BR|GANDS HARD TO FIND
Missionaries Fail to Locate the
Whereabouts of Captors of
Miss Stone.
WANT TO NEGOTIATE FOR HER RELEASE
Rough Nature of Country and Heavy
Rains, Accompanied by Thick
Mists, Make Travelling Over Narrc"
Paths Difficult - Missionary az
SamOkOv Thinks Miss Stone Safe.

Constantinople, Oct. 21.-Neither w.
w. Peet, treasurer of the American
Bible house, nor Spencer Eddy, secre-
tary of the United States legation,
had received any news up to noon
Saturday from the missionaries who
are searching for the brigands who
kidnapped Miss Ellen NJ. Stone and her
companion, Nine. Tsilka.
Messrs. Peet and Eddy had long
conference Saturday as to the advis-
ability of reinforcing the searchers,
but decided that the present arrange
ments sufficed.
Consul General Dickinson remains
at Sofia, and will operate from there
until the liberation of Miss Stone is
accomplished.
The difficult nature of the country
handicaps the searchers, and heavy
rains have increased the difficulty of
traversing the paths which are the
only means of access to the hiding
places of the bandits in the rugged
mountain range, flanked on the west
by the Rio and on the east by the
Rhodope mountains, the SUBMITS of
which are already capped with snow
extending some distance down.
Thick mists generally envelope the
region in autumn, preventing even eX-
perienced mountaineers, shepherds
and wood cutters from travelling.
Early in the week one of the mission
airy searchers actually located the
band and was approaching their re-
treat when the brigands, apparently
fearing the approach of troops, Shift
ed their quarters and track of them
was again lost. Now, however, that
the troops have been called off the
directors of the search are hopeful
of making better progress, though
they point out that even after the
brigands are found the negotiations
may be prolonged, especially in view
of the lack of telegraph facilities.

from Samokov:
AFTER ~ years OF experience In Bulgaria,
during which 1 won the sobriquet, Bull
garian Atrocity, my knowledge of the
brigands leads me to believe they are wide
ly dispersed and Miss Stone is quietly Sc
questered in some mountain village, of
which the villagers, partly in sympathy,
partly in fear, would scorn to tell the au-
thorities Modern brigands are sorry sue
cesses. They are chivalrous cutthroats
who believe that if they touched damsel
they would die in a Turkish prison. A
Turkish minister is credited with the flip
pant, though expressive saying: The kid
naping of another American woman would
bankrupt the Ottoman empire"
