Washington, Jan. 29.—The negotiations with the brigands for the release of Miss Stone have again failed. This discouraging news reached the State Department today. Just when everyone was expecting the announcement that the ransom had been paid and the captive missionary set free, the State Department finds itself as far from its object as ever.
