DIPLOMATS D1sPLEAsED.
A Bulgarian Circular Called A "High-
Handed Action"

Sofia, Bulgaria (By Cable) "A
disagreeable impression has been
produced in diplomatic circles here
by a circular note issued from the
Bulgarian ministry of justice, which
orders that in the future the sub
jects of foreign powers in Bulgaria
shall be treated on the same basis
as natives; in other words, they are
no longer to enjoy the intermediary
of their consuls. The circular sets
forth that the declaration of Bulga-
rian independence on October has
annulled the so-called capitulations
which exempted foreigners from the
Jurisdiction of the local courts.
The diplomatic representative of
one of the great powers described
this circular as "high-handed ac-
tion," which the powers would vigor-
ously oppose. This tendency of Bull
garia to extricate herself from treaty
obligations in ways that are not pop
ular, he added, will lead the pow
ers to insist upon the retention OF
the capitulations for q definite peri
cd as one of the conditions to the
recognition of Bulgarian independ-
ence.

been suffering with heart trouble
for several years, and had consulted
some of the most eminent specialists

spent the forenoon quietly in read
ing and study. He was in his usual
health at lunch, after which meal he
went to his room to prepare for a
drive. Mrs. Gilman heard a noise
in the room as IL something had fal-
len, and she hurried upstairs and

months ago, was found by his wife a
few days ago working in mine at
Joplin, Mo. He has been brought
back here. He is unable to give q
coherent account of what has hap
pened to him since last June.

ployed after his mysterious disaD-
pearance declare that Webb was alb

Quoted his abductors never demand

friends, and nothing Is known TO

men to abduct him and expose them
selves to Imprisonment
All that Webb knows is that, hnd-
ing himself near Joplin, Mo, whore
he once worked In mine, he sought
employment there and for several
weeks welded a sledge or held a
drill.
The owner of one of the mines,
]. IL. Putnam who knew him years
ago, recognized him and notified
Mrs. Webb Of his whereabouts. She,

of Webb, went to Joplin after him.
Webb is guarded in his home, and
detectives are still working on the
peculiar case. He says he sent for
his wife, but this does not agree
with the statements of others.

1t is charged that the alleged abb
ductors took Webb's clothes and valu-
ables and left them in a bath house
at Galveston, to make it appear that
he was drowned while bathing. An
attempt was made to collect a policy
of insurance In the New York Life
but payment was refused.
The detectives assert that for a
time Webb was kept in a private
asylum where he was piled with
drugs. Neil Bsperson, one of the
men who went to Joplin to bring
Webb back. said
