THE SERVlAN DILEMMA.
The Rrssian and Austrian Demands for Punishment of the As-
 sassins Proves n Poser.

Belgrade, June 23.-1he position of the ministry is becoming more unen- viable daily in consequence of the Russian and Austrian demands for the punishment of the assassins of King Alexander and Queen Draga- The terms of the Russian note al- most caused panic among the eabi- net ministers, who are anxiously awaiting the arrival Of King Peter to extricate them from the dilemma. The war minister is the paramount power in the ministry. as he is backed by the entire army. and he threatens severe resentment in the case of any hint by a member of the cabinet of the pun ishment of the conspirators. The promotions of officers sent from Ge- neva are variously explained as eith- CT intended as an open defiance or as being the result of alarm caused by the attitude of the army.
 The foreign representatives who have not been instructed are asking their respective governments what at titude they shall assume at the recep- tion of King Peter. The Russian minister is in quandary. He had resumed relations with the provision al government when the czar tele graphed his recognition of King Peter, but the minister takes the sub sequent publication of Russia's de- mand for punishment as an indication that Russia will possibly order the suspension of relations with the gov ernment until the murderers are pun ished. Meanwhile, the preparations for the reception of King Peter con tinue. A public holiday has been pro- claimed, provincial deputations are coming to Belgrade, free wine and beer are to be provided by the gov ernment and the town is to be given up to rejoicings.
