FERDINAND BLAMED.
Bulgaria's Ruler Implicated in the
Kidnapping of Miss Stone.
a Brigand Named Dimitri, Who Through
Torture Was Forced to Make Confes-
,sion, Says Miss Stone Il Party
to the plot.

Paris, Oct. "a letter received by
the Havas agency from Salonica,
dated October 4, says: The American
consul here has just received orders
to make the arrangements with the
vail (governor) for the payment of
the ransom for Miss Stone. The
United States will advance the money,
afterward settling with Turkey. The
Turkish authorities have made nu-
merous arrests among the Bulgarian
population without distinction of re-
ligion, and nearly all have been put
to torture in the hope of abstracting
information. A prisoner named Dimi-
tri said an understanding existed be-
tween the Protestants and the Mace
DOMAIN committee and that Miss Stone
was even acting in concert with them,
with the view of obtaining funds for
a political-religious propaganda.
These declarations, wrung from Dimi-
tri under torture, are valueless. What
is certain is that the captain of the
band designated for the payment of
the ransom place in proximity to
the Roumanian frontier, which proves
that he hopes to escape the Turkish
police, and that the Bulgarian police
do not cause him anxiety.
