News has been received thus far to-
day from TrobiZond, Jerusalem and
Smyrna, where the change in the Sui

ings. Numberless flags We're raised
aloft in each city as a sign of satsfac-

like manner.

CHARGES AGAINST ABDUL.
Official Decision Against tho Deposed
Ruler of Turkey.

Constantinople, April 2S.-The fetwa,
or official decision of the Sheik- Ul-Is-
lam, authorizing the deposition of Abb
dull Hamid, has been made public. 1t
embraces the questions put by Parlia-
ment to the Sheik- Ul-Islam and his
answers thereto. The text follows:
What becomes of an imam (the title
If the Sultan of Turkey as head of the
Orthodox faith, who has destroyed
certain holy writings, who has seized
property in contravention to the Sheri
laws, who has committed cruelries in
ordering the assassination and impris-
onment of exiles without any justifi-
cation under the Sheri laws. who has
squandered the public money. who,
having sworn to govern according to
the Sheriat, has violated his oath, who.
by gifts of money has provoked in
ternecine bloodshed and civil war and
who nc longer Is recognized in the
provinces
To this the Sheik- Islam replied:
HE must abdcate or be deposed."
Not one of the Constantinople news
papers has good word for Abdul Ha-
mid, whose life and reign are being
held up to universal execration. On
the other hand the accession of Me-
hemmed V is regarded rs the dawn
of a new era.
In order to enable the public to in
dulge in rcioicings temporary sus-
pension of the state of Siege until 10
o'clock tonight was ordered. The city
was illuminated but fireworks were
prohibited.
The cabinet has been requested to
rei1ain in office for some days longer.
