People Excited.

Belgrade, June 11.-As the morning
advanced the excitement in the streets
grew steadily. In spite of the pouring
rain, thousands of people gathered in
the vicinity of the palace. Every
where troops of all arms were posted
and field guns were placed in position
to quickly deal with any opposition to
the newly formed government. The
holders discarded their cockades bear
ing the late King Alexander's cipher
and substituted for it flowers, green
twigs and leaves. Bands of young
men paraded the streets, waving
flags and shouting Long live Kara
georgevitch." Flags are flying from
nearly every house in Belgrade and
there is absolutely no display what
ever of crepe or other signs of mourn
ing. The royal standard has been low
cred from over the palace. Reports
from places outside Belgrade indicate
that the country accepts the disap
pearance of the Obrenovitch dynasty
without regret.

in Belgrade In 1916 and was married
in 1883 to Princess Zorka, daughter

Cause of the Revolution.

London, June 1.-THE Servian min.
lister said there were many causes
leading to the revolution. A large sec
tion of the people were greatly dissat
isfied with the tendency of King Alex
ander to eliminate the radical element
from the government and by the con
stant rumors of his intention to ap-
point Queen Dragas brother, Lunje-
viva, heir apparent. In addition to
this the queen was disliked by the
people who were also intensely out
ragged at the recent suspension of the
constitution. The minister did not
anticipate that the changes would re-
suit in internecine strife, or in any
real dangers to the country. He
pointed out that the original Kara
george was not a prince. He was a
rich swine owner. The father of the
new king was made a prince in 1912
