afterwards scOrt the Queen to the station
at Wiesbaden and place her on q train
bound for Vienna. II the Queen attempts
to resist these orders force will be used in
carrying them out. Her Majesty is pros
trate. Her villa is surrounded by police.
An officer, attended by twenty police.
men, entered Queen Natalie's villa at ten
O'Clock this morning and shortly after re-
appeared with with young Prince Alexan-
der, the Servian Crown Prince, and lady
of honor Of the Queens suite. The two
were bundled into a closed carriage and
driven to the railway station, where they

THE ABDUCTION CONDEMNED.
LONDON, July 1.-THE speedy execution
of King Milan's mandate regarding his
son, the Crown Prince. and the harsh man
ner in which the latter was wrested from
his mother, causes universal sympathy to
be expressed for Queen Natalie in Weiss
baden, where she fed with the young
Prince. All regard it as an especially
hard case. Not content with seeking to de.
fame and divorce his wife, Milan has
taken from her the. only consolation she
had in the midst of her troubles He had
also broken his word in q shameful man
ner. Last year in order to settle upon the
disposition of the young Prince, he decided
that his son be educated in Germany.
Queen Natalie thereupon signed q formal
document agreeing to this and prescribing
the places Of residence for herself and
Prince Alexander until the autumn Of 1873.
A short time ago in formal document he
agreed that the Queen should have the
care of the Prince until the latter attained
his majority. Lately he had sought to
change all this, to obtain an abso-
Lutte divorce from Natalie, and yester.
day he committed final breach Of
faith in forcibly removing the Prince
from his mother. Queen Natalie has been
accused of raising political factions in OPP
position to the King and of seeking his abb
dication, but she asserts that she never
consented to q regency and was not OPP
posed to the Kings abdication. and denies
that she mixed in politics ut all. Great
surprise is manifested at the stringent
means employed by the German Govern
ment and at what is considered the harsh
treatment Of the Queen.
