where the royal sArALIE.
yacht was moored- The news that
the ex-queen was really To bc ex-
PEELED from Servis had in the
meantime spread throughout BEL
grade and had reached the students
quarters The latter promptly
turned out in force, and as the ear
riage containing the unhappy lady was
being driven toward the Danube it
was surrounded by crowd of
students. who seized the horses
heads. brought the vehicle to
standstill and loudly eheered the
royal prisoner The students then
detached the horses from the ear
riage and dragged the vehicle back To
the ex-queen's residence, ,.cheering loud
ly as they passed through the streets.
The prefect, assisted by force of
gend armes. tried in vain To regain pos
session of the ex-queen and several col
lisions took place between the gend'
armes and the students.
A conflict occurred during the after
noon, the troops firing upon the queens
supporters, killing two and wour,ding
many others. The premier received a
deputation of citizens who asked him
to intervene in the ex-queen's behalf
At IL o'clock Monday night gend
armes attacked the Gordon of students
and citizens which was drawn around
the queens palace, and a severe strug
gle followed. One man was killed and
fifty others were severely injured dur
ing the fight. and the .gendarmes were
finally repulsed amidst the cheers OF
students and citizens
After consultation Of the ministers
and regents during the morning it was
decided coute qui coute to expel Natalie
from Seryia and instructions to that
effect were given to the police.
Consequently a strong force of
gendarmes made fresh attack
upon the queens palace, and succeed
ed in breaking through the Gordon of
citizens who were guarding Natalie.
After sharp fight with the queens
defenders, the gendarmes succeeded
in forcing their way through
the Gordon and in entering the
palace. The gendarmes then
forced their way into Natalie's
bedroom and summoned her to arise as
she must instantly leave Servian terri
tory. The queen calmly replied that
she would yield to force, and requested
the students who had SO gallantly de-
Tended her and who were even then
prepared to lay down their lives for
her. to make no further resistance so
rs to prevent any more bloodshed-
The queen was then allowed to dress
herself. and after bidding adieu to the
leaders of her defenders, during which a
most touching scene was witnessed, the
exiled queen was escorted to a private
carriage which was waiting at the pal
ace entrance, and was hastily driven
to the railway station, followed by the
cheers of the students and citizens of

an overwhelming force of troops, who
lined the entire route of the railroad
! station. At this station a special train
was in waiting. and the queen was i'm
mediately conveyed on board. No
sooner was the queen and her
personal baggage on board than
the train left the depot for the
/ Hungarian frontier, and Natalie,
of Servia, calm, pale, but evil
IDENTIFY suffering from intense emotion,
left Belgrade, the scene of SO many of
her troubles and triumphs- There is
no denying that the popularity of
the exiled queen has been great

OF the authorities, and, on the
