BELGRADE.--The Norodni Listy
concludes an editorial article regard,
ing the suggested establishment of a
Servian republic, thus:
"Servia is not yet ready for such
an advanced government, while the
army, which is really the contributing
factor of the situation, would not agree
to it's establishment. Servia has had
only two ruling dynasties and since
the Obrenoyitches have been extermi-
mated, there is no choice except the
Karageorgeovitches."
Ljubonir Kallevitch, the new foreign
minister, in the course of an inter-
view, said that the Servian agents in
London, Paris and Vienna had been
informed by the respective govern
ments to which they are accredited
that these powers had no intention of
intervening in Servia so long as pub.

Shoots at italian Consul.

HAVANA-While the Italian consul
here, Viagio Tornielli, was seated in
the office, a young Italian sailor en-
tered and inquired whether he was the
consul. On receiving an affirmative
reply. he whipped out a revolver and
fired, the bullet grazing the consuls
head. The sailor turned and fed along
the street pursued by the consul. The
miscreant ineffectively fired the only
charge in the revolver at his nearest
pursuers. 1t is believed that he is in

MlTS MURDER.
Nine PEOPLE ASSASSlNATED
King and Queen of Servia Die in Each
Others Arms-Pretender to the
Throne Is Proclaimed by the Army
Decision Will Be Confirmed.

BELGRADE.-A military conspir
acy, which subsequent events show
had the sympathy of the majority o
the Seryian people, was carried out il
the early hours of Thursday morn
ing and King Alexander, Queen Ora
ga, her two brothers and several min
listers were assassinated.
The following is the official list ol
the killed:
KING ALEXANDER.
QUEEN DRAGA.
THE QUEENS TWO BROTHERS
PREMIER MARKOVITCH.
THE MINISTER OF WAR.
TWO AIDES-DE-CAMP AND TWO
OTHER OFFICERS.
The time of assassination is given
officially as 2 a. m.
Prince Peter Karageorgeovitch, the
pretender to the throne, has been pro-
claimed king by the army, and there
| is every reason to believe that this
decision will be confirmed by the
Servian parliament, which has been
summoned to meet on June Is. The
revolution was executed without any
opposition on the part of the people
of Belgrade and the capital and the
country remain quiet
90
events which took place within the
royal palace are known, the details
are conflicting, owing to the extra
ordinary secrecy with which the plot
was contrived and carried out. The
chief conspirators were all men of
high rank, who acted in concert with
the army.
The participation of the latter in the
assassination, which blotted out the
ObrenoVitch dynasty, which has ruled
Servia, with a short intermission, for
nearly century, is mainly due to
the attitude of King Alexander and
his consort towards the officers Of
the army, whom he always treated
with scant courtesy. His desire to
remove the war school from Belgrade
to Shebatz particularly gave the Off
GERS offense.
The date is a sinister one in the
history of the Obrenovitch house, be-
ing the thirty-fifth anniversary of the
assassination of King AleXander's
grand uncle, who was done to death
by Agents of Alexander Karageorge-
ovitch, the then leading member of
the house which had long disputed the
throne of Servia against the Obreno-
witch family, and whose head now,
Prince Peter Karageorgeovitch, has
been proclaimed king.
Dissatisfaction against King Alexan-
der's rule mas Deen actuated since
his suspension of the constitution last |
April, and it is from that time that |
the military plot dates. The organiza- |
ton of this bloody deed was carried |
out with consummate skill. The king |
for the past two months was thrown
off his guard by the apparent quietude
of the reception OF his recent coup
d'etat In the meantime the conspir-
ators had decided on June 10 as the
date for the execution of the revolu-
ton for two reasons-firstly, it is the
of the murder of King
grand uncle. Michael,
and, secondly, because it was feared
that further delay would permit the
to settle the succession
to the throne according to the kings
wishes, and it was believed that the
brother of the hated queen would be
his choice.
