Nkw York. Dec. 3. The Bulgarian
government's reply to United Slates Dip
lomatic Agent Dkkintou's note has just
been mads public by tbe Anstro-Hongai-ian
Foreign Ministry, at Vienna, says
the Vienna correspondent of the World.
It was Written by Mr. Daneff, Bulgaria's
Minister of Foreign Affairs, and con
cludes with the following words:
"I am surprised tbat yon have come
to tbe conclusion tbat tbe United Stale
will bold Bulgaria respoi sible for Mies
Stone's death, I must regard it as cer
tain that the using of violence by tbe
brigands can only be attributable to yoor
protracted negotiations. It was for yon
to carry the negotiations to a successful
end. Tbe Bulgarian government declines
all responsibility."
In Vienna this answer is considered
most impudent, and tbe hope is ex
pressed that tbe United-Slates will bold
Bulgaria responsible for Miss Stone's
safety.
