The government found the treasury practi-
cally empty. and has no means of obtaining
money, the banks having refused to float even a
small loan. An instalment of the recent French
loan was due June Is. but the French ofl-
cfaI who arrived here with the cash refused TO
hand it over until the status of the government
was properly defined. The expenses OF the
deputation which has gone to Geneva were met
with difficulty and to the army are owed long
arrears of pay. AS to transactions between the
government and private individuals the Min

are involved that the ministers Will be per

The following notification was gazetted to-
day:
The Russian Minister here has Informed the
Minister of Foreign Affairs that he Will enter
into relations with the Servtan Government To-
day, as the Car had been pleased to recogr
nize Prince Peter KarageorgeyitCh as King or
Servia.
AS NJ KaIievics officially visited the Russian
Legation this morning the formal relations ap-

The streets of Belgrade are beginning to wear
a gay aspect. They are decorated with flags
and Venetian masts have been erected from the
palace to the railroad station.
The status of the regicides under the new KING
is freely discussed. and it is generally expected
that they will be promoted and pensioned and
then gradually removed. Any slight of them,
however. would be holly resented by the army
which is master of the situation.
