Mr. Eddy to Mr. Adee.

[Telegram.—Paraphrase.]

(Mr. Eddy reports that he has called the attention of the Turkish minister for foreign affairs most urgently to the matter of the abduction of Miss Stone; that the minister admits the responsibility of his [Page 1008] Government for the safety of Miss Stone and for the ransom. Mr. Eddy is convinced that the Turkish Government is doing all it can in the matter; he states that Mr. Dickinson is at Sofia, and will use every effort there; that the British embassy is rendering great assistance, and that he is to have an immediate consultation with the Russian ambassador.)
