Mr. Leishman to Mr. Hay.

[Telegram.—Paraphrase.]

Legation of the United States,
Constantinople, September 23, 1901.

(Mr. Leishman states that no definite news concerning Miss Stone has been received, but that the best obtainable information indicates that the brigands were Bulgarians who recrossed the frontier after capturing Miss Stone.

Mr. Leishman has advised Mr. Dickinson, United States consul-general at Constantinople, to proceed to Sofia and take the matter up with the Bulgarian Government there.)
