Flags are Hying from nearly every house in Belgrade and there is absolutely no display whatever of crepe or other signs of mourning. Thc royal stand ard has been lowered from over the palace. Reports Injin places outside Belgrade ind?cale that the country accepts the disappearance of the Ob renovitch dynasty without regret. THE CU IKK OUI MINATES. According to the best available in formation obtainable, from the mass ol' contradictions, thc crime was carried out by members of the Sixth infantry, under the command (d' Cols. Mischich and Machin, The latter is a brother in-law of the Queen Draga and is min ister of public works in the new cabi net. The soldiers appear to have fought their way info the palace, shooting down the aide-de-camp on duty, Col. Naumovics, although, ac cording to anot her version the king Shot Naumovics because bc opened tho gate to his assailants, thereby creat ing a suspicion of his connivance. Some of the other persons killed were surprised in their houses, simultan eously with the attack on thc palace. A SKIN AL (il VEX. Cannon were bred as a signal for the carnage to begin, and the troops sur rounded thc ministerial residences at the same time as they moved on the palace. After the drama at the pal ace, olliccrs galloped through the streets of the city shouting out the news that the king and queen had been killed. Queen Draga is said to have sustained numerous wounds. A post mortem examination was held on thc bodies in thc palace at 11 o'clock Thursday morning. All the local papers embellish their reports ol' Hie tragedy with all sorts of extraordinary statements.

Two aides-de-camp and two other olllcers. Thc time of thc assassinations is given officially as 2 a. m., Thursday morning. lt is expected that the skliplsctlih (Servian parliament) will con li rm the proclamation by thc army of Prince Peter Karagyorgcvilch as king of Ser via.

IUJTCIIEUEI) WITH AX AX. A dispatch from llcmlhl, Hungary, to the Nation Weitung gives an inter esting version of the events at Pel grade, lt says: "A party of olllcers proceeded to the palace; hy previous arrangement with Gen. LJubasivkovlcs and called upon Kink Alexander to abdicate in favor of Prince Peter Karagorgevitc.h. The king refused and shot Col. Naumovics, who made the proposal. Th?! olllcers thereupon summoned the war minis ter, (hm. Pavlovitch. ?ind Tudorvics, the minister of the inferior, and shot thc king ?ind queen and Peta o vies, one thc king's aides-de-camp and other loyal olliccrs. The leader td' thu actual assailants was Lieut. Co). Mischich, who himself murdered thequecn. Tl c latter, together wit h her brother anti sister, was struck down with au axe. * The queen tiled i tn med lately. The king lived a few minutes.

