 Heaped Upon Queen Natalie, Forcibiy
 Takes Her Son, the Crown Princes From

 Germany. BERLIN, July 13.--The German police have ordered Queen Natalie to leave Ger many within twenty -four hours, and before leaving to surrender her boy, the Crown Prince Alexander, to King Milan's p1enipotentiary, who will take him to Belgrade. The police will subsequently escort the Queen to the railroad station aud Iplace her on train en route to Vienna. Force will be used If necessary to compel her to surrender her child and 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 pathy to be expressed for Queen Natalie in Wiesbaden. She had fled 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 solution she had in the midst of her troubles. The King has also broken his word in shameful manner. Last year in order to settle upon the disposi- 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 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 a final breach of faith by forcibly remoy- 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 a re- gency, and was opposed to the Kings ab- dication, and denies that she mixed in politics at all. Great surprise is mani fested 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. 'I refuse to part with my childn, but the officer who stood ready to remove him said: 'sH 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 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 Table fit of grief.
