MISSING MABEL STUART
Mystery of Her Disappearance Is
Puzzling the Police.
Her Father Is in This City Looking
for the Giri-Belteyes She
Was Il i'd a ppcd.

Inspector II ollinberger was furnished
with description this morning of Miss
Mabel Stuart, the siAtecn-year-old girl who
started for Baltimore from Harper's Ferry,
December ! 4, and has notified the local
police to look out :or her.
Acting on TIE theory, too, that she has
been kidnapped and is being forCibly de-
tanned either in this city or III Baltimore
he has detailed two of his men Ia work up
the case. The father of the girl. Mr.. j A.
Stuart, came here from Baltimore yesterday,
and is stopping with his married daughter,
Mrs. K. c. watson, at No. 1T24 Eighth
street northwest. de and his son have
been constantly searching Tor the missing
girl since they learned that she had not
arrived at her destination in Baltimore,
and have advertised reward of 500 for
information as to her whereabouts.
Mr.. stuart is the proprietor of the Poto =
mac hotel and restaurant in Harper's
Ferry, and besides being his clerk, at Il
salary, his daughter had the exclusive
agency for Photographic views OF the noun
tain scenery in that neighborhood. This
brought her quite an income. so when she left
home she was plentifully supplied with
money.
In the latter part of November she wrote
Il letter TO her sister here. Mrs. Watson,
announcing her contemplated trip to Bal
timore and saying that she intended to stop
here on a visit for u few days. She wrote
several letters also 10 her sister iii Balti-
more, Mrs. John I. Reed, at No. 416 West
Mulberry street. with whom shefintended
to stay during her visit there.
December IA at 11:3O O'Clock she babe
goodbye to her parents and brother in
Harper's Ferry and took the train for
baltimore. That is the last time she has
been seen by any of her friends. Whether
or not she ever reached Baltimore is only
night that he was confident she had and
had been kidnapped and forcibly detained
on leaving the train at Baltimore. Her
she anticipated a pleasant visit aud had
no other object in leaving home.
Miss stuart was sixteen years old on the
9Th of last September. She Is a very at
tractive girl, with regular features, brown
hair and large hazel eyes. She weighs
1870 pounds and is remarkably well devel-
oped for her age. She had very few male
quaintances, and did not seem to care
very much for the society OF young men.
The last letter she wrote was addressed
to her sister here, and stated that she in
tended to start for Baltimore on the 18th,
but it was not mailed until several days
after she had started, and did not reach its
destination until her disappearance was
known. She had given it to a servant her
home to mail. and he had carried 1t around
in his pocket for several days before de.
posting 1t in the postoffice. 1t was her evi.
dent intent to spend the holidays in Balti-
more, and her strange disappearance puzzles
the police OF both that city and this.

Havana via Key West, Dec. 26.-Later
advices from Matanzas appear TO put n
far different complexion upon the opera :
| tiuns in the field, to change the supposed
victory of Campos al Caliseo into practi-
| cal G.feat, TO increase the certainty OF al
legged unchecked rebel advance, and with
oLt questiD IN to add 10 the panic of the people
| here.
This fear, which has reached even official
circles is due TO the fact that it is now
known that Gen. Campos was defeated at
Colon, as his sullen retreat toward this
city proves, though the details of the
Spanish rcpulse are yet unknown, except
to Il few government officials.
SPANISH ON THE DEFENSIVE.
As the situation stands at the present mo-
ment, Gen. Campos is on the defensive
wholly, is IN reIrograde movement with
his army, is thanked upon either side by
Gomez and Maceo, and is closely followed
by QuiDtin, BaTderas, Nerafin, Sanchez
and Sacret.
The fuller details OF the engagement at
Coiiseo, as they begin to come in anu creep
into circulation, show conClusively tue
plight Of Campos, The Spanish lost heaN lily
in the action, it is reported, and at one time
-runor says, almost certain annihilailon
At last, however, after the most desper-
ate fighting. the government columns were
able To cNtricate themselves and TO cut their
way through the nachetes OF the Cubans
10 n place of safety.
They then rctreated about fifteen miles
until TREY reached Siinonas, where an at
tempt was made To reform the dIsordered
lines.
Campos is now throwing up new fortifi-
cations and erecting barricades at that
point to make a fresh stand, and re-en-
iOrcemcnts are being hourly sent from this
city, rs wei us heavy cannon. Unless de-
feated there, the triumphant rebels will
probably attack Cardenas or this city be-
fore New Years.
The government authorities here are
hurrying the construction OF new forts
and are planting heavy artillery to cover
the principal strategic approaches. All
citizens able to bear arms are being press
ed into the volunteer corps.
MARCHING ON HAVANA.
Goniez's extreme left, composed Of 900
men, is now marching directly toward Ha.
Vdna province. The rebels have captured
and burned the town OF Navajas, and var
ious other stations on the railway line west
toward this province, blowing up railway
bridges and burning many plantations en-
route.
The rebel right wing. under Maceo and
Banieras, Mata reports add. is now
moving against Cardenas. Their object is
to SEIZE the port, while Gomez, Serafin,
SANCHEZ, McnOcai and Nunez. composing the
insurgent center, with / 800 men, occupy
camps around Matanzas.
SuarcZ's advance. commanded by Col
Regos, has suddenly appeared In the vicinity
OF siUiTia lie Nelena. burning the cane fields
and destroying all bridges.
News from Pinar Del Rio reports fresh
uprisingS in the Vuelto bajo. The tele-
graph wires are cut in every direction.
Cienreacos advices report that the in
surgentS under Masso have captured the
important town of Trinidad.

H. Maitland Kersey, the agent of the line,

Were driven to Mr.. KerSey's residence.
Neither Lord Dunravennor his friends would

A representative of the United Press
boarded the Teutonic at quarantine and
interviewed Mr.. Askwth who is Il well
known admiralty court lawyer and an
expert on maritime law.
Mr.. Ask with declined TO say anything
about the investigation, rs he considered
that IT would be in bad taste for either side
to do So. He thought that the New York
Yacht Club would make no remarks on the
subject, and at all events neither Lord
Dunraven nor any of his party would do so.
and that no statement OF any kind was
prepared for publication.
When asked regarding Lord Dunraven'
or his own stay in this country he said
that they had not as yet formed any plans.
Mr.. Askwith would say nothing as regards
the nature of the evidence to be submitted
to the committee by Lord Dunraycn.

MAI. NEwTON'S TRIAL.
Policeman Posey's Alleged Assailant
Tearfully Told His Tale.

Maj. Newton was placed on trial today
before Justice Cole upon the charge of hav-
ing resisted an officer to escape arrest.
Charles P. Posey was the policeman who
attempted to arrest Newton, and the evil
dence is that he was badly injured in the
melee. The affair took place on the 9Th
day of November last, and before its con-
clusion both Newton and the officer were
badly used up. and each testified before the
court today that he is still under treatment.
Newtons statement, tearfully expressed,
was that he came out of the scrape with two
cuts on his head and two broken ribs.
The District attorney made out record
of numerous prior arrests of Newton for
various offenses. the defendant confessing
to have done good deal of time in both Jail
and workhouse. So
The jury deliberated but short time.
They were agreed that he had committed the
offense as charged, and so reparted. Hewas
sentenced to the penitentiary for period
of two years, the maximum penalty.
