ANTICIPATION.
Turkey is Already Preparing to
Resist the Demands
Which the United States is Ex-
pected to Make Before Long.

Constantinople, Oct. 31.-The Turkish
government is already preparing to re-
sist the anticipated demand of the
United States for the repayment of the
ransom necessary to secure the release
of Miss Ellen NJ. Stone the abducted
American missionary. The porte re-
pudiates all responsibility for the kid
mapping of Miss Stone, and maintains
that the United States has no claim
against Turkey and that, therefore. the
latter is justified in refusing to recoup
the United States for the money ex-
pended in her rescue.
A high Turkish official this morning
informed a representative of the United
States that the Turkish resistance OF
any claims would be based upon the
contentious:
First-That Miss Stone, although
warned of the dangers of the road per-
sisted in travelling; second, that she did
not notify the authorities of her inten-
ton in order to obtain an escort, which
precaution even the foreign consuls al
ways take when travelling in such OUT
lying, insecure districts of the empire,
and, third, that the brigands who kid
mapped Miss Stone and her companion,
were Bulgarians; that the coup was
planned in Bulgaria and that sanctuary
was found in Bulgarian territory.
