physical conditions, such as heavy SHOWS

failure to secure her delivery The Of
ficials are loath TO believe that there has
been breach of faith on the part Of
the brigands, but even If this were so,
they do not regard themselves as blame
worthy for having trusted them.
From the first the United States Gov
eminent has been averse to paying ram
som, but in response to appeals from
every quarter, reluctantly authorized
Mr.. Leishman to deal with the brigands.
However, if it turns out that the bril-
gands have broken faith and that they
have taken the ransom money aud spir-
tied the captives away agaip. or that
they have killed them, then there Will
be no further attempt to deal with the
brigands ON the part of the United States
Government, but it's entire power will
be directed upon Turkey and upon Bull
gsria TO procure the swift and certain
determination of the brigands, regard
