Henlen H. Stone Heard From.

The Rev. Mr. Haskell, a missionary at Sammkov, Bulgaria, has received a letter from Miss Helen H. Stone, the American missionary who was curried off by brigands Sept 6, in the district of Djumabala. It does not reveal the whereabouts of Miss Stone, but says she is in good health and has been well treated by the brigands, especially in the earlier stages of the abduction. Latterly, in consequence of the vigorous pursuit of Turkish troops, she has been subjected to privations. Miss Stone adds that the brigands demand a ransom of 25,000 Turkish pounds. The opinion is expressed in Constantinople that the Bulgaro-Ma-cedonian committee was actively concerned in the abduction of the missionary.
