MILAN AND NATALIE'S ROW
In Servia Nay Establish Russian
PrOtectorate Over ii.
THINGS APPROACHING A CRISIS.
The Policy Formerly Urged By Bismarck
May Yet Be Adopted.
IMPORTANT CHANGES ARE IMPENDING
;RT CABLE TO The pTsPATCH.l

Belgrade grows worse daily. The Regents,
closely bound 10 King Milan bv their OWE
interests, as we'll as pledges, are seriously
embarrassed by his presence in Servia. So
long as he remained away and kept SILENT
the violence of the Queen and her friends
defeated itself but his appearance at Bel
grade and his vehement attack upon Cara
shanine, his Minister, have alieuated the
sympathy for him. which was growing up
among the people. As one of the Regents
said lately: The King seems driven by a
Greek fate to damage his cause and the
dynasty"
While here in London, King Milan fire.
Quently declared his belief that the attack
made on his life at the Cathedral at Bel
grade three years ago bv the widow Of
Colonel Markovis was inspired by the
Queen, and that Garashanine was privy 10
the plot. This seems 10 have become a
fixed idea with him, though nobody else
sees exact reason for it. He said last week
in Belgrade to friend that Garashanine
was bound to the Queen by this criminal
completely. Doubtless he believes this, but
81 nobody else believes it, his persistence
in charging it must iniure him with the
country.
Reaction Against Milan.
The refusal OF the court at Belgrade to
take proceedings against Garashanine for
his newspaper attacks on the King is the
mrs. symptom OF the public reaction against
His Majesty. he Is making partisans for
Queen Natalie in Servia yerv much as
George ". made partisans for Queen Caro-
Zine in England. These will increase in
number when the full report of the inquiry
made into the death of Helen Markovic and
her accomplice in prison is published.
This report is making now by Judge Pau
Jaliyh. PautelIci was Minister of Justice
IN King Milan's Government in 1883. AS
4 member Of the highest court, he conducted
the inquiry re terred 10, and he intends now
10 state the whole matter without reserve
That Helen MarkoVc deliberately smoth-
cred herself Pautelich asserts, and that
Helen X nityanine, her friend, and a very
beautiful woman, was found, not strargled
rs the X ing asserts in his letter to Garash
nine, but hanging from window bar in her
cell. She was an open follower of the
harageorge party. and no friend, conse-
quen0y, either OF Queen Natalie or of Gar
ashanine.
Russian Protection of Natalie
While the Regents would gladly see
Queen Natalie leave Belgrade King Milan
Is making it difficult for them formally to
e1pel her. This difficulty is further in
creased BY the fact that Pasitch, the acting
Premier is known to have promised the
Empress Of Russia il ST. Petersburg that
he would prevent extreme measures being
taken against Queen Natalie.
pasi4ab rroS trna ad v-irb isfip
in Russia, both by the Gar and Czarina.
The Empress. for some reason, is greatly at
tached to Queen Natalie, aud having given
his word to her on this subject Pasitch
would he put in an awkward position were
the Regents 10 insist on eXpelling the Queen.
The Archbishop OF Belgrade also bound
himself in like manner to the Empress, aud
he is consequently quite miserable over the
existing situation.
1t Is now announced that Pasitch. accom-
panied by the Finance Minister, will 20 to
Russia when The Skuptschina rises, partly
about this affair, should it not be previously
settled, and partly alsp to arrange the future
relations Of Servia with Russia. The Ser
Wan finances are much embarrassed. The
Berlin nnanclers have not arranged the new
loan and 1t is now proposed either that the |
new SerTian loan shall be covered by large
Russian loan, or that Russia shall in some
FORM guarantee the sums needed to carry on |
the SeryIan Government.
Veering Toward Bismarck's Policy.
in either of these events Servia would be- |
come practically q Russian dependency.
Tie ministers VINO surround King Alex
ander sIc said to believe that the best way
Of ending the karageorge difficulty will be
TO make King Alexander accept the Rus
slar protectorate. Strangely enough, Aus |
tria Is now said to favor this. If this be
true. the whole Eastern situation must be
undergoing a grave change and we may be |
on the eve oil seeing Vienna adopt the pol |
icy urged Dy Prince Bismarck before ne |
formed the Triple Alliance.
PRuce Bismarck then wished Austria and |
Russia to divide the Balkan peninsula be- |
tween them and keep Europe in order by an.
alliance of the three empires-Germanv,
Austria and Russia. 1t is certain that the |
fall OF CrispI aud the mortiiYing failure of /
the advances made by Emperor William TO
France have disturbed the confidence
hitherto felt by Austria in the solidty of
tho Triple Alliance with Italy and Ger
many. The impression, too sedulously
propagated By Russian agents, that Glad
s,ouc NAV return next year to power in
Eu-land, still further weakens the conf
dence OF Austria IN the existing status.
Moves in the Eastern Game
That important changes OF some kind are
impending is clear. The Prince of Mon
en~gro, for instance, who has been visiting
France and Vienna, is preparing now to GO
to Coustantinople and thence to St. Peters
burg. ostensibly to visit his daughters, but
more probably in furiierance of some new
move IN the Eastern game.
Il wouid probably have been better, both
for King Milan and Servia, had he accepted
The invitations given him in London to go
iger shooting il India, or elephant hunting
in Africa with Lord Randolph Churchill.
Even now he would do well TO JOIN at
Mr.. Hardinge of the
British Embassy, who has asked him to
,ome there and form party up the Nile, in
company with the Hardinses and the
beautiful Miss Stuart, daughter Of Lord
Abingdon.
The departure Of Lord Randolph Church
j Tor Africa with his brother-in-law, More
on Frewen, and his friend, Captain Rich,
. now fixed for the end of April. A fare
veil dinner will be given him at the
imphitryoE Club, where. by the way, King
Milan had the pleasure OF paving 200 gum
AZ or little banquet OF IA covers. Lord
2.,udolph's expedition will occupy nearly a
eas, and the expenses will he de:rayed bya
.rcat banking house, largely interested in
! f.ican enterprises.
