lan government's reply to L'niteJ
States Diplomatic Agent Dickinson's
note has Just been made public by the
Austro-Hungarian foreign ministry, at
Vienna, says the Vienna correspondent
j of the World. It was written by Mr.
Daneff, Bulgaria's minister of foreign
! affairs and concludes with the follow
ing xvords:
."I am surprised that you have come
, to the conclusion that the United States
t will hold Bulgarl resujnsilile ior Miss
1 Stone's death. I must regard It as
, certain ihat the using of violence by
ihe brigands can only be attributable
j to your protracted n.-irottitUiis. It
I was for you to carry the negotations
I 1) a successful end. The Hulgatlan
! .-overnmetit declines all responsibility."
In Vienna this answer is considered
nost impudent and the hope Is ex
ressed that .he I'nlted States will
old li-ilgarUt responsible for Miss
tone's safety.
