SALONIkI, Macedonia, May ii, 1870
Abdul Hamid. deposed Sultan of Tur-
key. is supposed to be a prisoner, with
his harem, in the Villa Alattini, on the
seashore about two miles west of the
city of Saloniki, in charge Of Maj. Eyoub
Sabri Bey, one of the organizers and
leaders of the recent revolution which
resulted in his overthrow.
use the word supposed" in this con-
nection because many people in SalOniki
are skepticaI concerning the presence of
the notorious prisoner at the villa. Some
insist he Is dead. others that he has been
taken away to some other prison.
Both give good reasons for their con-
victions. They insist that, although the
villa Is strictly watched by a military
guard, no lights are ever seen from the
windows after dark. and that a much
smaller supply of provisions is left there
daily than a few weeks ago
They insist there is no movement what
ever about the place, whereas formerly
Abdul Hamid was frequently in the gar
den. and even did some work in culti-
waiting the flowers with his own hands
when he first came. There have been no
signs of him for several weeks.
They recall the fact that his brother,
who was kept by him a prisoner in the
Dolma bactche Palace, at Constantinople,
for many years, was supposed to be there
still at the time of the revolution. When
delegation of Young Turks went down
10 release him he could not be found.
The women about the place and eu-
nuchs insisted that he had been dead
for many years. This was without the
slightest suspicion on the part of the pub
lie. which had every reason to believe
he was still living.
Some newspapers of SaIOnik assume
that Abdul Hamid Is dead: others that
he has been spirited away Those who
believe hA is still here admit he may be
III. But no physician has been called to
the villa since the latter part of Febru-
airy, and that is considered proof that he
is no longer there.

Then he appealed to the Jew instead of
the two Turks who composed the rest OF
the committee. His anxiety and terror
are said to have been pitifUl, but were re-
garded only with contempt.

Visitors Are Numerous.

Naturally, the villa is the subject of
great curiosity on the part OF the citizens
of Saloniki. The street car company has
almost doubled its business since its pres
ent occupant came to town. The rumors
that he has been taken away and that
he is dead increase the interest
Hundreds of people go out every day to
stare at the blank walls and gossip abou,

not allow them to stop. If any one hats

roughly ordered to move on.

After the sultan was dethrohed his life
was spared at the request Of the German
