THREANENED FLOOD. El Paso, Texas, Fearful of Damage By High Water. THE FLOOD CONDITIONS ALARMING River Fo-ms a Big Lake Eight MISis Above the Town and JTuch Alarm is Felt. El Paso, Tex.. Special.?The flood condition is regarded as serious here by even the most conservative persons. The river continues to rise and the water is striking the levee with great torce. All available policemen have been placed on duty along the river and the city engineer and street com. missionre have been busy since morning with a large number of workmen engaged in fortifying weak spots in the levee with sand bags. At one point the water ate out a cavity ten feet long, but it was filled with sand bags. Below the city the river tore through all obstructions and entered its old channel which was abandoned wh^n the cut off was built three years ago to strengthen the stream, to guard against future overflew. Late Sunday evening the chief of police received a teleDhone message from John Miller, a merchant and ranchman at White Spur, eight miles above town, stating that the river had gotten behind the levee and formed a lake five miles Bquare and quite deep. This th:eateus to sweep away the levee and come down upon El Paso with a rush. He said he was doing all In Lis power to hold the waters in check, but feared he oould not do so.

Belgrade, Servia, By Cable.?A military revolution broke out here Wednesday night. The troops who revolted under the leadership of Maj.. Angiltovlcs surrounded the palace and cssas3inated King Alexander, Queen Draga, the latter's sister, the Queen's* hi other, Nlkodem, Premier Markovitch, and Ministers Petrovitch and Tudorovios, Gen. Pavlovitch, former Minister of War, and some membersof the Royal Guard. Prince Karageorg-vitch was proclaimed King. A new government was formed and the following, proclamation issued: "To the Servian People: "Wednesday night the King and'. * Queen were shot. In this grave and fateful movement the friends of thefatherland have combined to form a. new government. While the government makes this announcement to thepeople it is assured that the Servian , people will gather around it and lend, it their aid to maintain order and security througout the land. "The government hereby makes it known that from today the constitution of April, 1901, comes into force..The meeting of national representatives, dissolved by the proclamation of March 24, is summoned to meet at Belgrade, June 15. (Signed) "Jovan Avakumovlcs, Premier; L. Jubnor Kalievics, Foreigni minister; Stjoan Pravitch, Minister of the Interior; George Henries.. Minister of Commerce; General Jor? van Alanazkovics, Minister of War; Vojilsay Vllkovlcs, Minister of Finance; Colonel Alexander Machin,. Minister of Public Works; L.JubomirSchlokovics, Minister of Justice." The streets are thronged with people* y whose actions seem to approve the coup d' etat. M. Pravitch, the new Minister of the Interior, was loudlycheered as he drove to the ministry.. The new Premier belongs to the Independent Liberal party. As the morning advanced the excitement in the streets grew steadily.. Tn spite of the pouring rain thousandsof people gathered in the vicinity of the palace. Everywhere troops of all. arms were posted and field gun9 were* placed in position to deal quickly with eny opposition to the newly-formed^ government's will. The soldiers discarded their cockades bearing the late King Alexander's cipher and substituted for it flowers, green twigs and: leaves. Bands of young men paraded thestreets waving flags and shouting"Long live Karageorgvitch!" Flags are flying from nearly every house In* Eelgrade and there is absolutely nodisplay whatever of crape or other sings of mouring. The royal standard*; has been lowered from over the palace. Reports from places outside Belgrade indicate that the country accepts the disappearance of the Obr?no->^~v vitcn dynasty wnnuui ri^in. According to the best available io-formation obtainable from the masa of contradictions, the crime was carried J cut by members of the Sixth Infantry, under the command of Colonels Miathnich and Machin. The latter is a brother-in-law of Queen Draga and is--Minister of Public Works in the new rabinent. The soldiers appear to havefought their way into the palace, shooting down the aide-de-camp on duty? Colonel Naumvies, although according-, to another version, the King shotNaumvies because he opened the gateto his assailants, thereby creating a suspicion of his connivance. Some of the persons killed were surprised jU/ their houses, simultaneously with the* attack on the palace. The remains of King Alexander will! probably be bunea at me i^ouvem ui Rakova.
