RUSSIAN COUNT RELEASED.


NEW YORK. Dec. 15.-The Count De
Touloise L'Ontrec. who recently travelled
i'm the West and was made much of in
San Francisco as the promoter of a great
Siberian railroad scheme, was released to-
day from the Tombs Prison, where he had
been a prisoner since Nov. 20. He was
then arrested charged with having as
saulted and threatened to kill a cabman.
In the trial to-day the count declared. in
broken English. that he had not assaulted
the cabman. but had drawn a revolver
from his pocket because he feared he was
going TO be robbed II had much money
and "A watch of great value" he added.
and feared l was 20 be robbed"
Were you not prisoner in Russia

Yes sir. replied the count.
Then" said the prosecutor II submit

loin on the night of Nov. IS In a question
OF veracity j think the cabman's testimony
should be accepted against that of this
man, who confesses he is afraid To go back

That's all nonsense" said the Judge.
THE count fled from Russia for political
reasons. I think his word Is as good as
the claimants i shall end this case and
recommend an acquittal."
The count left the stand. and in a few
minutes the jury rendered a verdict OF

MAY STOP AT VALENCIA.
American Consul Not Instructed to
Warn the LauraGa Away.

WASHINGTON, Dee. 15.-Messrs. Tucker
and Seward, of Baltimore. representing the
Baltimore concern which chartered the
Laurada to bring fruit TO the United
States, and John l.. Vandiver, represent
ing Hart & Co. of Philadelphia, the owners
of the vessel. called at the State Depart
ment this afternoon TO inquire into the re-
port that the Laurada had been prevented
from entering the Spanish port of Valencia.
They failed TO see Secretary Olney or AS
sistant Rockhill, but the chief clerk
listened to their statements and answered
for the department. The shipping men said
they had been informed the Laurada had
been forbidden by United States Consul
Martens, at Grao, the port of Valencia, 10
enter the harbor. The chief clerk replied
that this was impossible; the department
had sent no such instructions to the consul.
In fact, had sent no instructions at all rela-
tive to the Laurada, and the consul had no
authority of his own to forbid the ship TO
enter. Mr.. Tucker next asked what the
Department of State would do If the
Laurada entered the port of Valencia and
was seized by the Spaniards. The chief
questions of this kind, but assured Mr..
Tucker that the Laurada would be afforded
the same measure of protection that would
be extended TO any other American vessel
under like conditions and with this state
ment the callers were Obliged 10 be con-

partment has not yet communicated d.
rectly with the consul at Grao IL has been

BAY STATE ELECTIONS.
Boston Voted for License and Most of
the other Towns Likewise.

BOSTON. Mass, Dec. 15.-The Repub-
licans have probably the advantage in the
city election to-day. although. in the alb
sence of a mayoralty contest, the report is
mixed. The city voted for license by a ma
jority which. while somewhat smaller than
in previous years. was relatively the same,
owing to the light vote. The vote was:
Yes. 80, 426; no, 26, S29. There was a falling
off of 30 per cent. from the vote In the
election month ago. The only rival can
didates voted on by the entire city were
those running for street commissioner and
one member for the School Board. The
former contest, Duane. Democrat, won by
a small majority. while another colored Re-
publican candidate, DIR. Samuel Z. Court
ney, was elected on the School Board, his
majority being about 1000.
Throughout the State the Republicans
have seemingly lost some of the advantage
obtained I'm the State election. The total
license vote In the State shows a decided
increase in license over last year, while
the no license vote is slightly reduced.
The total vote was: Yes, 124,776; no. 104.-
095 1895 the vote was: Yes 1l9, ,365; no.
1O5. .639; majority for license. 13, ,725 The only
changes were Haverhill from license TO no
license and Lynn vice versa.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.-The attention
of officials here has been attracted by the
stories coming from all portions OF the
country indicating that enlistments are go
ing on of parties of men to go to Cuba TO
join the insurgents in their struggle against
the Spaniards. These enlistments are In d.
rect violation of the neutrality laws, and
are prohibited under severe penalties For
accepting a commission to serve against
Spain, a country with which the United
States is now at peace. the penalty pre-
scribed by Section 52sl, Revised Statutes il

while for enlistment to serve against Spain
or hiring anyone TO enlist. the penalty Is
fine and three years Imprisonment. The
enforcement OF these laws naturally fall
within the functions OF the United States
officials to whose knowledge the attempt
TO infringe Is brought, but IL the move
ments continue on so large a scale as re-
ported, IL is probable that the Department.

AFTER VENEZUELAN GOLD.
Destination Of the Little Steamer Elsa
and It's Crew of OhiOans.

CLEVELAND. o., Dec. 15.-The destina-
ton of the little steamer Elsa, which was
seized by the government authorities ar
Memphis on suspicion that she was on a
filibustering expedition, is Venezuela. Sew
eral years ago two young men left Nor
walk, O., and went to South America. After
many vicissitudes one of them returned
home. About month ago he received n
letter from his comrade, saying that he had
discovered gold in the mountains near the
coast in the territory in dispute between
England and Venezuela. Assisted by two
natives and a donkey he had mined some
of the gold and sent it to a New York bank.
The prospector asked his friend to draw on
the New York bank, buy a small steamer
and bring IT to Venezuela. This tale was
doubted. but letter to the bank i'm New
York confirmed the story. The steamer
Elsa was bought AT Sandusky and a party
of seven young men made up. one of them
being a son Of G.. w. Buswell. of this city.
The boat was taken TO Chicago and re-
fitted, and the Mississippi reached by canai
and river. The Elsa and her party will
reach New Orleans on Saturday.
