Powers want Assassins Punished.
London, June ia special dispatch
from Rome says q semi official note
published there declares that whoever
is made king Of servia the powers will
exact the punishment OF the murder
ers of King Alexander and Queen
Draga, as civilized countries cannot
tolerate that administrative and milf
tary positions in any country should

Late King Feared Assassination.
Vienna, June 15.-It is now known
that the late King Alexander lived in
state Of terror during the last weeks
of his life. Nightly soldiers belonging
to the Pioneers division searched the
palace from roof to cellar, peering intp
all dark corners for bombs. Each
night the king was securely locked in
his bedchamber by the adjutant, in
the. presence Of the palace COM
mander.
1t is also stated that for several
weeks the late Queen Draga had pre-
pared for flight, independents of the
king, who is supposed to have been
gradually growing reconciled to the
project Of his divorce from Draga ana
his marriage with Princess Xenia, of
Montenegro. The conspirators are re-
ported to have learned this, and fear
ing the marriage would prove con-
tinuation Of the Obrenovitch dynasty,
hurriedly commenced the task Of ex-
termination.
Lately King Alexander tried vainly
to become reconciled with exiled
Servians which also increased the
anxiety of the conspirators.
Queen Draga's sisters were permit
ted to have last look at the body of
the late queen. They say the corpse
was shrouded in white silk. The
youngest of Draga's sisters was car
ried away unconscious.
In the late kings desk there was
found, in addition to various interest
ing private papers, about $4,000.

Paris, June 15.-The Servian Legal
3tion at Paris has received o number of
dispatches from Belgrade. They say
no woman, except Queen Draga, was

not intended to kill her, but to compel
the royal pair to consent to divorce.
When they refused it was proposed
that the king abdicate and depart with
the queen. He answered by shooting
Col. Naumovics, which brought on. a
general melee, resulting in various
deaths. The queens sisters have been
conducted to the frontier.
