Boston Lacks Confirmation.

Boston. Feb. 2o.-Rev. Judson Smith,
secretary of the American board of
foreign missions, was asked if he had
received confirmation ofsthe freeing of
Miss Stone. He answered:
I'VE know nothing of the freeing of
Miss Stone beyond what has been told
in the press dispatches. If w. w. Peet,
our representative in Constantinople,
was with Dragoman Gargiulo of the
American embassy when Miss Stone
was released he would cable us from
the first telegraphic station he reaches
on his way back to Constantinople. If
Miss Stone has been freed we should
certainly receive word from him today.
Il can hardly credit the report that
MIR. Tsilka has been arrested am
free to say that no suspicion of his COM
plicity with the brigands has heretofore
been hinted at in either our or the Dip
lomatic negotiations for Miss stones
release.
Nine Tsilka's condition at the time
of her capture makes collusion on her
or her husbands part hard to believe.
Mr. Tsilka is an American in every
thing but the accident of birth. He
came here when child and was edu-
Gated in the Junior Theological Semi
nary in New York"
