Athens advices say the island Of Zante
one OF the principal ones OF the Ionian
group, was visited by most destructive
earthquake Monday morning. resulting in
great loss OF life and property The shock
appears to have been most violent in the
city Of Zante, the greater part of which

twenty persons killed by failing walls have
been removed from the debris. and it is
feared that many more dead are still
In the ruins The number of per-
sons injured runs up in the hundreds.
Everything is In confusion and the work of
searching for bodies and for the injured
cannot be pursued systematically. The
greater portion OF the Inhabitants have
fed 10 the plains back of the city where
they wander about in distracted manner
bewailing the loss of their homes and
property. The city presents scene OF
desolation. and it is doubtful II 1t ever re-

morning. Advices from the interior show
that the whole island has been devastated.

clared that he has attained his majority

In Servia has been critical. owing to the
abuse OF their power by the reSents and
state officials Affairs had become so bad
that the wing determined to take reins in
his own hands In accordance with this de-
termination plans were secretly laid by
means of which the regents and
ministry would be ousted without
opportunity for opposition. great
banquet was given at the palace
to celebrate King Alexander's success in
passing the examination prescribed for
Servian students Unsuspectingly the
regents and ministers attended the BAN
quet and while they were enjoying them
selves at the palace detachments OF
soldiers and bodies OF police took
possession OF the minister's houses
and occupied the government build
ings. At midnight. while the fes-
tivities were still in progress, King Alex
ander proclaimed that he had attaine ed his
majority and that he had assumed with
country. AS a matter OF fact he had not
attained his majority, being aboIt a year
short of It. When the deposed regents and
ministers heard the proclamation they
