Belgrade, June R-The assassination of King Alexander and Queen Draga, the Queens two brothers, the Servian premier the Minister of War and the former Min ister of War, perpetrated in the dark hours of yesterday morning by a band of officers, and the proclamation by the army of Prince Peter Karageorgevitch, the pre- tender to the throne. as King of Servia. have apparently, it may be said, now that thirty-six hours has passed, been accepted by the capital and the Servian people without a murmur.
 The meeting of the Skupschtina Monday next $ now expected to confirm the proc lamation as King of Prince Karageorge- witch and to reguiarize the new situation.
 The only new element in the situation is a feeling among the intelligent classes in favor of the abolition of a Servian monarchy altogether and the creation of a republic. and this sentiment is shared by at least one member of the provisional government.
 Some Talk of Republic.
 Differences of opinion on this point developed today at a meeting of the cabi- net, when the new foreign minister, Ljubonir Kalievics, expressed himself for the establishment of a republican form of government. The majority of the min isters, however, declared themselves in favor of a new King in Prince Peter Karageorgeyitch. They strengthened their declar ation by the strong argument that it was certain that Austria and Rus sia would not countenance the creation of iG shared by politicians. -a
 The remains of the ill-fated King and Queen were buried stealthily last night in the chapel of St. Mark, where the mem bers of the Obrenovitch family are in- tered.
 The government has laid claim to the possessions of the late monarch, It is not known whether he left fortune. but 1t is supposed that he had considerable savings, having lived economically during the last decade. It Is reported that the greater part of his money was deposited in England, but it is questionable whether the money would be delivered to the Ser vian Government. The opinion here Is that all belongs to the state, even includ- ing the Kings foreign investments It is possible that former Queen Natalie may also appear as an heiress.
 Queen Draga was in receipt of 30,ooO Rulden ($14,550) monthly and also had great savings, which will be handed over to her three sisters. The following IS narrative of the revolution given by men who took an active part in It:
