the ministers at their respective
homes. The first fire killed King
Alexander and Queen Draga. AS they
fell to the floor he still clasped her
in his arms. Even then the reglcides
we're not content. They fired hall
a dozen shots at the queen as she
was living there dead, and then
sIashed her with their swords and
thrust her body through and through.
Fatal Signal Given.
The signal for the attack was given
by the firing of cannons, and at the
same time that the palace was sur
rounded an assault was made on the
residences of the doomed ministers.
With the assistance Of Col. Maui
movies, the aid -de-camp in charge of
the guard at the palace, who had
been won over by the conspirators,
there was little difficulty in reaching
the bedchamber Of king and queen.
Resisters Shot Down.
Those who resisted the entrance of
the attacking party were quickly shot
down. Several doors leading to the
royal apartments were blown open
with dynamite, Col. Naumovics him
self bursting in the one leading to
the bedchamber with bomb The
officers called to the king to open,
but he had CURLY refused. As the
door fell the king rushed to the win
dow and appealed for assistance, but
no answer came.
Die Together.
Realizing the situation he returned
to the queen, holding her in his arms
to protect her, and awaited the con
spirators. As the officers entered the
room, Naumovics presented to the
king a form Of abdication for his
signature. The document contained
the statement that by marrying a
"public prostitute" the king had de-
graded Servia and that he must abdi-
cate.
The kings answer was to draw
revolver and kill Naumovics on the
SPOT. Col. Mischics picked up the
document and presented 1t again.
King Alexander waved it from him.
The officers then, with their drawn
reyolvers, fred a hail Of bullets, and
the royal couple fell together to the
ground.
No Opposition.
The revolution was executed with.
out opposition On the part of the
Servian people, a majority of whom
evidently approved both the assas'
sination and the choice OF Prince
Karageorgevitch as successor to the
murdered king. The chief conspira-
tors were ell men of high rank, who
acted In concert with the army. The
participation Of the latter in the
ASA ssination OF last night, which
blotted out the Obrenovitch dynasty
which has ruled Servia. with n short
intermiss.on, for nearly century, Is
mainly due TO the attitude of King
Alexander and his consort towards
the officers Of the army, whom he
always treated with scant courtesy.

carried everything before it. The
food came with such suddenness that
the Inhabitants were unable to seek
places of safety and were carried down
to death by the awful rush of water.

the town was wiped out, but some Of
the business part, which is on higher
ground, escaped.
