,stantinoi)k, Prince-Yussuflaz edDin, the Turkish Heir` Apparent,' 'Iva& fOtruNicad with hid trtbried cut: 'The Young Turk official announcementwas that ho had committed suicide while Bettering from neurasthenia. Facts; however, demand a reeonsideration of the official information. Prince Yussuf's father, the Sultan Abdul Aziz, "-committed suicide " in exactly the same -manner . in 1876, a few days after being driven from the throne. There 'is no doubt that he was assassinated. Again, Prince Yussuf , disliked and mistrusted the 'whole brood of Young Turks, and had openly opposed -them. His " suicide " was too convenient to them at this moment really to happen. Enver Pasha pro- bably says, with enough logic to satisfy any German conscience: " Of course his - method of suicide was suggested to him by his father's death, which had never been absent from the poor man's weak mind." Others will reverse the supposition, and conclude that the manner of the father's despatch suggested to Enver Pasha the plan of getting rid of the son.
