part in the assassination of King Alex
ander and Queen Draga, and those who
held aloof from the conspiracy. Such a
disruption was to be expected. and it
is surprising that more serious trouble

throne thus left open for him. When he
arrived at Belgrade the les,6ers of the
conspiracy Haunted themselves about the
court, but the monerch's horror seemed
to have considerably 1essened. for he had
rewarded the conspirators instead Of

navy. The admiral Is one Spaniard who
Is exceedingly we'll liked in this coun-
try, and those who were fortunate enough
to come in contact with his genial per-
snality during the Spanish-American war
will join in wishing him happiness In pri-
vate life. 1t is true that Admiral Cervera
could not be considered a very good
fighter, and the defeat he met was an
| ignominious one, but then the odds were
very much against him. In spite of the

Aubrey"
