UUTOIIKKKI) W1TII AN AX. A dispatch from Botulin, Hungary, to thc Nation Kel tung gives an inter esting version or thc events at Bel grade. lt says: "A party of olllcers proceeded to the palace by previous arrangement with (icu. Ljubasivkovlcs and called upon Kink Alexander to abdicate in favor of Prince Peter Karagorgevileh. The king refused and shot Col. Naumovics, who made the proposal. The olllcers thereupon summoned the war minis ter, Cen. Pavlov!tel), and Tudorvics, the minister of the interior, and shot the king and queen and Petrovics, one the king's aides-de-camp and other loyal olllcers. Thc leader of the actual assailants was Lieut. Col. Mischich, who himself murdered the queen. The latter, together willi lier brother and Sister, was struck down with an axe. * Thc (puen died immediately. Thc king lived a few minutes. Thc im mediate cause or Hie revolution was the return to Belgrade of Lieut l.ung vitzu, brolla r or the queen and a sup posed candidate for the throne. "The surviving rain'stors have been r atv rested. DETAIL8 OP THE PLOT Anti ot'tho Butchery Which lins Mut Few KqitulH in History. Dispatches from Belgrade says that since the late King Alexander's last suspension of the Servian constitution the army had been.animated by hos tile feelings toward both the King and Queen. Thc revolution was planned wecks'ago. Secret commit tees were organized in the county and worked in eooporatlrn with the army'. The lcadirs of tl e rb volution are said to have been the new minis ters of justice and liuancc, respective ly, M. Sch Ibko vieslatid M. Veli kb vies, and the Sixth regiment or infantry, garrisoning Belgrade, was designated to carry out the plot: It was origin ally intended that Hie-plut should be executed later, but tears that the new Servian parliament would settle thc question ot the succession to the throne hastened mattel's. Col. Nau movics, thc adjutant ul the king, was entrusted with the execution ot thc plans. While on duty at ll o'clock Wednesday night Naumovics burst in the door leading to the sleeping apartments of the royal couple with a bomb and* then entered, accompanied by Mlscbich and a number of junior olllecrs. Previously thc palace guard had been overpowered and its com mander, Capt. Pa na j o vies, was killed. THIS KINO A JIAN TO THE LA.vf. Naumovics presented to the king a form of abdication for his signature. The document contained thc state ment that by marrying a "public prostitute,'" the king had degraded Servia and that therefore he must abdicate. Thc king's answer was to draw a revolver and kill Naumovics on thc spot. Mischich then picked up thc document and presented . it again, and the king, who perceived his danger, lied with Queen Draga to thc palace roof, both being in their night clothes. The oltlcers followed, continuously li ring and ultimately shot down the royal couple. Major Luka La/arewics, who had been under the king's displeasure for two years, is said to have tired thc shot which ac tually killed the king. At about 2 o'clock Thursday morn ing Queen i)raga's two brothers were shot at their homes, as well as Pre mier Markovltoh and his brother-in law, M. Milkovltch, the minister of thc interior, M. Tudorovlcs, and his daughter, and the war minister, Gen. Pavlovitch. While these events were proceeding at thc palace thc streets of the city were already occupied by soldiers and an armed force surrounded the royal residence. The horses and guns of the batteries of artillery were all deco rated with evergreens, as Pir a festi val. The soldiers discarded thc badge of King Alexander from their tuhnois. An attempt was made to support, thc dynasty by thc commander of thc Danube division, who. tried to march thc Eighth regiment, bf infantry into tin? city to help the late king but he was opposed by a body ol' troops under Col. Gagowics. In the light which ensued both the Olllcers mentioned were killed. A CA MK KX I'LA NATION. What purports to hean oftichil ex planation of the tragedy was issued at Belgrade during the day. lt says: "A.rter dinner on Wednesday evening the king and queen, with some ol' their relatives and several ministers, sat on the balcony or Hie palace. Sud-, denly the king demanded that Queen Draga leave the conni ry. She refused and was supported by some ot' the ministers. When tile king saw this opposition he ordered thc military lo occupy the palace. In the meantime thc queen's friends were also active and collected her supporters, lt was in a light between the two factions that thc king ?iud queen were killed." A dispatch received by thc Aus tifian loreign (lillee Thursday after noon announced that the Servian par liament which has been summoned for .lune Ia, will only elect Prince Peter Karageorgovitr.h king in the event of Austria and Kussia not op posing such a step. Austria would not object because although the prince was once thc avowed enemy of Aus tria, he has since given repeated as surance that in the event or his com ing to thc throne of Servia he was de sirous of living amicably with Aus tria. The question of Austria's interven tion in the present situation has so far only been considered in the case of civil war breaking out, otherwise it is regarded as being Servia's priv ate allai r.

