Miss iieicn -. ne, the American
missionary who was carried off by

of Djumabala. 1t does not reveal the
whereabouts of Mss Stone, but says
she is in good health and has been
well treated by the brigands, espe-
cially in the earlier stages of the alb
dnction. Latterly, in consequence of
the vigorous pursuit of Turkish
troops, she had been subjected to pri-
vations. Miss Stone adds that the
briganls demand a ransom of 25,000
Turkish pounds ($l10,000) The opin-
ion is expressed in Constantinople
that the Bulgaro-Macedonian COM
nittee was actively concerned in the
