Empty Treasury Hammers the Pro-
visfonnI Government
Belgrade, Seryia June 90 The pro
visional government has offered the
diplomatic corps places at the railroad
station on the occasion OF the reception
Of King Peter, also expressing the de-
sire that they appear in uniform The
diplomats have not replied, pending
the receipt of instructions from their
respective governments
The provisional government is very
short Of funds and has been unable
thus far to raise money in consequence
Of its status not being legalized.
The government found the treasury
practically empty and has no means OF
obtaining money, the banks having re
fused to float even a small loan. An
installment of the recent French loan
was due June IS, but the French Off
cial who arrived here with the cash re-
fused to hand it over until the status
Of the government was properly de-
fined.
