Constantipole, August 13.-(Special)
A letter published in the journal "Sa-
ball." and written by Said Pasha, the
former grand vizier, has caused an
enormous sensation. In the course of
the communication the writer states
that he has received threatening letters
bearing the signature, Patriots" and
dema nding that he shall give 20 per
cent of his fortune to the Turkey Naval
league. Failure to comply with this
demand will mean assassination. After
one of these letters had been received
a deputation from the Turkish Navy
league called upon Said Pasha and made
the request that he should hand to
them a large sum of money and limited
THAT his refusal to do so might be
followed by consequences serious to
himself
A wild outbreak of Indignation fol-
|lowed this amazing attempt to raise
funds for the fleet. Nor is Said Pasha
1.-THE only man to be treated in this ex-
|traordinary manner. Many of the
Weather men in the district have re-

Presently small hand went up and he
asked him what he thought about it, and
