GENEVA, oct. S1.-Sultan Abdul
Hamid is practically prisoner in his
palace. the Yieldiz Kiosk under a new
guard Of Young Turks. according to a
message received here to-day by the
head of the Young Turks bureau.
This radical step by tho Young
Turks was due TO the discovery of a
cipher message in the Sultan's corre-
spondence which proved conclusively
that he is in an intrigue to promote a
Turko- Bulgarian war with the idea of
overthrowing the new regime.
To-day's message from the Young
Turks says that a censorship has been
established over the Sultan's corre-
spondence and that absolutely no COM
munication is allowed between him
and the reactionaries that does not
first go through the hands of the Young
Turks guard.
The executive committee Of the
Young Turks has it's headquarters In
this city and is In constant communi-
cation with the leaders Of the party in
I Turkey. The fate of the Sultan really
rests with this committed and it has
] been debating for some time the ques.
ton of allowing him to continue OF
