Belgrade, SerVla, june 12.-EVerything

according to all the official and other re
ports.
King Alexander and Queen Draga were
buried during the night in the family
vault of the Obrenovitch's in the Chapel
of the old cemetery of ST. Marks. The
interment was carried out with complete
secrecy between half past / and 3 o'clock
this morning.
Colonel Naumovics, aid de camp of the
last King, was buried this afternoon.
The city is l~avishly decorated with flags
and the national colors. All officers yes
to-day removed Alexander's cipher from
the cockades Of their caps.
The funeral occurred at 1870 a. m. The
privacy was maintained in order
to avoid hostile demonstrations. Two cot
fins were brought in by Servians and were
carried up TO the rooms where the bodies
OF the late King and Queen were living.
The corpses were then but in the collins
and the latter We're placed in a hearse
which was hurriedly driven to the old Gem
etery, where the other members of the
Obrenovltch family are inferred. In adj
Iditlon to the attendants only two priests
were present at the funeral. tn Metro
.politan of Belgrade was absent. The whole
ceremony lasted only a few minutes.

witch Will be buried with military bonors

sisters were taken to Pancsova bv some Of
the conspirators.
In the course of an interview toda v
Premier ~Avakumovics said:
We ministers only accepted office in
order to avoid the country falling into a
condition Of anarchy. As soon as \ King
Is elected he will have to appoint . def

Russian Roubles Backed the Crime.

Geneva, Switzerland, June 11.-Prince
Peter Kara~georgevitch, who has been hv-
ing here for some time, appeared TO be
greatly iastonished at the news from
Belgrade, which, he said, he had only
learned through a private telegram from
Viennna.
Prince Peter Karageorvitch lives in a
modest apartment on the Rue de la Bel
lotte. Recently he has been in constant
communication with Servlan politicians,
which have been several Ines in Vienna,
and he has also visited ST. Petersburg,
where his son is at school.
Through the Russian consul, an init
mate friend of Prince Karageorgevitch,
the Associated Press correspondent this
evening obtained the following state
mCnt:
prince Karageorgevitch declares him
self innocent of any knowledge OF the
tragedy at Belgrade. He said that
through his grandfather he undoubtedly
had the best right to the Servian throne
and Intended taking it if possible for the
sake Of his son, but he expected to meet
with great difficulties and hoped for as
siatance from AUSTRIA
From other sources it is learned that
the Prince Will leave secretly on Friday
morning for Vienna whence he will pro
coed to Belgrade.
Russian money was undoubtedly used
in the revolution, which, according to
the general belief, was planned here. 1t
is recalled that when the Austrian En-
press was murdered by the Anarchist Lu-
cheni in this city in 1898, Prince Karag-
georgevitch openly applauded the deed.
He is EXTREMITY popular here with all
classes and is described as unassuming,
sensible and strictly nonest in all pri-
vate and public transactions.

official. who has arrived at Buda Pest,
from Belgrade, marching on the Servian

Almost simultaneously with the butch

were shot by the troops as they attempted
to defend themselves from arrest. The
former two were killed while Minister
T~odoroviccs is just alive late tonight
shortly after midnight the bodies OF the
dead King and Queen were carried 10
their last resting place. 1t was a plfifui
sight. All day long the victims were re
posing in rough collins and had lam eN-
posed TO the gaze of those who had killed
them and the privileged curious.
SPAT UPON THE BODIES.
There have been unpleasant evidences
OF the public sentiment against the late
royal couple. Some persons even spat upon
the remains.
Lieutenant NaumoyIcs was not inferred
with the other victims. but IN response to
the wish OF the public was buried in day
light with full military honors, and Is
now generally styled "a patriot who died
for his country"
Today the sisters and nleces OF the late
Queen. who had been arrested by the
military authorities. were expelled from
the country. Her sisters late last night
were permitted to take a farewell look
at the dead Queens remains.
The autopsy held has proved that the
late King received thirty shot wounds,
many of them deadly. Queen Draga had
numerous shot and sabre wounds, and Il
is alleged that her body was torn IN a
barbarous manner.
The appearance of the royal apartments
is indescribabIe. The doors and floors are
shattered and the ruins drenched with
blood. Joyful demonstration were IN
dulged by the populace throughout the
day and business has not been disturbed.
The radical leaders have made fiery
speeches to thousands of people IN the
open air, declaring that the act was the
will of the people as we'll as of the mill
tarV.

recollection OF it's bloody entrance into
power. The journal Des de Bats char
acterizes the dominant Seryian element a.
the party OF regicIdes.
Prince Peter KarageoTgeyltch. the new
King, was a member OF the fashionable
diplomatic set of Paris and Included
among his acquaintance a number OF
Americans. He Is described as having an
agreeable personality Is about 80 years
o. age, has been a frequenter OF the
leading clubs and hotels and was a we'll
known figure at the races and sports.
He was educated at the st. Cyr Military
College and entered the French army
in 1870 with the rank of cap
tain. A brother, Prince Arsene, -
now in Paris. The latter received a des-
patch today advising HIM that his brother
had been proclaimed King. Prince Ar
sene said he probably would join his
brother and take part in the events con
nected with his assuming the sovereignty
OF Serva.
DR.. Petrovitch, Of the Sergian lega-
ton. described the new King as a stu
dent OF affairs of state, as being intensely
animated by Servia's political destinies,
and as an admirer Of Russia. The newly
proclaimed King, DR.. Petrovitch added.
is sent 10 st. Petersburg, where he viii
be educated at the expense OF the Impe-
rial Court OF Russia.
Politicians had frequently sought to
induce the new King to attempt to take
the throne of Servia, but he always re
piled that he would not permit a dynas-
tic contest to provoke a civil conyul-
sion.
A French government official said:
The bloody deed of last night is the
most pressing menace to the general
peace of Europe that has happened in
many years"
Prince Bodijar Karageorgevitch, a cou-
sin of the proclaimed King, told a Temps
reporter that he considered Queen Draga
to have been the cause o. the assassina-
tons. On becoming Queen she made her
self first feared and then hated. She
b~rutally revenged herself for the slight
ed offense and pitilessly crushed high
or low, who had the misfortune to dis
please her.
The late King was only a tool in the
hands Of this bold dominating woman.
He was so weak minded that a doctor who
attended MN at Biarritz declared that if
he had been a Frenchman he would have
been declared intellectually unfit for mill
tary service.
Prince Bodijar added:
1.-The youthful sovereign was the vic
tim of the merited unpopularity of his
~culpable weakness destroyed him"

the government Will take steps to main
tain it. The government feels convinced
that by acting thus it will ensure for the
new order of things the ~sympathies of all
the European powers"

GERS.
The time of the assassination is given
officially as ? a. m.
It is expected that the Servlan Parma
ment will confirm the proclamation by
the army of Prince Peter KarageOrge-
witch as King of Servia.
The newspapers forecast a better future
for Servia and the new state OF things
Is heartily welcomed by the masses.
Nothing definite has been decided re-
garding the burial of the dead.

Noah Lafayette, a well known resi-

day night of last week. Some time
during the night he woke his wife,
telling her that he had killed himself.
She asked what he had been taking, and
he replied paregoric. As there was no
paregoric in the house she became
alarmed, and on examination found he
had taken carbolic acid, corrosive subli-
mate and a teaspoonful of laudanum.
He remarked that he guessed he had
lost his head, for he did not want to die,
and was willing to take any antidote
she thought best to administer. Before
the doctor arrived he became uncon-
scious and remained in that condition
about AS hours but he has rallied and as
last reported was on the gain. The
doctor says that if nothing new develops
