I Belgrade, after the assassinations,
I quickly returned to a state of com
parative quiet. Although immense
i crowds gathered in the streets and
J discussed tho news and argued right
j or wrong of the revolutionists' acts,
1 there were no signs of further dis
turbances. i Public Indifference.
I The general public appears to feel
no particular sorrow, but rather as
sumes an attitude of relief. Despite
i comparative quiet, however, an im
mense guard has been placed around
tho palace to preclude any further
attacks.
Part of an Ancient Feud.
A notable coincidence of this af
fair is that on this date ln -lS6i
Alexanders great uncie whs assassi
nated. This morning's tragedy ends
an 80-year contest between the
Qeorgeovltch and Obrenovltch fami
lies. Black Kara George, the peasant,
drove the Turks out of the country
and ruled from ISO" until 181", when
the Turks again got control. They
placed Afiloch I, of the family of Ober
novitch on the throne. He ruled un
til 1839, when ho was deposed by
Black George and was forced to flee.
A few years later Black Georqe was
murdered.
Under the treaty of Paris Servia
was taken under tho collective pro
tection 'Of European powers.
All Europe Involved.
Berlin, June 11. Official informa
tion has been received that immedi
ately after the assassination an in
terchange of views took place be
tween the principal European gov
ernments. From this it is evident
that serious steps involving the
whole of Europe is contemplated.
Germany herself has no direct Inter
est In Servia, but tho tragedy has
raised international problems of uni
versal Importance.
The question Is, can the powers
look on passively while reigning sov
ereigns recognized by them and rep
resented in their court are murder
ed? Also, can great monarchies tol
erate proceedings utterly subversive
of monarchlsm? The public is won
dering what action the kaiser will
take. Will he allow the monarch to
succeed to the throne without rais
ing a finger to chastise the impious
regicides? If their murder is over
looked it sets a bad precedent for
Balkan capitals.
It is possible Austrian troops will
occupy Servia In tho nominal Inter
est of public order. If so, Russia may
retaliate by the occupancy of or war
on the Balkan states.
Suspicious Austrlans. .
Vienna, Juno 11. Some suspicion
of a Russian plot In the assassina
tion of tha Servian monarchs is en
tertained In diplomatic circles here.
Alexander's policy has recently been
anti-Russian -because of the czar's re
peated refusals to receive Braga. The
new king is known to be a Russian
protege and is reported to have been
In receipt of an annual allowance
from the Russian government.
Proclamation Issued.
.Alexander was born In 1870 and
became king in 1889. He married
Draga Machln. a widow then aged
40, in 1900. He is tho last of the
Obrenovltcbes; In personal appear
once he Is similar to Roosevelt, en
ergetic and impulsive,
The next new government procla
mation is very concise and was .Is
sued last night after the king and
queen were shot. It Is as follows:
"In this gravo, fateful moment,
tho friends of the fatherland have
combined to form a new government.
It Is convinced that Servians will

great excitement. It la learned that
