SOFIA, Dulgarla. Oct. 26. (New York World Cablegram Special Telcgrnni.) Tho rumor Fet nlloat In tho bazaar hero today that Ellen M. Stone, tho American mission nry held In captivity by brigands In the mounUlus on the border of Turkoy, hud died of hardships nnd exposure Is not bo llcved' by the government of Dulgarla nor by tho American diplomatic agent recently stationed here, C. M. Dickinson. Mr. Dancff, Ilulgnrlan minister of foreign affairs, said In an Interview today: "We, tho members of the government, firmly bo llevo that Miss Stone Is alive and well, but we can neither afllrm nor deny the report that Mrs. Tsllka Is dead. Miss Stone, we believe, Is In Turkish territory. We have troops HcnttCrcd from Dubultz to Choplnd watchlug tho frontier and search ing for the brigands. A regiment of In fantry nnd a squadron of cavalry aro Bta tloned nt one point nnd half u regiment of Infantry Is ut another. Tho shepherds In the mountains overywhero have been ques tioned, but they had no news of tho brig ands or of Miss. Stone. If Miss Stone were en Ditlgarlan soil It would ho the easiest thing In tho world to rescue her. "We. cannot guarantee the truth of the teport, but It Is stated that tho brigands are In Macedonia and that they spread the rumor that MUa Stouc was In ltulgnrlu n order to hide themselves more securely from tho Turkish authorities. Tho Dut garlan government has done everything it possibly can against tho Macedonian brig ands. It was simply a lie to allege that this government was Implicated with the brig ands In tho capture of Miss Stone. That audacious calumny must have been clt- cutated by persons who know not Dulgarla or by enemies of tho cabinet. t "We gavo assurnnco that If tho govern ment could lay hands on the brigands and had proof of tliolr crlmo they would be punished without mercy. Conalderlnc tho Turkish oppression, the lurgo Immi gration of Dulgarlnns from Macedonia Into Dulgarla la only natural. These people agitate and Homotlmes do bad things. "It Is' said that the great powers will bring pressuro to hear upon Turkey to amoltarato tho situation In Macedonia ac cording to arttclo xxlll of tho treatv of Derlln. I would be glad If that were true. U would be tho best thing for Mneedonia nnd the Turkish empire and- would pre vent such unhappy Incidents as the ub ductlon of Miss Stone. "It is strenuously denied that there Is a secret commltteo In Dulgarla working for tho annexation of Macedonia to Dulgarla. The official Macedonia ooiumlttoo Is elected t. a popular election every year and oulv alms at the autonomy of Macedonia lu or der to make llfo there endurable and prop erly 8ouro from Intolerable rapine and op pression of the Turkish authorities. Never theless, there Is an ultimate hopo, no doubt, of a union of nulgarlan-spcaking Macedonians with the Dulgarlan states."

There Is no end of criticism curront regarding tho govern ment's conduct of the war In South Africa, but It emanates chiefly from those whom Mr. Chamberlain In his speech last night characterized as his "candid frluiids." The outcry does not appear to strengthen In tho slightest the chances of the liberal party, It. C. Lehmnnn, who has just resigned the editorship of the Dally News. In an article (n this week's Speaker admits that he sees no help for liberalism until it has acquired and put forward a strong, definite policy In regard to South Africa, and to do this would, he confesses, mean a loss to the party of some of Its most prominent sun- porters, but ho maintains that even this Is bettor than the present impotency One of the striking slgmi of discontent ' wttnin tne circles traditionally govern mental Is found In tho fact thnt the Cam bridge union has passed a resolution to the effect that the government alone Is re sponsible for the prolongation of the war, I This aristocratic debating society Is com- P0SC(1 mainly of those who nre related to or acquainted with the ruling class and who have hitherto always warmly supported the government's South African policy.

Sensational reports are current in mln Isterlal quarters about strained relations between King Kdwnrd nnd his prime inin later, the marquis of Salisbury. It wns nt the king's peremptory request. It appears that Lord Salisbury returned from the Riviera n week earlier than he had In tended to do. and It Is asserted that be fore his n'rr(val ho tendered his resignation to the king, who refused to nccopt it, Tho cnblnet council called for tho day after Lord Salisbury's return, but unac eoiintablv postponed until Monday, was summoned by the prime minister to nn nounce to his colleagues his determination to retire. On arriving In London last Wednesday Lord Salisbury went straight to his homo at Hatfield. Ho was commanded to attend upon the king on the following day, al though Lord Snllsbury hnd given out that he should not return to London until tlmo for Monday's council. IteneiitN KIiik'm Interference. lie bitterly resents tho king's interfer ence, which really was prompted by the In tonao public alarm over tho' Increasingly grave situation In South Africa and Lord Salisbury's somnolent neglect of his duties. It Is bellnvcd that a cabinet crisis cannot bo Htaved off longer, as there is a stroug party, led by tho chancellor of tho ex chequer, Sir Mtchaol Hicks-Deiicb, In favor of offering terms to tho Doers, which the latter are likely to accept. Sir Mlchaol is backed by Homo Secretary Hltchlc, Min ister of Agrlculturo Handbury, Viceroy Cadogan nnd other Influential ministers. Joseph Chamberlnlii's Edinburgh speech wns Intended to splko tho guns of tho peace section. Chancellor Hicks Is actu ated chiefly by the country's serious flnan eiul position nnd hy tho fnlslflentlon of alt his assurances to parliament, based upon War office Information, ns to tho quick end ing of the wnr. The money voted for tho wnr is nlmost exhausted and In order to avoid summoning Parliament before Christ mas to make a new appropriation the trens ury Is compelled to divert to tho war chest money voted for other purposes. One of the most striking ot llscontcnt within the circles tradli'onally governmental Is found in the fact that tho Cambridge union has pasted n resolution declaring thnt the government alone Is 10 sponslble for the prolongation of the wnr. This aristocratic debating society is corn- nosed mainly of those who nre related to or acquainted with the ruling class and hith erto It has warmly supported the govern ment's South Afrlcnn' policy.
