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."

no help for liberalism until it has acquired

Sensational reports are current in mln

that Lord Salisbury returned from the

Tho cnblnet council called for tho day

lie bitterly resents tho king's interfer

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.

ated chiefly by the country's serious flnan

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

No end of talk Is heard today about a
speech of General Rafael Ryes, delegate
from Colombia, at a banquet In honor of
tho delegates to the Pan-Apiorlcun con
gross. General Ryes was responding to tho
(oust of the delegates and was speaking
for thoso from tho United States ns well as
for tho Spanish-Americans, In this ca
pacity he paid a warm tribute to Spain,
speaking In part ns follows:

Murquls do Prat, Spain's minister, arose
nnd thanked General Ryes. It has been
currently reported that the mission ot the
marquis was especially to watch the Pan
American conference,
Tho utterances of General Ryes have tho
support of the clerical and pro-Spanish
press, which evidently desires to Inject n
good deal ot Spanish-American spirit Into
tho congress. Several Central and South
American delegates to tho Pan-American
congress have made arrangements with the
family of the lata Ambassador Romero to

he is burled, near this city, and deposit

No general movement f troops
Is
planned within the Department ot Col
orado, according to tho authority of Lieu
tenant General Miles, commanding tho
army. The Idea that tho great majority
of the 8,000 men In the Department of Col
orado are to bo moved to tho oast to take
tho places of regiments to bo sent to the
Philippines Is ridiculed.
The facts of the case arc that It had been
practically agreed to send three companies
of tho eighteenth Infantry, now stationed
nt Fort Douglas, to Fort Huachuca, al
though tho final order to this effect had not
heen signed. This order, snys General
Miles, has been suspended temporarily at
least, thorn being a possibility that tho
three compunlcs may later be sent to Fort
Huachuca.
General Miles further says that while
six reglmenta aro soon to be sent to 'tho
Philippines none of them, according' to
present plans, will bo from tho Department
of the Colorado, Aside from ehniiKes In
detail that may be made regarding small
detachments ot troops In this department,
yet to be agreed upon between General
Merrlam nnd the War department no shifts
will ho mado unless tho present program Is
modified,
General Miles further says thnt no suc
