In the Kalimagden garden at II O'Clock
on the night of the murder, and there
the immediate carrying out of the In

AT / 40 a. M the officers in eight
groups went to the royal palace. Each
had special directions regarding his
part in the revolution. In the palace
itself the revolutionaries had two i'm

Draga's cousin, not brother-in-law, and
the kings personal adjutant, Lieut..
Naumovitch,
1.-TWO officers of the high military
academy appeared at the appointed
hour, 2 a. M, at the gate of the pal
ace, where the kings adjutart, Pana-
jotovic, who was in the conspiracy,
handed them the keys to the garden
gate, which is always kept locked.
First, stepping before the guard at
the palace, one Of the two officers
called, Throw down your arms A
fight ensued, with shots from both
sides, in which several persons were
wounded.
"The revolutlonaries then entered
the front garden without hindrance
ard reached the courtyard Of the old
pa.ace, where Lieut.. Naumovitch was
awaiting. He opened the lock of the
iron door leading to the front room
on the first floor, By this it was seen
that the palace was carefully closed
and that danger was suspected. Hur-
rying up stairs to the first floor, the
revoluting officers attracted the atten-
ton of the palace attendants and
the royal couple by the noise of the
shooting. Lieut.. Lavar Potrovitch,
alarmed by the unwonted hubbub, hur.
ried forward with q drawn revolver
in one hand and in the other a sword.
What do you want? he cried.
"'Show us where the king and
queen are, came the reply.

same moment a bullet stretched him
on the ground. The revolutlonaries

their grave side.
The remains were Inferred in a
vault in the cemetery chapel, Two
wooden crosses alone denoted the
spot, marked Alexander Obrenovics'
and "Draginja Obrenovics. The 9TH
err bodies lie outside in the cemetery
in rough graves.
Lieut.. Naum0vtch was not burieJ
with the other victims, but in response
to the wishes of the public was buried
in daylight, with full military honors,
and is now generally styled "a patriot
who died for his country"
The sisters and nieces OF the late
queen, who had been arrested by the
military authorities, were expelled
from the country. Her sisters were
permitted to take a farewell look at
the dead queens remains. They were
subsequently conveyed by the police
on board Servian ship, which took
them out of the country, They were
lucky to escape with their lives.
The autopsy held has proved that
the late king received thirty shot
wounds many of them deadly. Queen
Draga had numerous shot and saber
wounds, and it Is alleged that her

body was torn in a barbarlc fashion.
The appearance Of the royal apart
ments is indescribable. The doors and
floors are shattered and the ruins
drenched with blood.
A new element in the situation is a
feeling among the intelligent classes
in favor of the abolition of Servian
monarchy altogether, and the creation
of republic, but 1t Is certain that
Austria and Russia would not coun'
tenance the creation of republic.
The government has laid claim to
the possessions Of the late monarch.
1t is not known whether he left a for
tune, but 1t is supposed that he had
considerable savings, having lived
economically during the last decade
1t Is reported that the greater part Of
his money was deposited in England
but it Is questionable whether the cap
ital would be delivered to the Servian
government. The opinion at Belgrade
Is that all belongs to the state, even
including the kings foreign invest
ments. 1t is possible that ex-Queen
Natalie may also appear as an heiress.
Queen Draga was in receipt Of 10000
gulden monthly, and also had great
savings, which will be handed over to
her three sisters.

Prince Peter Karageorgevitch, the
pretender to the Servian throne, gave
an interview at Geneva, Switzerland,
in which he repeated his disclaimer Of
any completely, direct or indirect, in
the assassination of King Alexander
and Queen Draga. He expressed his
detestation of the crime, and gave a
brief outline Of his own political ten
denotes.
Replying to a series of direct ques-
tons, Prince Peter said:
at is true my partisans have COM

which | am in frequent communlca-
ton. | know from other sources that
the discomfort of the Servian people

The conference of senators and
deputies, held at Belgrade, resolved
unanimously, that the constitution Oh
1888 should be put in force, and that
Prince Peter Karageorgeyitch should
be elected king. r
1t is not certain that Karageorge
witch will accept the crown. The
most sensational rumors have been
received from Geneva. One Is to the
effect that the prince demands that
before he enters Belgrade all officers
concerned in the murders shall have
left it, requires an increase in his
civil list, and insists that his election
must be unanimous
1t is believed that the terms laid
down by the prince will be granted,
that the assassins will be banished,
and that amnesty will be extended to
them later.
Prince Karageorgevitch, although
little Is known of him among the peo-
pie of Servia generally seems to have
caught the public fancy, and his cleo

Ever a Soldier Of Fortune.

Since Prince Peter Karageorgevitch
has been spoken of for King of
Seryia, those who have known for a
long time the members of his family
and who some years ago knew him as
an interesting figure in Paris, are re-
calling various phases Of his adven-
turous and checkered career. His
life has been filled with daredevil
escapades and the ups and downs OF
a royal pretender and soldier Of
fortune. He has been constantly en-
gagged in intrigue, plots, and counter
plots for the realization of his royal
demands.
The prince received in Belgrade the
