SULTAN IS IN PERIL i Advance Guard Readies Gates' of Constantinople, MEET WITH NO REHSTAiTJii Indications Are That Salonlkl Trs" Victory Will 2b Blcec.ess-Ti.rAi. i Foreign Office akca StrongDcnial of Rumors Tl st Sultin Ht3 Aui. cateo'snd la In Flight Palace Is Un dcr Strong Cuard. Constantinople, April 23.- The m-rt Important feature of the Situation nt the Turkish capital wna tho rtpo r that Sultan Abdul Hamld had abdi cated. It caused the greatest excit -ment In the lobbies of parliament and wns sprend with lightning rapid. ty throughout tho city. A rumor of the flight of tho sultan on n wnrs'alp fol lowod closely on thnt of his audio tlon, but neither could bo conflns" I I.nrgo crowds gathered nt the Britis i omhabsy, where, other rumors had it the sultnii had tnken lefuge, and thin hIbo wero scores of lnquiilos at ttu Russian embassy concerning tho trut.i of the rnmor that his majesty wrs en der the protection of Russia on one o. its gunrdshlps. At both of theso embassies alt knowlodgo of tho sultan's movements was denied and tho Turkish foreign office nlso gave tho strongest denial tc one nud nil of the rumors. The abdi cation of Abdul Hnmld, however, np pears to bo not Improbable. It Is feared that within n day or tw.o the constitutionalists may accept as his successor Prince Yussof Izzedln, the eldest son of tho late sultan, who 13 second in lino, as they aro Btrongly displeased with Abdul Hamld's atti tude. The pnlnce Is under strong guard and oven high officials wero not permitted to enter It. Tho constitutional forces have ad vanced to tho gates of Constantinople. They encountered no reslstnnco, nor does any resistance seem likely, unless it is at tho palace. The headquarters of tho constitutionalists' army Is at Doleagntch nnd General Husnl Pasha's forces, which now number between 20, 000 nnd 30,000, occupy a rango of hills nbout twenty miles from tho capltnl. Every hour rclnforcoments nre adding to their numbers. Will Awsit Reinforcements. It is not likely thnt tho entire nrmy will rench tho cnpltnl for some little time, as HubuI Pnsha nnd his military advisors deem It advisable to with hold tholr advance until they nro strong onotigh to win access by over whelming numbers. They hope that tho so called reactionary opposition will yield without fighting. The bring Ing up of tho relnforcemonts Is under tho direction of Nlazi Eey and Enver Bey. The civil direction of affairs continues at SalonikI, at which place constant communication is maintained with Constantinople. The '--- min istry, under Edham Pasaa, been inactive, excopt that n low pro aotions hnvo been made to fill the nc ancles caused by tho killing of officers, which it Is estimated uumber 200. There hnvo boon practically no preparations so far as can bo observed to resist the ndvauco of the Sa'onikl trco:s. It Is nnnouncod offlclaVv that tho deaths nt Adann during fie rioting numborcd 700, among the killed being many Turks. The tojegraph lines to tho ptovlnces hnvo been badiy hiter rupteu and 'otalls of the massacres nt Adnna, Tarsus nnd other places are lacking. Although tho rumors of the sultan's abdication remained unconfirmed, they seemed to produce a feeling of distinct rollof In Constantinople, arid tho ad vance of tho Salonlki army, which is slow, but steady, makes the settle ment of tho question of administration n matter of hours. The general belief Is held that the enveloping movement will be completed by tomorrow. Tho soldiers of the garrison appear to bo thoioughly cowed' by the advance of tho third army corps and the only cause for apprehension is the attitude of the fleet.whlch la held to bo doubtful Izzet Pasha and other government delegates who wore sent to confer with tho Salonlkaii3 have returned Izzet Pasha had a long conference with tho grand vlzlor. All that can ho learned of the conference is that tho Salonlkans reiterated their de mands already made and threnWnod to sond their battalions Into the city for the purpose of assisting tho author ities in maintaining ordor. The council of ministers is still de liberating. Business of all kinds Is practically suspondod and the civil and military officials appear paralyzed waiting for the outcome of events. The consensus of opinion is that If tho abdication of the sultnn is brought about his overthrow and the proclnma tlon of his successor will be made peacefully. Many Turkish families In the Stamboul qunrtar are leniovlng from tholr abodes tq places of greater safety, but in general the people, lu view or the qopifng vgjit,$,.nre nwnlt ing them philosophically nnd with res f gnat ion.
