 Belgrade. June 2o.-rhe Foreign Minis@| ter. M. Kalievics. in an interview today. expressed intense indignation at the an- nounceinent from London that the Bxitfrf<' Mister had been instructed to wfthdraus| rom Belgrade for some time on the ar~l rival here of King Peter.
 The Minister said 1t was inexpI&cah,nj why the British government intended " make the provisional servian nini~sr., v.-| spopsible for the deplorabie events of tho| night Of June 10 The members 0f th~I present cabinet, he added, had really 6is-| played great patriotism in coninx tn the| aid of their country in the sad crisix.

 Tt is with deep indignation fhas ...n] md in recent telegram from Tonxonj an indication that it is intended to ho16j tne present government resposible for tiaml oepiorable events which occurred an thAI sangninary night of June 10. in the royal palace. It is known that the events afl tnat night were carried out by Serviarj omcers Who had resolved to prevent fhsI probable proclamation of tlae brothar ns3 queen Draga as the successor to tilal throne.
 The fact that a woman was arnonssI < those who perished in the struggle nrn- { voked by the attack of an aide de cs1lsnl on officers is regrettable more so. as haet death was by no means necessary. ~. though she had been detested by the whole Servfan people from the rnonnenkl she presumed to place the crown on her unworthy head

 Courage Was Required.

ALEXANDER WAS WEAKENED.
Anonymous Letter Told of Plot t1 Assassinate the Monarch.

Assassinate the Monarch
 Vier na, June 20-Major Pomiankowstls military attache of the -HungArizm Legation at Belgrade, was the last psE@ son outside of King Alexander's housoe hold who saw him alive.
 On the afternoon of the day precedinMl the tragedy, Major Pomiankowsl<i had aa long private audience with King Alexan- der, which was interrupted by the King, wl adjutant, Lazar Petrovics, who entered the room and made a communication which seemed to agitate the King. Kingl Alexander told the attache that the au-l dience must be continued at some future time. Major Pomiankowski thereupon rs-l tired.
 On entering the ante-room, the attaches found four officers standing in a group, reading an anonymous letter purportingl to have been written by friend of thel King, warning him that he would be kill~l ed the same night. King Alexander waaI much disturbed by the letter, but was re- assured by M. Petrovics. who ridiculed the warning, and told the King that in order to prove his disbelief in 1t, hal would, contrary to his usual habit, occu4 py his lodging in the Konak that night.

TRIBUTE TO NEGRO.

U. s. European Squadron and Danish
 Authorities Honor Suicide.
 Copenhagen, June 20-when the United States European squadron stopped at Nyborg. Denmark, today, a remarkable demonstration in honor of the United States navy occurred.
 The occasion was the funeral of a negro boy who belonged to one of the ships of tlle squadron and who committed suicide by jumping overheard on the previous day. Eighty officers and men. headed by a band were landed at Nyborg with the body. whereupon all the flags of the town were half masted.
 The funeral was attended by represen- tatIves of the Danish military and civil authorities and by the foreign consuls who deposited flowers on the coffin. which was draped with the Danish and Ameri- can colors.

LARGE INTERESTS INVOLVED.
Cases of the Chattanooga and the
 Galveston Only Precedents.

Cases of the Chattanooga and the
 Galveston Only Precedents.
 Washington. June 2o.-It was learned at the Navy Department today that far greater interests are involved in the de- cision of the question of the possession of the cruisers Galveston and Chattanooga than are represented by the actual cash value of those boats.
 It Is regarded as absolutely essential at this stage to establish sound precedent and determine the question of title to war vessels under construction in order to pro- tect the governments interests In the ownership of at least dozen ships. in- cfuding vast battiesfips worth nearly five million dollars eech.
 Action will be taken in the case of the Chattanoga, building at Elizabethprt. and 1t is therefore probable that no further de- lays will be encountered in the completion of the Galveston and the Chattanooga. while any show of force or duress on the part of the national government will be avoided.
 It is fully expected that similar action to that about to be taken in the case of these two cruisers will be necessary in the case of some much larger warships now on the stocks.

the District of Columbia Watson denies the
right of the Commissioners to make him

THE BANCROFT SENT TO SCENE.
American Vessels Seized by the Bel
Egerents in Venezuela

