KING ALEXANDER. marx, Jne IcRcnIS,
and all the ministers Of state were pres
ent as were also large number OF the
friends and supporters Of the regents
For many months past the situation
in Scrvia has been critical owing to the
abuse of power by the regents and state
officials Affairs had become so bad
that the king determined to take the
reins in his own hands In accordance
with this determination, plans were Sc
cretly laid by means of which the
regents and the ministry would he
ousted without opportunity for oppos-
ing. unsuspcctingly the regents and
ministers attended the banquet and
while they were enjoying themselves
at the place dctachments of soldiers
and bodies of police took possession Of
their houses and occupied the govern
ment buildings.
At midnight, while the festivities
were in progress, King Alexander pro-
claimed that he had attained his majo
ity and that he assumed with the slSupts-
china the government of the country.
As matter of fact he had not attained
his majority. According to Servian
law he does not become of age until he
is Is years old, and he will not be 1s for
over year.
When the deposed regents and minis
tiers heard the proclamation they were
dumbfounded. The king and his adj
viscrs acted with great promptitude,
and soldiers, who were in waiting, at
once placed the ministers and regents
under arrest and they were sent to
rooms which had been prepared for
them in the palace, where they are I'M
der guard.
The Servian army is loyal to the
king. Had il not been the coup d'etat
would not have been possible. After
the issuance of the proclamation and
before daybreak the king proceeded to
the barracks where the troops were
under arms and was received with
many expressions of loyalty.
The proclamation which was issued
everywhere in the country to-day bears
the kings signature. In it Alexander
declares that the constitution has been
in sore jeopardy, the rights of citizens
| imperiled and the constitutional posi-
| ton of parliament so abused that the
king must end the unhappy condition
of affairs lie therefore declares that
he has come of age and has assumed
lingly power. llenceforth the Servian
constitution acquires its full signih-
| canoe.
The regents have been deposed, the
cabinet dismissed and new ministry
appointed. NJ Dokitch is the new
prime minister.
MAY INVOLVE EUROPE.
VIENNA, April 15,-rhe situation in
Servia affords ground for the greatest
anxiety. A revolution there would
make n breach for Russia, who, as
everyone knows, has always wished to
re-establsh her influence in Servia.
Austria, on the other hand, could
not look on such change UNI
moved. She holds Milan in reserve
as II last card. IL the Russophiles
were to overthrow the reigning child
king, and Russia hurled her troops into
Servia on pretense of restoring order,
Austria would be forced to make a
counter stroke, war would be declared
and from Servia it would spread all
over Europe. France, too, would be
dragged into the quarrel, for it would
be impossible to prevent her from help
ing Russia.
