Bulgaria Resents the InsinuationS
Published Abroad That Govern
ment Is Acting in Bad Faith in
Matter OF Effecting Captives'
Release

Sofia, Nov 2O.-Mr. Dickinson, ac-
cording to the Vezerna Posta, whose
editor was a member of the former
Macedonian committee, has sent an
uItimatum to the brigands giving them
six days to accept a specified sum as
them ransom for Miss Stone. If this
amount is not accepted within the time
mentioned, Mr.. Dickinson's offer will be
withdrawn.
The foreign office here resents the
insinuations published abroad that the
government is acting in bad faith in
the matter of effecting the release of
Miss Stone, and, explaining its at
titude toward Mr.. Dickinson, the diplo-
matte agent here of the United States,
affirms its entire readiness to take any
action suggested by him.
The foreign office also AYERS that,
acting upon the suggestion of Mr..
Dickinson, it caused the village of
Gratchowe to be surrounded and
searched a fortnight ago. but the
brigands were not there. 1t also says
that Mr.. Dickinson's later information.
to the effect that the bandits were con-
cealed in a defle of the Belleritza
Mountains, district of Dubnitza, could
not be acted upon by it as an inquiry,
showed the place in question to be
within Turkish territory.
The latest intelligence received here
sets forth that the brigands are hold
ing out for a high figure of ransom,
and it is asserted that they are able
to keep their captives as long as this
may be necessary.

crash, scalding to death those of the

from the passengers, 1t is learned THAI
the sleeping cars, with one or two SIX
ceptions, suffered slightly, and as a
result the passengers were afforded
comparative protection from injury.
