BELGRADE, May 19.-Queen Nathalie
was rescued yesterday by students from
the custody of the prefect who had been
ordered to expel her from Seria. At II
O'Clock last night force u gendarmes
tatacked the students and citizens drawn
around the queens palace, and a severe
struggle followed. Many civilians and
gendarmes were severely injured during
the night and the latter were finally re-
pulsed amidst the cheers of students and
citizens.
throughout the night the city of Bel
grade was in fever of excitement and
further fighting is expected should the
regents persist in their determination to
expcl the queen.
Later - The gcndarmes afterwards
made another attack upon the Queens
palace and, after a sharp fight with the
Queens defenders, succeeded in forcing
their way into her bedroom. Then thev
summoned her to arise, as she must in
stantly leave Servian territory.
The Queen calmly replied that she
would yield to force and requested the
students who had so gallantly defended
her, and who were even then prepared
to lay down their lives for her. to make
no further resistance.
Inc Queen was then allowed to dress
and' alter bidding adieu to the leaders of
her defenders, during which most touch
ing scene was witnessed, she was escort
ed to railroad station and started
for the Hungarian frontier.
lhe popular feeling against the minis
ter OF war is so great because OF expel-
ing the Queen, that it is probable he will
be compelled to resign.
During the fight which took place last
night between the gendarmes and the
students and citizens defending the
queens palace, one man was killed and
nifty were severely wounded.

The board Of county commissioners at
