All that can be gained from the state department officials respecting the case of Miss Stone, the missionary who is helft by brigands in Bulgaria, is that she is alive and that efforts are continuing for her release. The officials, while declining to indicate the nature df the measure they are pursuing: to this‘end, still have hope of ultimate success, Neither Mr.. Baird nor Mr. Haskell', the/missionaries, has yet been able to get in touch "with the brigands in order to i arrange .as rto .the amount of the ransom for Miss Stope. The Loh don Daily Express has received the following from. Vienna: 1". “Todaroff, thq driver svhp accompanied Miss Stone when she was kidnaped,.ihas arrived at Sofia.

Dec. 13, 1899, he heliographed a message advising Sir George Stewart-White to surrender Ladysmith, with its garrison, of 12,000 British soldiers. The admission has created an extraordinary sensation throughout England, and Gen. Buller is denounced severely. Gen., Buller has been goaded by the press for his repeated failures in the early part of the war, and his critics have been especially acjtive since his, recent appointment to command an army corps.
