RUSSIA AND AUSTRIA DEMAND

PETER FEARS THE ARMY

BELGRADE, June 22.-The position OF
the ministry is becoming more unenviaole
daily in consequence of the Russian ana
Austrian demands for the punishment OF
the assassins Of King Alexander and
Queen Draga.
The terms of the Russian note almost
caused a panic among the cabinet minis
ters, who are anxiously awaiting the ar
rival of King Peter to extricate them from
the dilemma. The war minister Is the
paramount power in the ministry, as he is
backed by the entire army, and he threat
ems severe resentment in the case of any
hint by member of the cabinet Of the
punishment of the conspirators.
The promotions of officers sent from
Geneva are variously explained as either
intended as an open defiance or as being
the result Of alarm caused by the attitude
of the army.
Ministers in Quandary.
The foreign representatives who have not
been instructed are asking their respective
governments what attitude they shall as
sumo at the reception of King Peter. The
Russian minister is in quandary. He had
resumed relations with the provisional
government when the czar telegraphed his
recognition of King Peter, but the min
lister takes the subsequent publication OF
Russia'S demands for the punishment as
an indication that Russia will possibly order
the suspension Of relations with the gov
ernment until the murderers are punished.
Meanwhile the preparations for the re-
ception of King Peter continue. A pubic
holiday has been proclaimed, provincial
deputations are coming to Belgrade, free
wine and beer are to be provided by the
government and the town is to be given up
to rejoicings.
Conspirators Rewarded.
The promotions are announced of various
members of the military deputation to King
Peter at Geneva.
Colonel Popovitch of the late King Alex
ander's palace guard is created a general
and first aid-de-camp to King Peter Cap
tain Kostich who opened the palace gates
for the assassins, is promoted to be
major. Lieutenant Gronfca, who was on
guard outside the palace on the night OF
the assassination, and who was confidant
of the conspirators, is made a captain.

commendation for that among their
admirable traits. Washington colored
people have for many years stood in
almost the front rank as property OWL

real estate especially. Ambitious and
capable colored men have from time
