people, and who, as her whole life is conspiracy against
God and humanity, finds conspiracy in everything. Aus
tIia then anticipated him by the lying accusation Of
being the bearer OF procanaons from me TO the Hunga
rian nation.
The accusation was false: I affirm it on my honor
Nevertheless the faith of spies without honor or
character Austria caused to be arrested at Semln his
poor wife on her way to join her exled husband, and
the imaginary procamatons were demanded as the price
of her liberty. .aa.a ssas
Domoler justified himself before the Serbian govern
ment in so striking manner that that government al
pre- found sufficient strength in the justice OF his cause
Austria was obliged to loose her hold The poor wife
permitted TO Join her husband, but upon condition
that Domoter should Immediately leave Belgrade.
The poor woman is creditor OF Austria. Her entire
heritage the money Of the orphan is in the hands Of
Austria, not by confscation, butt trust.
Domoier resisted the insocnt demands OF the Austrian
consul until the debt due 10 his wife should be paid
This is his crime He dared TO demand the return Of
the poor orphans heritage.
The Serbian government continued generously to sup
port and protect him Tor eight months.
But as the Austrian consul persisted IN his pesecu-
ton, and the Dragoman OF the Pachac Of Belgrade
(who is rather officer OF Austria than OF the Sublime
Poe) made common cause with the consul. the Serbian
government al length Obliged TO remove him from
Belgrade but his cause was so Just that our government
then gave him permission TO reside al kragueyaer,
and continued its protection to enable him TO follow up
his judicial dispute with Austria.

and threatened that they have sought voluntary death

At length the Austrian agents drew up a calumnious
denuncation against Major Domoer, which the Serbian
government found upon inquiry 10 be so totally with
