u BELGRADE. May 16,--The situation

in which he Is forced to submit to the
reGicdes who put him on tho throne.
The opposition In Parliament, which
detest the reglcides, have defeated the
ministry, but M. Paschles. the premier
has been retained In office In order TO
insure the safety of tho ministers re-
sponsihle for the murder In Belgrade
jail of the antf-regicde and popular
leader Captain Novakovitch. To save
those ministers, the king was COM
pelled to retain M. Pasches In power,
M. Paschcs, therefore, Knowing that
the opposition In the new Parliament
will be at least as strong as in the old,
vet undertakes q task which will bring
him face to face witt the necessity for
a coup d'etat.
