CASE BECOMES SERIOUS.
Miss Stones AbductOr's Are Holding Out
for Full Sum.

Constsntinople, Nov. 4-Late to-
day the case of Miss Stone again be-
came serious. The brigands are still
holding out for the e25, 600 ransom,
and it is feared that should they per-
sist in their demand Miss Stone will
have to be sacrificed. Nevertheless,
the negotiations are still proceeding.
Anxiety prevails this evening at the
United States legation whence there
has been an active exchange Of tele-
grams between Secretary Eddy and
various points. Mr.. Eddy had long
conference with Sir Nicholas R.
O'Conner, the British ambassador
here, who is actively assisting in the
efforts to bring about Miss Stones
release.
So far from there being any con
firmation of the rumors of her death
circulating in the Bulgarian border
districts, it is said here that another
letter, written two days ago, has been
received from her.
