WASHINGTON, Oct 14. In his ca

port to tho war department. Ho do-
votes particular nttentlon to tho neces

without detriment, forgetting that
bodies of men can maintain tho power
of collective action only by frequent

CONSTANTINOPLE, Oct 14. Tho
situation in tho caso of Miss Stono to
night Is that Missionaries Balrd and
Haskell aro still trying to got In touch
with tho brigands In order to agreo on
tho amount of tho ransom. It Is
scarcely likely that UiIb agreement will
bo reached for somo days. As soon as
word comes from tho missionaries that
tho amount of the ransom has been do
termlned upon, a member of tho United
States legation will start for tho placo
with tho money.
BERLIN, Oct. 12. According to re
ports received hero from Sofia, tho cap
tors of Miss Stono demand that tho
ransom shall bo deposited at Samokoff
Bulgaria. A Bulgarian cattlo drover,
who wfa an eye-witness of tho kid
naplng, has been arrested on suspicion
of complicity in the outrage, at tho

LIBERAL POLICY WITH NAVY.
Congress Is to He Urged to He Generous
lu Matter of UullUlng.
WASHINGTON, Oct 14. It is prob
ablo that a liberal building policy
with respect to naval ships will bo
urged upon congress at tho approach
lng session. No authorization for
now construction was given by con
gross at tho last session owing in part
to a disagreement as to the rcspectlvo
morlts of single and supported tur
rets. Congress contented itself with a
direction to the Navy department to
submit full plans for two battleships
and two armored cruisers to It at the
approaching session, so that tho body
could itself chooso botwoon tho do-
signs.
Secretary Long, howovor, does not
regard himself as estopped by this
direction from recommending tho con
struction of additional warships and
as a full year has been lost in tho
oxocuton of tho naval bill from the
scheme laid down by tho Policy Board
and as more tlmo has been lost
through tho great delay in construc
tion of tko ships already authorized
and contracted for, owing to tho steel
strike, a considerable increase must bo
recommended in ordor to avoid fall
lng hopelessly behind In tho erection
of tho Ideal American navy.

BOSTON, Oct 12. The misunder
standing oxlsting in various parts of
tho country, Indicated especially in

tho progress of the fund to ransomo
Miss Stono, tho missionary, Is con
sidered to be sufficient reascm for tho
issuance of another appeal for funds
by tho clergymen who signed tho
first ono. Tho idea is to impress
upon tho peopio of America tho dan
gor which still thrcatono Miss Stono.
Tho Becond appeal follows :
"BOSTON, Oct 11. To tho Peopio

"Tho public should not bo deceived

tho history of tho abduction of Miss

"President Roosovelt and tho Wash

protects brigandage, and they intend

It will not bo limited, we Imagine, to

to punish tho authors of the outrago,

America is tired of being played with,
a naval demonstration is Quito on the
