TRIED TO Do A COMPLETE JOB
On the Principle Probably That Dead
Men Do Not Rebel.

Almost simultaneously with the
butchery in the palace the troops en-
deavored to arrest all the relatives of
the queen and those ministers whom
the conspirato.s disliked. Two broth
ers of the queen. Lieutenant Colonies
Nikola and Nikodern Lunjevics, were
seized and escorted by detachment of
troops from their dwelling to the guard
room of the divisional commander.
They were evidently not suspicious of
their doom, and were lighting CT
garettes when they were shot dead by
eight soldiers.
General Zinzar sIarkovics. the pre-
mier; General Pavlovics. minister of
war. and NJ. Todorovics. minister of
the interior. We're shot by the troops
as they attempted to defend them
selves from arrest. The former two
were killed. while Minister Tcdo- OWES
is just alive.
Shortly after midnight the bodies. of
the dead king and queen were carried
TO their last resting place. 1t was
pitiful sight. All day long the victims
had been feposing in rough collins. and
had lain exposed to the gaze of those
who had killed them and to the priv
ileged curious. There have been I'M
pleasant evidences of the public resent
ment against the late royal couple.
Some persons even spat on the re-
mains.

The autopsy held has proved that
the late king received thirty shot

Draga had numerous shot and sabre
wounds. and it is alleged that her body
was torn in a barba.ic fashion. The

THEY ANNOUNCE THEIR WORK


Il Quiet In the Land.
A single cannon shot announced the
execution of the plot, all the terrible
details of which may perhaps never

railway stations and occupied them.
Other troops Immediately marched to
the barracks and proclaimed Prince

STORY OF THE ASSASSINATION



The following is a narrative of the
revolution given by men who took
an active part in it: Army officers to
the number of ninety having formed
a project of a revolt. among them be-
ing delegates from almost every gar
rison in Servia, and the majority of
the office of the Sixth regiment, Lieu
tenant AIitschitsch invited his com
rades on Wednesday evening at IL
o'clock to meet in the Kalimagden gar
den, and there the immediate carrying
out of the intended deed was organ
lied
At 1:40 a. m. the officers, in eight
groups, went to the Konak, the royal
palace. Each had a cue and especial
directions regarding his part in the
revolution. In the Konak palace it.
self the revolutionaries had two i'm
portant partisans in the kings body
guard Colonel Alexander Maschin,
Queen Draga's cousin mot brother-in-
law, and the kings personal adjutant,
Lieutenant Naumovics. Two officers of
the high military academy appeared at
the appointed hour. a. ~, at the
gate of the Konak, where the kings
adjutant, Panajotovic, who was In the
conspiracy, handed them the keys to
the garden gate, which is always kept
locked.
First, stepping before the guard at
the Konak one of the two officers
called Throw down your arms" A
fight ensued with shots from both
sides, in which several persons were
wounded. The revolutionaries then en-
tered the front garden without him

the old Konak, where Lieutenant Nau-
movich was awaiting. He opened the
lock of the iron door leading 70 the

Republic Is Favored by Some.

The only new element in the situa-
ton is feeling among the Intelligent
classes i'm favor of the abolition of
creation of republic, and this senti-
ment is shared by at least one men,
Der of the provisional government.
Differences of opinion on this point
developed at meeting of tie cabinet
when the new foreign minister, Ljubo-
mir Kalievics. expressed himself for
the establishment of republican form
of government. The ma ity of the
ministers. however. declared them
selves In favor of new king in Prince
Peter Kara georgevitch. They strength
ened their declaration by the strong
argument that it was certain that Aus
tria and Russia would not countenance
the creation of republic. This is the
view gene ally shared by politicians.

known whether he left a fortune. but
1t is supposed that he had considerable
savings, having lived economically
during the last decade. 1t is repo, ted
that the greater part of his money
was deposited IL England, but il is
questionable whether it would be de-
livered to the Servian government. The
opinion here Is that all belongs to the
state, even including the kings for
eign investments. 1t is possible that
ex-Queen Natalie may also appear as
an heiress. Queen Draga was in re-
ceipt of 10000 gulden monthly. and
also had great savings, which will be
handed over to her tn ee sisters.
