Washington, Oct. 1.-THE machinery
of the department of state is now at
work to save from death or prolonged
sionary who was kidnapped in Turkey.
The president himself has become ac-
lively interested in the matter. Satur-
day, DR.. Samuel H. Capen, president of
the American board of missions, and
DR.. Judson Smith, the foreign secre-
tary of that board, arrived in Washing
ton from Boston, and went directly to
the state department. After an hours
conference with Acting Secretary Adee
and Solicitor Penfeld, they were es-
corted to the white house. President
Roosevelt gave close attention to their
statement.
Although the department of state
already had taken up the matter, Pres
ident Roosevelt laid fresh injunctions
upon Mr.. Adee to spare no effort to
accomplish the purpose he had in view
of releasing Miss Stone. The clergy
men were highly gratified at the earn
estness exhibited by the president and
the state department officials and left
for their home in Boston satisfied that
the United States government was do
ing everything possible in Miss Stones
behalf. Owing to the peculiar condi-
tions of this case, none of the parties
to Saturdays conference was at lib
erty to make statement for publica-
ton respecting the measures to be
adopted. 1t is gathered that whatever

best chance of success in capturing their

can muster If later it should develop that
these vessels are at Santiago we could then
assemble off that port the ships best suit
ed for the purpose and completely blockade
it. Until we, then, receive more positive in
formation, we shall continue to hold Ha-
vana and Santiago"
Capt. Lemly then said: eff the court

counsel for the applicant to produce the
original of the letter from Admiral Samp-
son to Commodore Schley, dated May 20

add that the punctuation is as l stated
yesterday in the press copy.
He also at the request of Admiral Schley's
counsel introduced another copy Gin
which" he said, you will see there was no
correction. 1t appeared originally as

The court examined the original papers
and the press copies with care. and it was
agreed that the papers should again be
printed in the record
Capt. Lemly then requested that all the
papers in Admiral Schley's possession,
bearing upon the case, be supplied, and Mr.
Rayner replied for the admiral that he (Ad-
miral Schley) had no more papers.

tive way, Miss Stone must be ransomed
to begin with. Probably the ransom
money must come from the mission
board or from private contributions,
for the state department has no funds
which may be used to pay the ransom.
Boston, Oct. 1.-THE first mail Sat-
urday brought $4,000 toward the res
cue of Miss Stone, the missionary cap
tured by the bandits, in response to the
appeal issued by the American board
