BuoRADE, May l9.--The palace OF the
ex-Queen Natalie, who was rescued by stu
dents yesterday from the custody Of the
Project, who had been ordered TO expel
her from Servia, is still effectually pro-
tected by an organized body composed of
students and citizens.
ANOTHER CONFLICT.
At IL o'clock last night force of gen.
darmes attacked the Gordon of students
and citizens which was drawn around the
Queens palace and O severe struggle fol
lowed. Many civilians and gendarmes we're Sc
verely injured during tho fight. and the latter
were finally repulsed amidst the cheers OF the
students and citizens Throughout the night
tbs city OF Belgrade was In fever Of excite
mcnt, and further fighting Is expected should
the Regents persist in their determination TO ex-
pei the Queen.
THIRD AND SHARP FIGHT.
After consultation Of tho Ministers and Re
gents this morning II was decided oOute qu'ti
eoute 20 expel Natalie from Servia, and instruc-
tons 10 that effect were given 20 the police Con-
seqDently, during the morning, a strong force Of
gendarmes made fresh attack upon the
queens palace and succeeded In breaking
through the Gordon Of cstizens guarding Natalie.
After sharp fight with the Queens defenders
the gendsrIne 60 succeeded In forcing their way
through tho Gordon and In entering the palace.
THE GENDARNEs IN SATALIg's bedroom.
The Rendarmes then forced their way into
Nhtalie's bedroom and summoned her % arise,
as she must instantly leave Seryian territory.
Tho Queen calmly replied that she would yield
10 force, and requested tho students who had 70
CALAMITY defended her and who were even then
prepared 10 lay down their lives for her, 20 make
no further resistance, 80 as to prevent any more
blOOdsbed.
THE QUEEN ExuED.
The Queen was then allowed 10 dress herself,
and after bidding adieu 90 the leaders OF her de-
tenders, during which q most touching scene was
witnessed, the exiled Queen was escorted 20 q
private carriaRe which was In waiting NJ the
palace entrance, and was hastily driven 20 the
railroad station, followed by the cheers Of the
students and citizens Of Belgrade, whose en-
! thuslasm had to be kept within bounds by the
display Of an overwhelming force Of troops, who
| lined the entire route % the railroad station
At this station n special train was in waiting,
and the Queen was Immediately conveyed on
board. No sooner was the Queen and her per.
sonal baggage on board than the train left the
depot for the Hungarian frontier, and Natalie,
Of Seryia, calm, pale, but evidently suffering
| from intense emotion, left Belgrade the scene
Of 30 many Of her troubles and triumphs.
THE PRESENT SITUATION.
There Is no denying that the popularity Of
! the oxiled Queen has been greatly Increased by
the recent action Of tho authorities; and, on thu
other hand, there Is no doubt that the popularity
| Of the Ministry has decreased in proportion e
| the increase Of the Queens popularity. The
| pOpulaco is especially enraged against the Min
| lister Of War; Colonel Mlletics, who Is understood
10 have been the most active OF the Ministers II
| insisting that Natalie should be expelled. II
| fact, popular feeling against the Minister 0
| War is 80 great that II II probable that he vii
| be compelled TO tender his resignation.
CASUALTIES or THE FINAL FIGHT.
During the fight which took place last nigh
between the gondarmes who attacked the bod,
| Of students and citizens defending the Queen
palace one man was killed and nifty were NOR
| or less severely wounded.
