ROYAL BRUTALITY.

Milan, the ProflIgate King Of servfas Noe
Content with the Indignities Already
Heaped Upon Queen Natalie, ForcIbly
| takes Her Son, tho Crown Prince, From
Her, and Causes Her Expulsiop From
Germany.
BERLIN, July 13.-The German police
have ordered Queen Natalie to leave Ger
many within twenty-four hours, ana
before leaving to surrender her boy, the
Crown Prince Alexander, to King Milan's
plenipotentiary, who will take him to
belgrade. The police will subsequently
escort the Queen to the railroad station
and tplace her on a train en- route to
Vienna. Force will be used il necessary
to compel her to surrender her child ard
leave German soil The Queen is pros
trated with grief. Her villa at Wies-
baden is surrounded by police.
BERLIN, July 1.-THE speedy execution
of King Milan's mandate regarding his
SON, the Crown Prince. and the harsh
manner in which the latter was wrested
! from his mother, causes universal SYM
patty to be expressed for Queen Natalie
in Wiesbaden. She had fed with the
young Prince. All regard it as an es-
pecially hard case. Not content with
seeking to defame and divorce his wife,
Milan has taken from her the only con-
ISOLATION she had in the midst OF her
troubles. The King has also broken his
word in q shameful manner. Last year
in order to settle upon the dispose
ton Of the young Prince, Milan
decided that his son should be educated
in Germany. Queen Natalie thereupon
signed formal document agreeing to
this, and prescribing the places Of resi-
dence for herself and Prince Alexander
until the autumn Of 1888. A short time
ago King milan, in q formal document,
agreed that the Queen should have the
care Of the Prince until the latter attained
his majority. Lately the King has sought
to change all this and obtain an
absolute divorce from Natalie, and
yesterday he committed final
breach OF faith by forcibly remov-
ing the Prince from his mother. Queen
Natalie has been accused of raising polit-
ical factions in opposition to the King,
and OF seeking his abdication, but she as
serts that she never consented to re-
gency, and was opposed to the Kings abb
dication, and denies that she mixed in
politics at all. Great surprise is mani
tested at the stringent means employed
by the German Government, and at what
is considered the unnecessarily harsh
treatment of the Queen.
BERLIN, July 14.-When the police went
to take Prince Alexander from Queen
Natalie, at Wiesbaden, yesterday, they
found the Prince .sobbing in his mothers
arms, and unwilling to leave her. The
Queen exclaimed: 81 refuse to part with
my child', but the officer who stood ready
to remove him said: t'If. Your Majesty
refuses to surrender the Prince, my in
structions are to use force" Princess
Mourang, the Queens sister, and Madame
Ghika, knelt and prayed the officer to
spare the child the pain Of parting from
his mother. The officer, however, was
obliged to obey his orders, and in horror
Of a struggle, Queen Natalie Reluctantly
submitted, and gave up the young Prince,
who left her presence sobbing violently.
When he had left, the Queen gave way to
an uncontro liable at Of grief.