"The MBGfiUfiSSB surviving mln'stors have been ar rested, " DETAILS OP THE PLOT i And nf tho Ttutohery Which. linn But Few EqunlK in History. Dispatches fruin 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 weeks ago. Secret commit tees wore organized in the county and worked in cooperation with the army'. The Icadt rs of tie rc\olution are said to have been thc new minis ten} of justice and li nance, respective ly, M. Schiokovics and M. Veli kb vips; and thc Sixth regiment or infantry, garrisoning Belgrade, was designated to carry out the plot; It was origin ally intended that the-plot- should be executed later, but fears that the new Servian parliament would settle the question of the succession to thc throne hastened matters. Col. Nau inovlcs, the adjutant of thc king, was entrusted with the execution of the plans. While on duty at ll o'clock Wednesday night Naumovlcs burst in thc dour leading to the sleeping apartments of thc royal couple with a bomb and then entered, accompanied by Mischich and a number of junior ollicers. Previously thc palace guard bad been overpowered and its com mander, Capt. Pauajovics, was killed. TH Ii KINO A 31 AN TO THU LAoT. Naumovlcs presented to the king a form of abdication for his siynatute. The document contained thc state ment tnat by marrying a "public prostitute," thc king bad degraded Servia and that therefore he must abdicate. The king's answer was to draw a revolver and kill Nilli movies on the spot. Mischich then picked up the document and presented- it again, and the king, who perceived his datmer, lied with Queen Draga to the palace roof, both being in their night clothes. Thc ollieers followed, continuously liringand ultimately shot' down the royal couple. Major Lilka* Latia rowles, who had been under tue king's displeasure for two years, ls said to have tired the shot which ac tually killed the king. At about 2 o'clock Thursday morn ing Queen D raga's two brothers were shot at their homes, as well as Pre mier Markovitch and his brother-in law, M. M Uko vi tell, the minister br thc interior. M. Tudorovics, and his daughter, and the war minister, Gen. l'a vio vi tch. While these events were proceeding at thc palace the streets of the city were already occupied hy soldiers and an armed force surrounded the royal residence. The horses and guns or the batteries or artillery were all deco rated with evei greens, as lira fe.-ti val. Thc soldiers discarded thc badge ol' King Alexander from their helmets. An attempt was made t o support, the dynasty by thc commander of thc Danube division, who tried to'"j rob thc Eighth rog!meut ol' infantry hilo thc city to help thc hilt! ki ny but he was opposed by a body ol' troops under Col. Gagowics. In the light which ensued both the ollicers mentioned were killed. A LA MK KX I'LA NATION. What purports to be an otlicial ex plana! ion of the tragedy was issued at Itelgrade during the day. lt says: "Arter dinner on Wednesday evening the king and queen, with some ol' their relatives and several ministers, [sat on thc balcony of the palace. Sud-, dculy.thc king demanded that Queen Draga leave the country. She refused and was supported by some of thc ministers. When the king saw this opposition he ordered thc military lo occupy thc palace. In the meantime the queen's Iriditis were also active and collected her supporters. It was in a light between the two raclions that t he king and queen were killed." A dispatch received by the Aus tlrian loreign oltice Thursday after noon announced that the. Servian par liament which has been summoned tor .lune lr?, will only elect Prince Peter Karagcorgoviteh king in the event ot Austria and Russia not op posing such a step. Austria would not object because, although the prince was once the avowed enemy ot' Aus tria, he has since given repeated as surance that in tho event of his com ing to the throne ol' Servia bc was de sirous of living amicably with Aus tria. Thc question ol' Austria's interven tion in Hu! present situation bas so far only been considered in tint case uf civil war breaking out, otherwise it is regarded as being Servia's priv ute ii If a tr; No Its?? for Negroes.

A letter to Thc State from Havana, Culta, says Sagua la Grande is very much exercised over thc discovery of one of thc most revolting crimes in thc history of this part ol' the coun try. Knur men have been robbed and cruelly murdered by what is believed to have been a large body of men. The. circumstances gained about thc case show that on May 20th foot men, three Spaniards and one Cuban, went to Isabehl de Sag uti from .some lo or 12 miles up the coast where tiley were working on a charcoal contract, ind closed their accounts with thc man by whom they had been cm ployed. They drew about $?00 in Spanish silver and then came to this iity ,to celebrate thc anniversary of jhc Cuban republic, lt appears thal ??re they showed their money in some if the cafes which they visited, and dial an organized move was made to ?ccu rc this money. The men left for their home the icxt day, which is situated about live niles from here. A man who wa1' dissing through the region where ihose men worked on Saturday noted thu fact that thc men had not rc aimed. This was reported herc and L search was made for the men. This earch resulted in thc most revolting llscovcry of thc dead bodies of the our men with revolver wounds brough them and their heads beaten o a jelly. Thc men wore bound to ;cther. The. Cuban and a Spaniard rere tied to each other and two of bc Spaniards wore served the. same my.

There arc two theories, tine is that he. men were killed shortly after they eft herc and wore tied on horses ?ind aken lo the place where they were lying in order to throw the suspicion rom the people here, and the other is hat men, sicing that they hurl finney, left here and waited for them t home and bound and killed them mere they were found. The rural guard are patrolling thc ountry in thc hopes of securing a race of tile mm det ers, but the gen ral opinion is that the murderers are ither from this city or arc among host; who came into the city lo celo ratc thc 20th of May.

