those officers and officials from the military and civil services in regard to whom it has been proved by judicial investigation that they have been guilty of actions against the territorial integrity of the monarchy; it expects that the I. and R. Government communicate to it for the purpose of starting the investigation the names of these officers and officials, and the facts with which they have been charged. _By promising the dismissal from the military and civil services of those officers and officials who are found guilty by judicial procedure, the Servian Government limits its assent to those cases, in which these persons have been charged with a crime according to the statutory code.

Yet in some cases the result of the investigation might be communicated to the Austro-Hungarian officials. _The Austrian demand was clear and unmistakable_: _1. To institute a criminal procedure against the participants in the outrage_. _2. Participation by I. and R. Government officials in the e
