queen a month ago have become known. The conspirators at that | time engaged the services of a young Bo- hemian, the son of a tailor, living in Bel- grade. He obtalned a position in the kitchen of the Grand Hotel of Belgrade | to learn cookery. He improved so rapid- ly that a little later he was given em- ployment in the royal kitchen. Here again he proved very efficient and was L e e e e e ATTORNEY WILL OBTAIN RECORDS FROM NEBRASEKA Case of Assistant Postmaster Schafer to Be Postponed for a Time. SACRAMENTO, June 13.—City Attorney Howe has announced that it is his de- sire not to proceed with the case of Paul Schafer, assistant postmaster of Oakland, | charged with child-stealing, until he can secure letters from Nebraska authorities confirmatory of the claim that Mrs. Zeb- ulein Beck was divorced from Schafer in that State and by court decree was given the custody of the child Josephine, who is the subject of the present trouble. It will be useless to proceed with the prose- | cution of Schafer unless it can be estab- { lished that he had no legal custody of the child kidnaped. —————— | Spike Will Be of Silver. SAN JOSE, June 13.—A silver spike, | driven bv a silver hammer, is to mark | the laying of the first rafl*of the San | Jose and Los Gatos electric raflway. A | solid rosewood tleis also to be used. This ceremony will occur on Monday, June 22, just beyond the city limits of San Jose. There will be appropriate exercises and general jubllation over the laying of the rafl. Work on the road is progressing rapidly. Up to date ten miles of grading has been completed, and the graders are within one mile of Saratoga.” The i and ties will arrive here the coming week, | and tne laying of them will commence on the 22d. It is proposed to have the road completed in about four months, The road will be eighteen miles in length, and extend from this city to Los Gatos and Saratoga. e The report of the Commissioner of Pat- ents for 1902 shows a total of 49,490 appli- cations for patents, including designs, and that 27,776 patents, including designs, ‘were issued. e e Cotton has the same composition as wood. “It is | THE SAN FRANCISCO (,ALL SUNDAY.

He went one day to his teacher, a widow living in Belgrade. in a jubilant state of mind, wearing a new suit of clothing and ing that he earning 160 cinars (about $32) a month. The same evening, while preparing a ish for the King, he mixed poison with the food. The head cook detected him in the act and promptiy informed the King and the youth was shot immediately. His parents were brought to the palace and told the facts of the case and were com- pelied, under threats of death, to tell everybody that their son had killed him- self.” Since the tragedy the youth’s par- ents have revealed the plot.

The military still occupies the Gov- ernment offices ‘and a number of soldiers are stationed around the palace. The garrison, also, is being constantly in- creaged, with a view to Monday's meeting of the Skuptschina, the proceedings of which, it is alleged, are already arranged and will consist mereiy of registering the decree electing Prince Peter Karageorge- vitch King of Servia.

Sovereign Elected by the Servian Parliament Will Be Recognized. ST. PETERSBURG, June 13.—In offictal circles here it is sald that none of the powers are inclined to raise difficulties in recognizing the sovereign the Servian Parliament elects. An official note giving the views of the Government follows: “The trazic events at Belgrade have occasioned profound emotion in Russia, where there s the +keenest interest in everything affecting the destinies of the Servian veop'e. All the blood that has been shed can only awaken In Russia a teeling of compassion, which in the pres- ent instance is increased by the fact that the King and Queen of a friendly state have fallen victims of a violent death and that the Obrenovitch dynasty, so closely bound up in the history of Servia, is now extinet. The most fervent desire prevails | in Russia that Servia, after this fearful crisis, may be able to pursue peacefully the course of her natfonal life in the di- rection which tife patriotism of the people and a Proper conception of their supreme interests will lndlcate CONSP!EATORS IN HASTE. Feared That xtng Alexander Wagld Yield to Demands. VIENNA, June 13.—It is now known that the late King Alexander lived in a state of terror during the last weeks of his life. Soldlers belonging to the Pio- néers’ division searched the palace from roof to cellar nightly, peering into all dark corners for bombs. Each night the King was securely locked fn his bed- chamber by the aajutant, in the presence of the palace commander.

PARIS, June 13.—~The TForeign Office here to-day received dispatches from the French Minister at Belgrade saying that that Servian officials had been established, and | that there was no truth in the reports that a portion of the Servian army was marching to attack Belgrade. At the council of Ministers to-day For- elgn Minister Delcasse communicated to his collcagues telegrams from RBelgrade saying that the Provisional Government had communicated to the Servian Minis- ters abroad a formal notification of the | new regime’s assumption of power and the Servian authorities were determined | to give the Skuptschina complete liberty of action in the choice of a King. The Servian legation here has received a number of dispatches from Belgrade. | They say no woman except Queen Draga was assassinated, and declare that it was | not intended to kill her, but to compel the royal pair to consent to a divores. When they refused it was proposed that | the King abdicate and depart with the | ueen. He answered by shooting Colonel Naumovics, which brought or. a general | melee, resulting in varfous deaths. The | Queen’s sisters have been conducted to | the frontier. The official Servian dispatches confirm the press and other statements to the ef- fect that the Provisional Government has decided (o leave the choice of a King to the Skuptschina. | The Patrie quotes Georgeviteh, secre- H.ary of the Servian legation, as saying that Queen Draga was the chief cause | of the uprising, which also was due to | popular resentment of King Alexander's | course in establishing a legislative body without including In it any representative of the opposition.

Among many women who attracted the profligate Milan was a beautiful Turkish maiden whom he met in one of his visits to UonstamlnopleAAru-ml:xla Johannid by name, daughter of the Sul- tan's chief architect. She became the mother of a son, whom Milan caused to be christened with his own name, a fact showing that his interest in .-\r!emlml was far greater than the interest he or- dinarily took in a woman whose beduxy caught his eye.
