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.
Given Until 10 P. M. to Abdicate.
Paris, April 20. A special diapatch
from Constantinople says that tho
young Turks have given the su'tsn un
til 10 p. m. to abdicate.