TRIB?TE TO LEE. rs'-ag? ? T^Zl II'?RO Emmy Spoor Atildo turin* tho Groat Ch lo tl a I UH I'uAliion, Judge Emary Speer, of Macon, Ga., itt Tuesday, delivered the annual eom? meneement address at Emery, Oxford Ca. His subject, w:u>, "Tho Life and Character of Gen. Unlit. Ll. Lee," and lie gave a vivid and eloquent, recital ot the great soldier's career, dwelling) upon Lee's sublime self poise, and patieucc both in victory and floreat. Referring to Lee's motives in enter ing thu service of tho Confederacy. Judge Speer said: "Why, it may be asked, iKd Lee draw his sword in maintenance of se cession', which he declared revolution, which he pronounced anarchy and which bc foresaw and declared would Indict untold calamities upon the peo ple? The reply is that he did no such | thing. Ills purpose ls declared hi a I letter to his son: - " 'If the union is dissolved and the government disrupted, 1 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 tile proposal by thc State of Virginia to place a statue or Gen. j Lee in Statuary hall in thc capitol at "Washington. In this connection he | said: "Deny Lee^a place by Washington! Ah, is it sure, ir in the awful hour when the invading columns approach ed Virginia's soil, Hie winds ortho prophet had breathed upon the slain that they might live, that caught trom the wall at Mount Vernon by thc reincarnated band of thc father of his country, the defeusi ve blade of Washington would not have gleamed beside the sword of Lee. Repel theo not, my country, the Tcrvid love or thy sons who fought with Lee and of the children of their loins. Then honor him, and, hi thy need, on those who love him thou wilt not call in vain. And woe to thy foo tu the press of battle when the soul of Lee shall lire their hearts and his. bright sword shall point the charging columns of thy sons." As lt Should t)u. Atter the close of thc Confederate reunion at New Orleans there waa an exchange or letters between Gen. John lt. Gordon, president oT the Con fed erate Veterans' association, and Secre tary ot' War Root. General Gordon wrote: "My Dear Mr. Secretary;[j-please accept from mc, and the Cou federate veterans whom I represent, thc sin cere appreciation of your generous course in urging the provision for a roster of ail ex-Contolerates as well as nf ex-Union soldiers. At our recent reunion in New Orleans our Indebted ness to you was expressed by form; 1 resolution, unanimously adopted. The readiness ol' all Cou reiterates to co operate with you was also fully ex pressed." Secretary of War Root, under date of June 0, replied as follows: My Dear General Gurdon:-I thank you tor your kind letter ot May 23, ad vising me ol' the gratifying way. In which the Confederate veterans lool upou .ny course in regard to the pul licatioti of a roster of ex-Confederate and ex-Union soldiers. 1 beg you to believe that 1 fully appreciate and highly prize this expression.