The Navy Department at the instance of
the State Department, has taken steps to
prevent further interference with Ameri-
can shipping in the Orinoco by either gov
eminent or rebel forces. This action was
taken upon the report Of Mr.. Russell,
United States charge at Caracas. dated the
9th instant, to the effect that the govern
ment forces had detained two ships be-
longing to the Orinoco Steam Navigation
Company at San Fernando, and that the
insurgents had detained and were likely
to destroy three other ships belonging to
the company at Ciudad Bolivar. 1t is as
sumed, though Mr.. Russell makes no ex-
PLANTATION. that the seizure of these boats
Is incident to the last struggle of the re-
bellion in eastern Venezuela. Yesterday
orders were cabled to the United States
ship Bancroft. at Port of Spain, to proceed
at once UP the Orinoco and secure the re-
lease of the detained vessels.
1t is believed. however, that the matter
will not result in any hostile clash between
the Bancroft and the Venezuelan govern
ment forces or the insurgents.
The insurgents hold Ciudad Bolivar. Ad-
vices have been received at the State De-
partment from the American legation in
Caracas that President Castro had sent
an expedition of about 5000 men to retake
Ciudad Bolivar and suppress the insurgents
in that locality. The insurgents are re-
ported to be between 5000 and 1000 strong
They are commanded by Cen Rolando.

TWO PARTIES AT ROME.
One Would Lose the Other Gain by
Pope's Death

dispatch from Rome yesterday says: Al
though Pope Leo Is one Of the bestowed Of
popes. the situation In the church now Is
that while there Is one party which would
do anything possible to have him longer
there is another party which thinks a
change in the papacy would further their
interests as well as those Of the church.
The former party Is composed OF all the
friends Of those who are now in power and
who have secured the best posts both with
regard to honors and positions. as well as
financially. These understand that a change
may mean practical oblivion for them. The
other party Is composed Of all those who
have been kept In the back ground and
whose only hope Is in a new administration
1t must be considered that a new pope gen.
orally brings change in all the great ap
pointmentS. including the papal secretary
of state and vicar Of Rome. the represen-
tative of the pontiff in spiritual affairs. the
vice chancellor. who has charge Of issuing
the papal bulls the grand penitentiary, who
presides at the tribunal of penttentfaries.
granting absolution under certain circum-
stances. and the librarian Of the holy
church. besides all other positions more or
less important connected with or depending
on these great dignitaries.
There Is only one man who holds such
position as to be sure to profit by the cleo
ton of new pope II the usual custom
Is observed. This Is the secretary of the
consistorial congregation. who. during the
conclave acts as secretary OF state. 1t is
his duty, when a pope is elected, to ad-
vance, kneeling. and offer the white zuc-
cetto. or small cap. the emblem OF papal
dignity. to the new pontiff. who is expected
to remove his red cap and put the white one
or his head and the red one on the head
of the kneeling officiating monsignor as q
sign that he will soon create him a cardi-
nal.
On that occasion. in 1873. Leo calmly and
slowly folded I'D his red zuccetto and put 1t
in his pocket as a mute protest against
politics. The officiating prelate was Mgr
Lasagni. who. in fact. waited about three
years before entering the Sacred College

DA1sH COMPLAINT DISMISSED.
Decision Regarding Charge Agains,
Two Railroads Of Discrimination.

Two Railroads OF U1Scr1m1naClon.
The Interstate commerce commission to-
day decided one of the first local cases that
has come before that body for long period
by Diminishing the complaint OF 8. s. Daisn
& Sons of this city against the Cleveland,
Akron and Columbus and the Baltimore
and Ohio railroads.
The commission holds that no unjust dis
elimination or undue prejudice in favor OF
other shippers was shown, as alleged in the
complaint.
The commission In its decision says that
the anthracite coal strike, for which the
defendant railroad companies do not ap-
pear to be In any way responsible. necessl-
tated the transportation OF bituminouS coal
from the mines in West Virginia. Maryland
and Pennsylvania to eastern points to sup
ply the demand for fuel for industrial and
domestic use, and this operated to prevent
the shipment of some other classes OF
freight.
The roads, according to the decision.
probably had the right to give such freight
the preference, and 1t was not improper
that live stock. perishable freights and ma
terial supplies for the railroad should be
excepted from any embargo imposed.
The commission adds that it was also
proper that embargo notices should be
given such connecting lines SO as to avoid
the further congestion of freight in junction
freight yards. and in the forwarding of
freight received from connecting lines 1t
was proper. says the commission. that cars
should be forwarded as far as possible in
the order of their. receipt, so that there
should be no unreasonable discrimination
or preference which might be avoided.
The commission, in conclusion. points out
that the necessity for keeping open for
traffic the two main tracks Of the lines of
the two roads east of Cumberland required
great care so that passenger travel and ex-
traordinary and necessary freight transpor-
tation should not be obstructed or inter-
fered with.
