SULTAN MAY FIND
REFUGE IN PARIS

LONDON. April PA report ema..
mated today from the st. James Club,
the headquarters of both English and
foreign diplomats. that the Sultan is ex-
pected soon to Zee TO Paris. Owing TO
the intimate knowledge which the men,
bers Of the club have of Turkish af-
fairs, the report is given great Gre
dence. Similar beliefs are expressed IN
all Of London's service clubs, the mem
bership Of which is made up of naval
and military men
The fight of the Sultan would un-
doubtedly be welcomed by the Young
Turks as the easiest solution of the
problem Of the dispc dtion to make OF
him. It is believed lhat If Abdul does
seek safety in fight. Il will be by boat
TO other than a Turkish port. If the
Sultan once puts himself beyond the
confines Of his own country, the Young
Turks may be counted on to see that he
does not return.

between the Sultan and the Young
Turks, was nullified at the last moment
as result of the Sultan receiving en-
couragemant from Berlin.
Negotiations are believed to be still
progressing between the two, with
Abdul's retention of his throne the
question upon which the outcome
hinges. The Sultan is said to have
agreed to swear in the presence Of the
Sheik-ul-Islam and a deputation from
parliament, that he will maintain the
constitution, restore the Hilmi Pasha
cabinet and turn over the leaders OF
the mutiny to the Young Turks. He has
refused to abdicate or replace the pre-
sent ConstantinOple guard with an army
selected by the Young Turks, 1t is said
An increasing number Of the Young
Turks are today demanding that the
Sultan abdicate. The besiegers man
euvercd all night and are today reported
to have placed their guns in such a po-
sition as to attack the Ytldiz Kiosk with
the minimum of danger to the rest of
the town.
Soldiers Guard Palace.
Five thousand soldiers are guarding
the Sultan's palace, and they have been
aroused TO fanaticism through an ap-
peal to their religious saith. Should a
fight occur, the Yildiz [iosk is sure TO
be the center of it. The defenders have
sworn to die before surrendering to the
Young Turks.
The SultanshiP Of Rechad Enendi, the
Sultan's brother, has already been in
formally proclaimed in several towns
in Monastir, but this viii not be bind

and civil ceremony.
