LAYS 1T To THE SULTAN.
DR.. MesrODian Says Ruler of Turkey
Ordered Kidnapping.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Oct. S.-Dr. Mes
ropian, of this city, a physician and a
native of Armenia, who has lectured
considerably in Eastern cities on the
atrocities practiced upon the Armenians
by the Turks, declares that the abduction
of Miss Stone, the American missionary,
by brigands in Bulgaria was the work
of the sultan of Turkey.
81 am sure it was he who ordered the
brigands to carry off Miss Stone,' said
DR.. Mesropian.
He ordered her to be taken across the
Bulgarian border so as to distract sus-
picion from himself. 1t is a move in
retaliation for the enforced payment of
the 100000 indemnity that the United
States exacted of Abdul Hamid for the
burning of American ionary build
ings [ believe it would be better for
the government to send a warship over
there than to pay the ransom.
Missionaries will not be safe after
Abdul Hamid has received the ransom
They will be abducted everywhere. The
sultan is determined to be revenged for
the loss of that $4,000, and the abduc-
ton serves a double purpose-the return
of the money and the behest of fanati-
cism. There is no crime the Turk won't
commit in the name of his religion

capt. Folger also said that he had no
recollection Of a picket line on the inside
of the American fleet
AT the request of Capt. Parker, of
counsel for Admiral Sch!ey, witness ex-
amined the log of the New Orleans for
May 80 and 81, 1888, for the purpose of
determining accurately the state of the
weather, but he declined to modify his
statement of yesterday that the wealth.
er on those days was bad.
BROOKLYN AND NEW YORK.
Capt. Folger was then excused and
Lieut.. Dyson was called. He was ques-
toned by Capt. Lemly concerning the
steaming condition of the Brooklyn on
July g.
The judge advocate asked, what does
the Brooklyn's steam log show as to the
number of engines coupled up and boil
ers in use July 8, $685. as compared with
the total engine and boiler power of the
vessel?''
The reply was: ''fhe Brooklyn has four
engines, two to each shaft, connected to-
gether by coupling. She has seven boil
ers, five main and two auxiliaries On
! the morning of July 3 both forward en-
gines were uncoupled; there We're banked
fires under three of the main boilers.
The other boilers were what is called
dead, no steam in them. Judging from
1.-THE time it took to start fires in these
boilers after the Spanish fleet came out
of the harbor, should say the furnaces
were not even primed, and two of the
boilers had to be run up to the sea
steaming level. 1t took from 9:35 TO 10
to start fires
In response to other questions witness
detailed from the log of the Brooklyn
all that was done on that vessel to get
up speed.
Mr.. Rayner asked if it was not neces-
sary to stop the ship to couple the un-
coupled engines, and witness replied that
the ship could have been kept going
with one engine while the other one was
coupled The engines were designed. he
said, to be kept coupled during war. Dis
cussing the speed of the various vessels
of the fleet on } y 8, witness said that
the Oregon got up a speed about equal
to the Brooklyn on that day, nOtwith-
standing that on her trial trip the Brook
lyn made over twenty-one knots to the
Oregon's seventeen knots.
He called attention to the fact that
the New York had made sixteen or sew
enteen knots speed on the day of the
battle. In response to questions from
Capt. Parker he said that the New York
had not had her engines coupled on the
day of the battle, and that the Brook
lyn had made all the speed necessary.
After Lieut.. Dyson was excused Com
modore Hodgson was recalled for the
purpose of correcting errors in his testi-
mony as printed in the official record.
He took occasion to change some of the
language of his previous testimony. One
Of these changes was made in response

ter was acting as a guard of prisoners
hauling water for the garrison stationed
at Baratic Nuevo. Panay. The native
claimed at his trial to have been a regu-
lar insurgent soldier, but it was proved
that he was within the American lines
without uniform and disguised as a
pacifico. He was sentenced to be hanged.
With a rock, a rice beater and a club,
one Faustino Ruis, and some of his COM
panions, set upon a native named Acas-
ia whom they suspected of aiding the
American cause, and beat him to death.
Ruis was sentenced to be hanged.
Two natives were tried, charged with
the murder of Private Eugene K. Lyons.
Company K, Fifth infantry, whom they
enticed to an isolated place, killed him
with bolos and buried him on the spot.
They, too, were sentenced to death. A
formidable array OF charges was that
against Juan Confessor, native Filipino,
who was tried for aiding the enemy, vio-
lating the laws of war, being a war rebel,
arson and perjury. Twenty years im-
prisonment at hard labor was the sem
tence.

THE RANSOM FUND.
Rush of Contributions Has Ceased
for the Moment.

BOSTON, Oct. S.-No additional state
ment of money received of the ransom
fund for Miss Stone was given out by
Kidder, Peabody & Co. after the one late
in the afternoon showing $40 574.61 in cash
and $1,000 in unpaid pledges This made
the total $56,57461, to which will be added
in the morning the sums received over
night. The rush of contributors is over
because of the general opinion that the
critical moment has been averted, and
that months time offers ample oppor-
tunity to add to the fund. Mr.. Charles
A. Stone, brother of the captive mission
ary, wishes activity for the fund to con-
tinue for a few days longer. He hopes
that the cabled dispatches indicating
that the brigands have granted months
time are right, although he has no per-
sonal confirmation of that fact, having
repeatedly sent messages to both Con-
stantinople and Samakov. He says the
idea in the West that he had stated that
no more money was needed because
enough had been given is wrong. He is
still anxious about getting the total of
$4,000 Next Saturday will be Miss
Stones twenty-third anniversary of her
sailing from Boston for the missionary
field in Bulgaria.

LONDON. Oct. 9-The Daily Mail has
received the following dispatch from its
Vienna correspondent: In reply to a
telegram addressed to him today. Gen.
Zontschew, president of the Macedonian
committee, denies that the committee
had any hand in the abduction of Miss
Stone. He adds that the committee de-
sires the support of the civilized world for
the Macedonian cause, and therefore
would not commit such a folly. The
Turks did the deed and Turkey must be
made responsible
NJ. Dahnew, the Bulgarian foreign min

says 5000 men are now engaged in the
