garian frontier had laid all his plans
and disposed his men to surround the
brigands last Saturday at noon. Secre-

Miss Stone would be put to death. He

Turkish Minister of Foreign Affairs, at
3 o'clock Saturday morning. and de-
manded that the Turkish troops be
withdrawn Immediately.
The order was promptly telegraphed
to the frontier, the Turks retired and
, the Bulgarian soldiers who were CO.
operating with the Sultan's men in the
surrounding movement also fell back.
The diplomatic corps here applauded
Secretary Eddy's action, for they be-
llcve that any attempt to rescue Miss
Stone by force will result in her muir
der.

APPEAL FOR FUNDS.
NEW YORK. Oct 14.--Rev. c. c.
Creegan. district secretary of the
American Board OF Foreign Missions,
gave out letter today, a part of
which reads as follows:
ITO the American People---The case
of Miss Stone, now in the hands of the
Turkish brigands. has undergone no
material change. In the office of the
American board and among her imme-
date friends the greatest anxiety pre-
Nalls. Our government at Washing
ton has not modified the opinion ut
tered by President Roosevelt that there
is but one thing to do, and that is to
raise the sum demanded for her ran
som, and that as quickly as possible
or this amount 1000 has already been
the largest part in Boston
and immediate vicinity. A multitude
of her neighbors, in every condition of
life, have poured their gifts into the
Boston office for her deliverance, but it
is not sufficient. Fifty thousand dol
lars more are required. We appeal now
TO those among us who by the blessing
of God have larger financial ability to
supplement the contributions of their
neighbors, so that the necessary sum
may be reached.
An answer is anXiously awaited at
the office of the American board, u
East Twenty second street, New York.
where subscriptions to the undersigned
will be received.
