MISS. STONE FREE
SAYS VICE CONSUL
She Arrived at Strumitza, Macedonia,
Sunday Morning.
MADAME TsILKA AND BABY RELEASED
They Are All Well, and Apparently None the
Worse for Their Long Captivity For Over
Five Months the American Missionary Was
a Captive Of the Brigands-A Message to
Miss Stones Mother.

Constantinople (By Cable) Miss ~
len NJ. Stone, the American missionary,
who with Nine. Tsilka, was captured by
brigands in the district of Salouika Sep
tember 8 last, has been released. and ar
rived at Strumtz, Macedonia, at 3
o'clock Sunday morning.
Nobody was at Strumitz to meet Miss
Stone, as the brigands had given no in
dication where they proposed to release
the prisoners. Nine. Tslka and her baby
were released at the same time. They
are all well. Miss Stone Immediately
made herself known to the authorities
at StrumitZ
The first news of Miss Stones release
was contained in telegram received by
Mr. Dickinson. the American consul
general at Constantinoplc. from the Am
erican vice-consul at Salonika. The tel
egram gives no details of the release. AS
Strumitz is near the Salonika Uskub
Railroad. Miss Stone will proceed to
Salonika without delay.
London (By Cable) Cabling from
Constantinople, the correspondent of the
Daily Chronicle says he understands
that. owing to the necessity of protecting
the innocent persons who assisted them,
the American delegates will never di-
yulge where and how the ransom money
for 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. 1t is practi
cally certain that the ransom money will
go to the Macedonian committee.
Boston (SpeciaD Secretary Barton,
OF the American Board, has received the
following cablegram:
Both Miss Stone and Nine. Tsilka
and child released from confinement in
good physical condition and good spir-
its"
Secretary Barton regards this news as
absolutely authentic, as the missionaries
OF the board have been given instructions
to send no cablegrams based on mere re-
ports, but to await until positive infor-
nation could be given.
