United States Government Will Follow
the British Course.
COLONEL Mischief IS HoNORED.
For the Present Minister Jackson vii! Not
Present His Credentials to King Peter
France aud Holland Will Also Await the
Nav Kings Action Toward the Assas'
sins

Washington, d. c. (SpeciaD.-The
United States government has adopted an
attitude similar to that OF England to-
ward the new Servian dynasty. 1t will
be in no haste to recognize government
created by assassination in the absence
Of some exhibition of disposition to
punish the guilty. Therefore Mr.. Jack
son, who. besides being minister to
Greece, is also United States mT'ister to
Scrvia. will not present his credentials
10 the government of kisg Peter at
present
In fact. these credentials have not been
prepared He had credentials 10 King
Alexander which he had never presented.
and he was actually on his way from
Athens to Belgrade at the time OF the
assassination OF the King to whom he
was about to present his papers.
1t happens that the trade between the
United States and Servia is triiiing. and
the interests of the two countries touch
at few points. so that there is really little
embarrassment likely to follow the fail
ure to establish diplomatic relations.
Paris (By Cable).-Foreign Minister
Delcasse's colleagues express the belief
that he is likely to deprecate the Servian
tragedies by an expression similar TO
those of Russia and Austria; but it IS
pointed out that King Peter took the ia
itiative in the cases OF Russia and Aus
tria by telegraphing TO the Gar and En-
peror Francis Joseph. thus affording
them the opportunity for Austrian res
ponscs. whereas the Servian King has
not addressed the other powers. and. con-
sequently. has rot given them All oppor-
tunity TO make rejoinders.
The opportunity. however. will come
when the question OF the recognition of
King Peter arises. In the meanwhile the
French Minister at Belgrade has been in
structed 10 restrict his action to current
routy,e affairs and to maintain a neutral
attitude toward the new regime until the
question OF the Kings recognition is
formally decided This will not come to
the front until after King Peters arrival
i'll Belgrade. his formal assumption of
power and his notice OF that assumption
10 the foreign ministers.
The Hague (By Cable).-The Dutch
representative at Belgrade has been III
structed TO assume the same attitude as
Great Britain toward the provisional
government of Servia.
