Belgrade special: The position OF
King Peter i promises to be little more
than that Of q royal captive; the real
government OF the country will be a
military dictatorship under the leaders
Of the revolution. Colonel Manchin and
Colonel Mitschitch: The new king is
almost without any personal adherents,
and the ruling spirits Of the army, it Is
thought probable. would just as readi-
" murder him as they did his prsde-
:essor should he oppose their aims.
At the present moment h whole
country is under military rule, and
although no projects in the country
districts have been revoked, each is ac-
tends the project wherever he goes,
even to the telephone. This policy has
led to one good result; not a single
case of disorder anywhere has been re-
ported.
An Editor coerced.
Extremely forcible arguments We're
found necessary to suppress the Rad1-
cal aspirations for q. republic. The
foremost advocate of the creation of a
republican form Of government was u.
Jubomir schiokovics. the editor Of the
AcSASlduS ouJSA~ Glli0lll6 1All11 Al1ApCA-
vious to arguments, the c~onspirators
invited him to dinner at the officers
club last Saturday. During the dinner
his host told him that unless he
agreed to support Prince Peter Kara
georgevitch there would be one less in
Belgrade that night. M. Schiokovics
yielded to the force Of this reasoning
and accepted the situation. He is now
minister of justice in the new govern
nent.
The deliberations Of the members of
the senate and skupschtina on the re-
publican question were materially has
tened by the attendance Of n Of the
leaders Of the revolution, Colonel Nit
schitch. The colonel took no part in
the proceedings, but his presence was
significant enough to induce the mem
bers to accept the army's choice.
Power Less Than Rooseveit's.
Premier Avakumovics told the depu-
ties that it was useless to talk of q re-
public, as neither Russia nor Austria
would permit 1t. He further urged that
the proposed new constitution would
give King Peter far less power than
that enjoyed by the president Of the
United States.
In spite OF the semi-off1cial state
ments made this morning that the dele
cations Of the national assembly elect

chosen king had already started, 1t Is
still here. The government declares
that the number OF its members, TWEEN.
ty-four, would entail too great a cost
on the country in the way Of travelling
expenses, but the real reason Of the
delay In its departure is that the gov.
eminent found some Of its members
to be adverse to King Peter. These
members sought the opportunity to be
come reconciled to him at the expense
Of the country. Now that the min.
astry has cut off their travelling ex.
penses their desire to make the journey
will be greatly diminished and the
delegation probably will consist Of q
dozen members at the most.