Tho winds were light easterly, except high in places, ac companying thunder storms. There was more than the usual amount of cloudiness. Tho incipient drought was broken in all parts except Georgetown' coun ty. The- average precipitation for tim entire state was 8.25 inches.

Owing to interrupted mail commun ication, reports from thc extreme western parts of the state arc miss ing. These excessive rains did great damage by washing lauds, and Hood ing bottom lands. All crops are de stroyed on bottom lands in the wes tern part of the state by Hoods. The ground ls too wet in all parts to per mit cultivation, and Heids are becom ing foul. On the night, of the first, damaging bail occurred in Abbeville, Rarnwei l?amnt?ui Lexington, New berry, Or n?e, j onngeburg, Richland, Saluda and' Sp niter billies, causing thc total destruction of hundreds of acres of corn, tobacco au I some cot ton, as well as ruining many acres of uncut oats. The rainfall was of great benefit-lu crops where it was not ex cessive, and where not accompanied by hail, causing a marked improve ment in their prospects. Cotton improved in stand, color and growth. Chopping and cultiva tion made slow progress. Lice have appeared In a few places. The plants are generally small, bub are healthy, thc formation of squares have been noted. Sea island cotton is thriving. The rains Improved corn materially but it needs cultivation and sunshine. Some being laid by in the southeas tern counties. The stands have im proved,, but worms continue trouble some. Tobacco is still small anti is buttoning low, although a number of places report improvement in both conditions. Many acres were totally ruined by hail, especially in Richland county.

KILLED FOR THEIR MONEY. Kn ur MIMI in < In ha Murdered on Their Way liuine. A lefter to The State from Havana . Cuba, says Sagua la Grande is very m itch exercised tiver the discovery or one of thc most revolting crimes in the history of this part of the coun try. Pour men have been robbed and cruelly murdered by what is believed to have been a large body of men. The circumstances gained about the case show that on May 2i)th lour men, three Spaniards and one Cuban, went to Isabela de Sagua from some lo or 12 miles up the coast where they were working on a charcoal contract, and closed their accounts with the niau hy whom they had been em ployed. They drew about $500 in Spanish silver and then carne lo this city |td celebrate the anniversary of the Cuban republic. It appears that herc they showed their money in some of the cafes which they visited, and that ?nu organized move was made, to secure this money. The men left for their home the next day, which is situated about live miles from here. A man who wa-' passing through the region where these, men worked on Saturday noted thc fact that the men had not re turned. This was reported here and a search was made, for the men. This search resulted in the most revolting discovery of the dead bodies ol* the four men with revolver wounds through them and their heads beaten lo a jelly. The men were bound to gether. The Cuban anti a Spaniard were tied to each other and two of flu: Spaniards were served the same way. Ollicers left here together with doctors tn ?yjinilne the bodies, hut it was uni '.???c?o 1 whet ipr they bad been tied and it ion murdered or had been tied later for son:!.- purpose. There are two t heories, one is that the men were killed shortly aller they left herc and were tied oil horses and taken to the place where they were living in order to throw the suspicion from the. people herc, and the other is that men, seeing that they bad money, left here and waited for them at home and bound and killed them where they were found. The rural giiard are patrolling thc country in the hopes of securing a trace of thc mindere rs, but the gen eral opinion is that the murderers are either from this city or are among those who came into thc city to cele brate the 2()th of May.

