ABDUL HAMiD NoWIN PRISON.

Deposed Sultan Of Turkey, With
His -Four Wives, Five Daughters,
Two Sons and Servants, Taken
Frem Yildiz Palace to a Large
House With Walled Grounds on a
Height Overlooking Salonih.
Constantinople, By Cable The
former ruler Of the empire, Abdul
Hamid II, is to be kept prisoner in
a large house with walled grounds on
q height overlooking Saloniki, which
has lately been occupied by the Ital-
ian commander Of the international
gendarmerie. He is not to be put on
trial, as has been widely reported
in Constantinople, for he is consider
ed to be above the law.
It was thought yise to keep the de-
posed Sultan in European Turkey, re-
mote from the capital. His house
hold will be administered for him
upon a, generous scale, and his life.
will be safeguarded, as he earnestly
besought when notified of his death
by dethronement.
Abdul Hamid, with four wives,
five daughters, and two Of his young
er. sons, two eunuchs and compare
lively large number of female serv-
ants was taken from the Yildiz pal
ace Tuesday night and started under
an escort to Saloniki. The party pro-
ceeded by steam launches to the land
ing near the railway and a special
train on which they we're to be
placed, left at o'clock in the morn
ling. The eonstitutionaiists would
like to get back part Of the great
sums of money that the former Sui
tan is supposed to have abroad, not
only because the government is in
need Of the money, but because it is
desirable that he should be deprived
Of the resources for another coup
d 'etat. Speculation places Abdul
Hamid s wealth at anything between
$25,0O0,000 and $200,O0O,00O.
