NOT FLEEClNG SULTAN
Young Turks Have Not Demanded
Half His Private Fortune.

Constantnople, Aug 13-The report
that the Young Turks had demanded
that the sultan surrender one-half Of
his private fortune to aid In the re-
Mobilization OF the empire is declared
here to be quite untrue. Many similar
irresponsible statements are to be
found In the local press or are given
out by members of the Young Turk
committees For instance, it was an
nounced recently that the sultan had
offered 100000 toward the purchase Of
two cruisers. but this rumor is still
without any confirmation whatever
Abdul Hamid has made donations for
variety OF objects. and II is believed
that reports like the foregoing are
launched to act as a hint.
The discomfort launched by the dis
missal OF large numbers of officials has
induced the present government to
make an effort to eject retrenchment
by reducing salaries instead of dis
mlssal Consequently It has been de-
cided that all salaries above $50 a
month shall be reduced by one half.
