 Belgrade. June 11.-A military con spiracy which subsequent events shows had the sympathy of the majority of the Servian people was carried out in the early hours os the morning and King Alexander, Queen Draga, her two brothers and several ministers were as- sassinated.
 Prince Peter Karageorgevitch, the pretender to the throne, has been pro- claimed king by the army and there is every reason to believe that this de- cision will be confirmed by the Servian parliament, which has been summoned to meet June 15.
 The revolution was executed without any opposition on the part of the people of Belgrade, and the capital and coun- try remain tranquil.
 The following is the official list of the killed: s.

 Two aides de camp and two other of- ficers.
 The time of the assassinations is giv- en officially as 2 a. m.
 It is expected that the skuptschina (Servian parliamenD will confirm the proclanation by the army of Prince Peter Karageorgevitch as king of Ser- via. s ..#sss ;, ,'s ~'''
 While thesmain outlines of the events which took place within the royal palace are known, details are conflicting oW- ing to the extraordinary secrecy with, which the plot was contrived and car ried out. The chief conspirators were all men of high rank, who acted in concert with the army. The particfpa- tion of the latter in the assassinations of last night, which plotted out the Obrenovitch dynasty, which has ruled Servia with a short intermission for nearly 8 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. His desire to remove the war school from Belgrade to Shebatz par ticularly gave the officers offense.
 To-day's date is sinister one in the history of the Obrenovitch house, being the thirty-fifth anniversary of the as- sassination of King Alexander's grand uncle, Michael, who was done to death by agents of Alexander Karageorge- witch, the then leading member of the house which has long disputed the throne of Servia against the -Obreno- witch family and whose head to-day, Prince Peter Karageorgevitch, has been proclaimed king.
 Dissatisfaction against King Alexan- der's rule has been growing since his suspension of the constitution, last April, and 1t is from that time that the military plot dates. The organiza- tion of last nights bloody deed was carried out with consummate skill The king for the past two months was thrown off his guard by the apparent Qul6Cuu6 or TSCcpLlOll OL lllS iCScdb coup q etat. Tn the meantime the con- spirators had decided to June 10 as the date for the execution of the revolu- tion for two reasons, first, it is the annivertary of the murder of King AL exander's grand uncle, Michael, and second, because it was feared that fur ther delay would permit the Skupschina to settle the succession to the throne, according to the kings wishes, and it was believed that the brother of the hated queen would be his choice.
 The prime mover in the plot was sLjubomir Schickovics and Vojisav Ve- lkovics, who have entered the new cabinet as ministers of justice and f. nance respectively. M. Schiokovics was condemned to twenty years penal ser- vitude for an attempt to assassinate former King Milan.
 The king and queen passed the eve of < their death quietly. They attended a choral festival, then took supper in the Konak and afterwards retired to rest. Meantime the conspirators held a meeting in the Kalimegden park. The sixth infantry regiment, which was chosen to carry out the coup detat, was recently punlShed TOT having used its weapons against crowd of demonstra- tors.
 About 1 o'clock in the morning the sixth and seventh regiments were called to arms and were led to the royal pal ace, which they entirely surrounded. A band of thirty officers, led by Colonel Maschin and Colonel Michies, forced their way into the palace. shooting all whom attempted to bar their passage. They were assisted by treason within. The. ,aide-de-camp on duty, Colonel Naumovics, had been won over by the conspira tors and was entrusted with the plans for action within the royal enclo- sure. Several doors leading to the royal apartments were blown in by dynamite, Colonel Naumovics himself bursting in the door of the royal bed chamber with a bomb. The officers s----------------
