Belgrade, Oct. 8.-The clamor for

the occupation of Bosnia and Herze-

scenes Of wild enthusiasm are being
witnessed on the streets of Belgrade.
This morning mob of demonstrators
forced its way to the precincts Of the

They declare 1t lacks vigor.
The Servian government. in it's
proclamation expresses the hope that
the powers will respond to thesappeal

justice. "This new and fragrant vio-
