Confined at SaIoniki.
Constantinople, Apr. 30.-Nadir
Pasha, the second eunuch of the pal.
ace under the regime of Abdul Hamid,
was hanged at dawn yesterday on the
Galata bridge, the great thorough.
fare that connected STEAMBOAT with the
quarters Of Galata and Pera. The body
was allowed to swing until eight O'Clock
in the morning, and thousands of the
people stopped to look at the great
Nubian whose name was terror un-
der Abdul Hamid. The dead mans
face showed an undershot jaw and
thick, heavy lips. In life he had been
fully six feet four inches tall. Nadir
was executed after a trial by court
martial on the charge that he insti-
gated the mutiny of the troops on
April 10.
Fehim Pasha Assassinated.
He was reputed to be intensely am.
bilious, subtle minded and insensible
to the sufferings of others. He was
one of the trio that formed Abdul
Hamid's private cabinet under the old
regime. The other members of this
cabinet were Izzet Pasha and Fehim
Pasha. The former, the sultan's secre-
tary, is now in hiding in London, and
the latter, who was head of the sui
tan's spy system, has been assassin.
ated somewhere in Russia.
Nadir Pasha came to the imperial
palace as slave and grew up in that
dollhouse of intrigue. Since the de-
parture Of Isset Pasha and Fehim
Pasha, Abdul Hamid has relied en-
tirely upon Nadir, who is regarded as
having been the chief conspirator in
the events of the 18th of April.
To Rescue Americans.
Mersina, Asiatic Turkey, Apr. So
Two battalions of Turkish troops ar.
rived yesterday. It is understood
that a strong detachment will at once
be sent up country to Hadjin to effect
the relief of the American women mis-
sionaries there who for nearly a fort
night have been besieged in their mis-
sion house by hordes of fanatical Mo-
hammedan tribesmen from the sur.
rounding country.
Terrible Conditions at Adana.
Adana, Apr. 30.-Conditions in the
country surrounding Adana as result
of the recent fanatical Moslem move.
ments upon the Christian population
are terrible. Dead bodies are lying
out on the fields. Numberless Armen.
ION
Conditions are most unsanitary and
dysentery is beginning to make it's
appearance.
The river that empties into the sea at
Mersina is carrying down many bodies
of men, women and children. Several
corpses drifted in close proximity to
the Italian warship in the harbor.
They undoubtedly were thrown into
the river in the country. The men
from the British warship in the Mersina
harbor are doing splendid service.
Ex-SuItan Is at SaIoniki.
Saloniki, European Turkey, Apr. 80.
The deposed sultan of Turkey, Alb
dull Hamid, arrived here yesterday
from Constantinople. He was accom-
panied by two of his sons and suite
of II persons, including II women of
his harem. The party were escorted
quietly to the villa in the suburbs set
aside for their use.
This villa was occupied until re.
Gently by Gen. Robilant, commander
of the Macedonian gendarmerie.
The governor of Saloniki asked the
general to move out, saying that "a
guest was expected"
It was thought wise to keep the de-
posed sultan in European Turkey, re-
mote from the capital. His household
will be administered for him upon a
generous scale and his life will be
safeguarded as he earnestly besought
when notified of his dethronement.
Fear No Attempt at Rescue.
Mahmoud Schefket Pasha, COM
handing the forces, intimated his in
tention to purify the capital of all sub
versive elements and to establish
salutary example to the army. He
said that he would have no half meas
ures, but would thoroughly clear up
the situation. For this purpose a
state of siege would be prolonged for
about month, but it would be re-
Taxed in the European quarter very
soon.
Referring to the deportation of Alb.
dull Hamid, Gen. Schefket expressed
the opinion that this measure was alb
solutely necessary in the interest of
futurp nnaca in tho ouniro Alludipo
to the report that the Albanians might
attempt to rescue the former sultan,
the general said he was convinced
that the Albanians would remain
quiet.
Wealth Estimated at 100000, 900.