THE SER?Gtia SITUATION lu the Flontl-Swept Mill VdlleV U VUfitly Improved. A Special dispatch to Thu State says as tho wind ls tempered to the Shorn lamh, help came to thu haul pressed sufferers on the Pucolet sand dudes and wastes toduv. Through no lethargy, hut not fully compre hending the destitution of the opera tives, the committee having charge nf the subscription fund has not hasten ed with Its work. Wednesday, how ever, ti committee comprising R. fl' l?V Chapman, chairman, W. lt. 1)111 ingham, W. K. I hi me Vi ?hu Haine, .lulu) A. baw and Dr. il. H. Blake went lo the scene. Tliny found thc condit ons as already reluctantly de picted in these disp itches, and the work of relief is now mi in enmesh -It has come in the nick ol' time. Hut thc silver tl II us now show plain ly for the unfortunates and it is not likely that they will have to undergo more suffering in thc hellish heat of the saud lands. A carload of cloth ing food and provisions and money was taken the operatives Wednesday. Work is Iii sight, the Southern rail way, with a liberality rare, ls issuing passes to any of them that care to leave and thc situation, which had such a desperate aspect Tuesday aud the day before, is relieved. Reports from the outlying districts are coming in and it is ouly a matter of time when more dead bodies will be discovered. Thc Unding of another dead body Wednesday makes the total number (13. Despite the fact that thc mayor of Spartan burg has said that further subscriptions were un necessary, they come in and pleasant things of Columbia's liberality arc heard at every turn. A few hours ago the sight of a storm cloud lu thc sky lilied the hearts of the operatives with fear, but so furnace-like han been the heat in the valley of the Pachtet that tile storm of Wednesday alter noon was welcomed wi til del igln.. Af ter it had east Its waters downward a rainbow rose out of the low sand lands and tipped its crescent on the green hillside above the Converse wreck. Thu operatives, dense and tgnoraut, regarded it in wonder and hope. For the tragedies of the Red sea were no more direful than theirs. The Tillman Trial; The Columbia Record say? a great number of nftldavits aro being type written to be presented to court to show that a change of venue In the Tillman case should bc granted, lt was said Friday that there arc two hundred of them and it was expected that they would be served on the state's attorneys Friday afternoon. The tenor of the alliants, of course, are that Tillman cannot receive a fair trial here because of the feeling and some of the a tilda vi ts assert that they frequently have heard expressions of opinion against thc prisoner. One instances subscriptions to Gonzales monument as indicative of public feeling, though he did not mention the fact that subscriptions were not con lilied to Columbia and that a very large part, qf them came from outside the city and county, it ls .aid that there, are a dozen or so princial affidavits and most of the rest are on the "me too" order-that is simply endorsing what somebody else has said as to prejudice existing In this city, lt has been pointed QUI that if the change of venUe ls granted that the case ? will probably go to F.lgclleld or Saluda. Court will have been held in every county of the cir cuit up to that time and ai' the defen dant has a constitutional right to In sist on a speedy trial lt is believed he will do so, because that would io.ce a ?rial in one of those counties which ?ire to all Intents and plirp |.a*s the home of thc defendant, and lie no doubt believes they are as much biased in his behalf os his friends allege that the. citizens of Richland are prejudiced against him. All these things re main to be seen, however, and there is no certainty that Judge Townsend will grant the motion for a ('hange. Somehow there seems to tie no desire on the part of any of thc Judges to "sit on" this case and it ls sa:,' that any one of them ls perfectly willing to pass it on to anothor. Five Pcnhody Scholarships. Tile State superintendent of educa tion has received notice of live vacant scholarships in the Peabody 1,'ormal college at Nashville. These hholar shlps are worth $100 each and rail road fare both ways, lt ls quite like ly that these scholarships will be given for only one year, as the (Vabody trustees contemplan! changing the plans with reference to the distribu tion of Peabody funds. A competi tive examinationlon for these scholar ships will he held on the loin and 17th of July at the following places: Anderson, Rock Hill, Florence, C. lum bla and Charleston. A pplicants must not be less than 17 years of age, nor more than .'IO, in good health and of good moral character, and must be a teacher or expect to become one. THIS Carolina Spartan says: "The silent sufferers are small farmers in the. cloudburst section. Their 'lillis have been washed away and (me will have to go miles to have a "turn of corn" ground. Rridges are down and they are put to great inconvenience to get anywhere. Those su!f-:r alone. They arc not-in communities. They never get resolutions of sympathy and material help. Our sympathy goes out to the farmers as well as lo mill hands. Many of them will have to live on short rations till tho crop ls made." Tim Columbia Record says some "business agents" of unions In New York appear to have been holding very profitable positions. One has been arrested for extorting 8f>,000 from a concern for calling off a strike. No doubt the ordinary, hard-working unionist believed when he was ordered to strike by these v.alklng delegates that he was standing hy the princi pien of his union. They supered, but the walking delegate grew rich and fat. From all reports these "hold ups" by "business agents" are quite common In New York. TUB Columbia Record says: "As-' scsslng railroad and like corporation property at their full value ls all right, but the same should bc done with all other property. There ls absolutely no Justice In allowing the geiirn--?! tax payer to return his property a L OO per cent, or less of Its value and compell ing corporations to return theirs at full value." Wu KN a man follows bis convic tions and docs what he thinks ho ought to do, nothing that comes af terward can make him regret his no tion. When a man does anything from Improper motives he generally lays up a store of iemer.-'e, because things seldom turn out as he calcu lates. mrrTT Many Formern ..Suffered' '.In the rxcltprnpntof fienioriieiit,") pays the Greenville N??ws.
