Another Revolution in Servia.

y According to a report which the Daily Chronicle’s correspondent sends from Belgrade, King Alexander’s assassins, considering King Peter’s treatment ot them too cold, are planning another revolution. The King is to he forced to resign in favour ot his eldest son, and a Regency is to be appointed. The Regents, it is said, will be two of the chief conspirators of nth June, Colonel Mashiu and Lieutenant-Colo-nel Misitch, also the ex-Premier M. Avakumovitch, King Peter, adds the correspondent, does not seem inclined to change his earip acquired habits. He rises at 5 o’clock in the morning, is accessible to all his friends, moves freely about amongst the public, and is simple in bis home arrangements and at table. At the family dinners no drink but water is permitted. Neither the King nor his children partake, as a rule, of Intoxicating liquors. When, however, King Peter invites company he provides a sumptuous table. The jewels of the murdered Queen Of Servia are for sale. The Daily Mail publishes the following letter from Madame Kristine Petrovitch, one of the sisters of Queen Draga “ Sir, —After having discharged all the accounts and paid the lawyers we have only received, as the heirs of Queen Draga, the sum of 127,000 francs (£5080) and her jewels, of which many articles are missing. Consequently, in order to live, we are obliged to sell many things. I beg you, therefore, to be so kind as to make the following announcement; — “ The sisters of the unhappy Queen Draga are selling the following objects ;—A diadem of brilliants, which the Queen wore on her marriage day; a bracelet in brilliants and emeralds, which the Queen received as a wedding gift irom the Emperor of Rus- . sift; a diadem and veil, in Servian fashion, with the Servian costume comfilete; a brooch and earrings in briliants and fine pearls.” The letter is sent from Pettenkofferstrasse, No. 37, Munich.
