SERVIAN NATION QUIET.
Belgrade's Streets PatrolIed, but No
Sign of Disorder.

Belgrade. Servia, June 13-Interest here is
centred in the approaching session of the
Skuptschina. The election of Prince Peter Kara
georgevitch King of Servia is regarded
certain although Prince Mrko of Montenegro
may have some votes. Here and there repub-
lican tendency is noticeable
Notices have been placarded on the walls of
Belgrade enjoining the people to observe the laws
and reminding them that meetings of any kind
on the day preceding the assembling OF the
Skuptschina or during its session are strictly
prohibited.
Mingled with the general satisfaction felt at
the success of the revolution there is some sense
Of depression and anxiety at the possibility of
foreign Intervention.
The War Minister has issued decree dismiss
ing several military commanders and appointing
successors to their posts.
Cavalry and infantry continued to patrol the
streets during the day. The people remained
calm. Occasionally expressions of compassion
were heard for the unfortunate King and
Queen. Quiet prevailed all night. The streets
had been practically deserted since p. M, with
the exception of small military patrols, which
paraded the thoroughfares. The palace was
guarded by Gordon of infantry, and all the
ministerial houses near the palace were closely
guarded by detachments Of troops.

The Minister of Commerce, NJ. Genshics, in an
interview, said he considered that if there
any republican tendency N the Cabinet it
insignificant. The election of a ruler. he
thought, could not occur before Tuesday, but it
almost certain Prince Peter Karageorge-
witch would be chosen. Prince Mirko of Monte
negro had chance

not consider it expedent to publish an official
account of what had taken place until matters
had settled down The minister added that
since his accession the late King Alexander COM
rnitted constant errors, and lost his hold on the
public by his marriage with Draga Maschir and
the comedy played in connection with the prep
arations for the birth of alleged heir. The
uprising was fixed for June II because on that
day Queen Draga's wish to proclaim her brother,
Nikoden heir to the throne to have been
fulfilled.
NJ Genshics concluded with indorsing Prince
Peter arageorgevitch as an honorable man and
an earnest well wisher of Servia.
The 'Norodni Listy'' concludes an editorial
article regarding the suggested establishment
of a Servian republic thus
Servsa is not yet ready for such advanced
government while the army, which is really the
controlling factor Of the situation, would not
agree to its establishment. Servia has had only
two ruling dynasties and, since the Obreno-
witches have been exterminated, there is no
choice except the Karageorgevitches
Ljubonir KaIievitch. the new Foreign Minister
in an interview tonight. said that the Servian
agents in London, Paris and Vienna had been
informed by the respective governments to
which they are accredited that these powers
had no intention of intervening in Servfa so
long public order was maintained.
