Special Cablegram to The Star.
PARIS, March 1.-THE Gil Bias pub
fishes an interview with the ex-sul-
tan, Abdul Hamid, at the Villa AL
lat1ni, communicated by high per-
sonage in the diplomatic world The
account is all the more interesting since
1t will probably be the last time the
world will hear repetition Of any words
spoken by Abdul Hamid The informant
of Gil Bias says that he has bound him
self not to reveal the date Of the inter-
view. which took place recently. Tcle-
grams from Constantinople today state
that henceforth the sultan will be guard
ed much more strictly, by picked body
of 100 troops under two trusted officers,
who will personally be held responsible
for his safe keeping.
AS the interviewer declares that
through the good offices of an influential
member of the committee of union and
progress he obtained permission to ac-
company one OF the doctors who daily
visit Abdul Hamid, and thus enjoyed q
ten minutes ''tete-a-tete" with the cap
tive monarch, his personality is desig-
mated as that of one of the first drago-
mans OF embassy, since Abdul hamid
speaks only in Turkish, and Turkish Of
| the highest and most difficult kind,
which no ambassador or secretary could
converse In. With the exception of con-
versations with Vambery, no interview
| with Abdul Hamid has been obtained by
any independent journalist or literary
| man for many years, and 1t appears ex-
tremely improbable that any further OPP
| portunity will be given for penetrating
| the privacy Of the Villa Allatini
The interviewer began by saying that
| he was actuated by great desire to see
again the sultan who had been so good
| to him in former days, and assured his
majesty that many hearts still turned
with respect and gratitude toward the
| Ealonik. palace
Says Climate Is Killing Him.
"A sad palace. replied the ex-sultan.
| where my old age on the brink of the
grave Is consumed in close captivity. The
climate Of Saloniki Is killing me; yet in
my utter solitude I nevertheless thank
God, the all-powerful and all-merciful,
for leaving me life and the friendship OF
