Kidnapped For Political Purpose,


New York. Feb. 24-Spencer Eddy,
first secretary of the United States
legation at Constantinople, who had
charge OF the negotiations for the re-
lease of Miss Ellen NJ. Stone and Mrs.
Tsilka, arrived here yesterday on the
Kronprinz Wilhelm. In an interview
he said the brigands captured an
American rather than any other mis-
sionary because they believed the
Americans had the most money and
would be likely to pay the ransom. He
continued: 1T is entirely a political
matter, and all the people in Mace
donia are in sympathy with the kid
mapping. for they believe it is step
toward freeing Macedonia from Turk
ish rule If we had been dealing with
the professional brigands who wanted
money pure and simple, instead of the
political ones, Miss Stone would have
been released long ago. MacedonianS
have risen up as one man in their de-
termination to be freed from Turkey.
and this Kidnapping Of the two Amen-
can missionaries may be called chap
ter one in their plan for liberty"

AGAIN WE HEAR OF
RELEASE OF MISS STONE
This Time Il Is Said She Is at Siru-

self Known

Constantinople, Feb. 24.-Miss Ellen
M. Stone. the American missionary,
who with Nine. Tsilka, was captured
by brigands in the district of Salonika
on September last has been re-
leased and arrived at Strumitz, Mace
donia, at 3 o'clock yesterday morning.
Nobody was at Strumitz to meet Miss
Stone, as the brigands had given no
Indication where they proposed to re-
lease the prisoners.
Madame Tsilka and her baby were
released at the same time. They are
all we'll Miss Stone Immediately
made herself known to the authorities
at Strumitz.
The first news Of Miss Stones re-
lease was contained in a telegram
received by Mr.. Dickinson, the Ameri'
can consul general at Constantinople
from the American vice consul at Sa
lonika. Strumitz is near the Salonika
Usl1ub Railroad. Miss Stone proceed
ed to Salonika without delay.
It is said that on account of the
necessity of protecting the innocent
persons who assisted them, the Ameri
can delegates will never divulge
where and how the ransom money fol
the release of Miss Stone was paid
The correspondent learns, however
that the ruse of filling the money bags
with lead after the ransom had been
paid, with a view of making it appear
that the mission to pay the ransom
had failed, was completely successful
