New York, Oct. 1l.-Three battaIions
iimiesnE marched through the country
between Dubnitza and Samakov and
searched the villages of the Rilok-
loster's district, in one of which it
was reported the brigands had con-
cealed Miss Stone. Colonel Gaschof,
at the head of about 800 Bulgarian
infantry and 500 Dragons, is securing
the ranges of Dospat and Rhodopegel-
bergen.
The American consul general at
Constantinople has arrived at Sofia
with an evangelical pastor from
PhilipOpolis as dragoman, and both
are taking energetic steps with the
Bulgarian government to effect Miss
Stones release.
The reputed leader Of the gang who
killed Stambouloff has met his fate.
Suspected of being associated with
the capture of Miss Stone he was shot
dead en- the frontier near Kostendit.
Though 81, 900 has been placed on his
head for the murder of Stambouloff,
Halo the name under which he was
known, was too influential a ruffian
for the Bulgarian police to arrest.
Four additional brigands have been
captured near Tschepino, and band
of 20, fully armed, were discovered
near Dubnitza and driven into the
mountains again.
