; The Sultan Abdul Aziz was dethroned in
j the latter part of May, 1876, by revolution
! in the palace, assisted by students; the latter
being called softas and forming an important
factor OF the disturbing element of society at
hat time. On the thirtieth Of MAY the
tonspirators, led by the ministers of the
twelfth Of May, including Midh.t Fasha,
! sent a messenger to Prince Murad Effendi
son of the late Sultan Abdul Medjid,
Informing him that he must come to
the palace to be made sultan. The Prince
obeyed, and was formally declared sultan as
Abdul Aziz was then Informed that he had
been deposed, and must be taken to the Serial
OF Top kapau, which had been assigned him
as his residence. The deposed monarch was
excited to violent outburst of rage at this
message; but when he was shown the guards
posted around the palace he exclaimed :
"Great is Allah!" and fell into stolid des.
peration. Accompanied by his mother, sons
and eleven Of his wives, he was taken to Top
Kapau, whence he was shortly removed to a
pavilion Of the palace Of Tcheragan, which
had been assigned as his residence. Here he
was found dead on the morning of June4 His
! body was examined by council of nineteen
/ physicians of various nationa1itiea, who agreed
that he had killed himself by cutting his veins
with pair of scissors. NIidhat Pasha, who
was afterward banishcd and went to Italy, is
probably one of the ex-ministers referred to in
the above dispatch, who are implicated in the
death of Abdul Aziz.