His subject was, "Tho Li To and Character of Gen. Robt. li. Leo," and lie gave a vivid und eloquent recital of the'great soldier's career, dwelling upon Lee's sublime self poise und patience both in vict ory and defeat, Referring to Leu's motives in enter ing the service of t'so Confederacy, Judge Speer said: "Why, it may be tusked, d:d Lee draw his sword in maintenance of se cession, which bc declared vc vol ul loo, which he pronounced anarchy and which he foresaw and declared would inflict untold calamities upou thc peo ple? The reply is that he did no such thing, lils purpose is declared in a letter to his son: - " 'If the union is dissolved and the government disrupted, I shall return to my native State and share thc mis eries of my people and save In defense, will draw my sword on none.' " In his peroration Judge Speer re ferred to the proposal by the State of Virginia to place a statue of Gen. Lee in Statuary hall in the capitul?t Washington. In this connection he said: ,;Dcny Lee^a place by Washington! Ah, is it sure, if in the awful hour when thc invading columns approach ed Virginia's soil, the winds of Hie prophet had breathed upon thc slain that they might live, that caught from the wall at Mount Vernon by the reincarnated hand of the father of his couutry, thc defensive blade of Washington would not have gleamed beside Hie sword cf Lee. Repel then not, ray country, thc fervid love of thy sons who fought with Lee and of thc children of their loins. Then honor him, and, in thy need, oil those who love him thou wilt not call in vain. And woe to thy foo in thc press of battle when the soul of Lee shall lire their hearts and his. bright sword shall point thc charging columns of thy sons." AH ft Should tic. After thc close of the Confederate reunion at New Orleans there was an exchange of letters between Gen. John | lt.

The body was brought to Jonesville and shipped lo Spartanburg for Iden tification. lt is reported that two other bodies have been found on the river and in consequence of their de composed condition they were buried near where they were found. A great deal of cotton and cloth has been recovered and hauled to Jones ville and ls being shipped to the mills.

The tenor of the aillants, of course, are that Tillman cannot recel vu a fair trial here because of the feeling and some of the atlldavlts assert that they frequently have heard expressions of opinion against the prisoner. One instances subscriptions to Gonzales monument as indict ll ve of public fvoliug, though he did not mention the fact that subscriptions were not cou ti ned to Columbia and Cutt a very large part, uf them came from outside the elly and county, lt ls said that there are a dozen nt* so prlncial u tilda vi ts and most of the rest are on the "me too" order-ihat is simply endorsing what somebody else has said as to prejudice existing in tills city, lt has been pointed QUI that if thc change of venue is granted that the ease "will probably go lo Elgcfluld or Saluda.

TllK Carolina Spartan says: "The silent sufferers arc small farmers in the cloudburst section. Their 'nllls have been washed away and one will have to go miles to have a "?tim of corn" ground. Bridges are down and they are put to great Inconvenience to get anywhere. These suif :r alone. They are not-in communities. They never get resolutions of sympathy and material help. Our sympaihy goes out to thc farmers as well to mill hands. Many of them will have to live on short rations till thu crop ls made." TIIK Columbia Record says some "business agents" of unions In New York appear to have been holding very prod table positions. One has been arrested for extorting 8.-i,00o from a concern for calling off a strike. Nw doubt thc ordinary, hard-working unionist believed when he was ordered lo strike by these v<nlklng delegates that he was standing hy the princi ples of his union. They supered, but the walking delegate grew rich and fat. From all reports these "hold ups" by "business agents" arc quite common In New York.
