Belgrade, Oct. 12.-After a secret SEES
sion lasting for more than "a hours, the
narodna skupshtina, or national assem-
bly,, adjourned without having arrived
at any definite decision with regard to
its action against Austria Hungary.
According to the most reliable informa-
ton, no vote was taken on the question |
at issue. The meeting was a stormy |
one and was interrupted by various re-
cesses War was demanded with Aus
tria-Hungary, but the leaders of the
war faction cooled down after Foreign
Minister Milovanovich had made a
lengthy statement, in which he ex
planned that one reason why hostilities
were impossible was the scarcity of am
munition for the new batteries, which
is now being transported here, but has
been detained in Austrian lines.
The leaders of all the parties com
planned earnestly that the government s
protest to the powers against the annex
alton of Bosnia and Herzegovina was
not couched in sufficiently strong terms,
but the foreign minister eventually sue
ceeded in convincing the house of the
correctness of the cabinet s attitude,
and it is anticipated that the assembly
will adopt vote of confidence in the
government Thus for the moment the
danger point in the Balkan crisis is
passed, and Servia is expected to con-
tent herself temporarily by instituting
a boycott against Austro- Hungarian
commerce in the way of revenge. 1t was
stated today that NJ. Milovanovich will
shortly proceed to London, Paris and
Rome to lay Servia s claims before the
powers.
A representative of the French for
eign Office has arrived here on a special
mission. Despite the warlilSe language
of the crown prince on Saturday, when
he declared before the angered thou
sands who had gathered at the palace
that he believed they all soon would be
able to offer their lives m defense OF
the king and the fatherland, demonstra
tions in the streets are becoming less
numerous and less serious, and apparent
ly the people are beginning TO realize
that war might mean humiliation Of
Servia.
Reports published abroad that gen
eral mobilization Of the Seryian arm,
has been ordered are incorrect. Onl,
the first reserves have been called on
and ii is not intended 10 summon th'
other classes at this time. With th'
first reserve there will be only 100000
men under arms all told.
