German Feeling Against England.

The news that DR.. A. Conan Doyle
was unable to find a publishing house
in Germany with courage enough to
publish his statement of the British
side of the South African war willnot
be readily understood in this coun,
try. Probably more Americans
sympathize with the Beers than with
the British, but we are always ready
to listen to both sides of any qnes
ton, Mcclure, Phillips & Co., whom
DR.. Doyle has selected to put out the
work in this country, have agreed to
publish and circulate it at the mere
cost OF printing.

May Be Impossible to Punish Brigands

Washington, Feb. 2G.-The State
Department to-day received the first
official announcement it has had of
Miss Stones release.
Mr.. Leischman cabled that Miss
Stone was suffering from fatigue and
nervous strain, and would not at
tempt to move from Strumnitza to
her home in Salonica until to-day or
tomorrow.
Now that the captive is released,
the State Department does not hest
tate to announce its full approval OF
all that has been done toward effect
ing the release by Minister Leishman
and Spencer Eddy.
The department finds it impossible
ut this moment to determine upon
the next step to be undertaken in this
case. There is reason to suspect that
pledges have been given by Miss
Stone and by the rescuing agents
which will very much complicate any
efforts to secure the punishment OF
the brigands. If no such promises
have been given, then the State De-
partment will very promptly call up,
on both Turkey and Bulgaria topur
sue these brigands to the point ofex'
] termination.
