Claim Against Bulgaria.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.-It is said at
the State Department that no authorize
ton has been sent Consul General Dick
inson to promise exemption from punish
ment Of the brigands who kidnapped Miss
Stone as one of the conditions of her ran
som. In fact. our government has not
authorized any promise whatever to be
made that would bind its hands in dealing
with this subject in the future or that
would prevent it either from insisting upon
the punishment OF the brigands or from
lodging a demand for full indemnity for
the money which may be paid over as a
ransom for Miss Stone. There is no dis
position to disavow Mr.. Dickinson's acts,
but the officials here are confident that
he has not compromised the situation.
Because of his diplomatic rank 1t is left
to Mr.. Spencer Eddy, United States charge
at Constantinople, to make any necessary
Representations of a diplomatic character,
and that he is exercising his functions in
that direction is exhibited in the dispatches
published to-day disclosing the character
of the Representations he has been making
to the Bulgarian agents at Constantinople.
These representations make 1t evident that
the United States is laying the foundation
for a claim that Bulgaria is properly re-
sponsible for what has occurred, though
for prudential reasons the details of the
negotiations are withheld from publication.

In the northeast district Commandant

reprisals remains.
In Mr.. Mason's report the Kreuz Zeitung
sees a censure of the German government
and answers that duties in Germany are
States. and that Germany is only exactly
following the example the United States
has set in raising its duties. TIL paper in

Court to-day charged on a provisional war
rant with larceny committed in the United
