London. Aug. s.-rhe Times in IN angry
article. complains OF the German press for
denooncing and abusing Lord Salisbury
because he refused TO ioin la q blockade
OF Crete. The Times says:
''It is not improbable that II = blockade
had been started Germany would again
discover that she had no ships available
for the purpose. II Is not dignafed TO
stand aside and incits other nations to do
what she is not prepared 10 do herself.
To make Crete cockpit in which oppos-
ing forces might fight out their quarreis
would be a most effectual method of pro-
ducing a European war. unless the powers
were most completely in agreement"

New York, Aug. 6.--Miss Cecilia Charles
arrived today on the steamer Washington
from Havana, whence she escaped with
some difficulty, as the authorities desired
to detain her. Miss Charles II somewhat
known TO fame as a writer on Spanish
topics, and is an ardent sympathizer with
the Cuban insurrectionists. She went to
Havana about two months ago. with the
object of studying the situation in the
eastern part OF the island. She carried
with her letters Of introduction to some Of
the best families In Cuba, and accordingly
had q cordial reception and was treated
with great courtesy. After spending two
weeks In Havana she took trip to the
country to see the famous trocha erected
to check the movement OF the insurgents.
There she met Gen. Zayas, who has just
been reported killed. and with whom she
had very interesting interview. On her
return to the city OF Havana Miss Charles
spent a day in the Cabanas prison. There
she visited the Competitor prisoners and
had various interesting experiences. As
a result OF her activity the authorities be-
came suspicious, and an order was issued
for her detention as an emissary OF the
revolutionary party In the United states.
Miss Charles succeeded in evading the
order OF arrest by escaping from the rear
of a house in the suburbs OF Havana and
walking many miles In the blazing sun
without food or drink for twenty-fodr
hours, not having had time TO even change
her clothing when she sailed.

OPENED THE DOORS.
CanTassinG Board Give Up Their
Star Chamber Work

County Auditor Sullivan, Mayor
Doran and the two justices of the peace
constituting the county canvassing
board went over the election returns
Openly" and in public yesterday, as
the law requires Their action of the
day before, in conducting the canvass
behind closed doors, caused no end of
criticism and wondering comment
about the court house and city hall 1t
was supposed that the canvassing
board was sufficiently posted on the
election law to know that the returns
must be canvassed publicly. and people
were at loss to know why County
Auditor Sullivan closed the door on
the public. The G o b e, however,
gave the canvassing board the benefit
of the doubt as to it's knowledge and
quoted the law in yesterdays issue.
1t proved an open sesame. The door
was thrown open and the public eye
was privileged to behold the canvass
ing board at work
Considerable progress was made yes
terday, the board nearly completing
the count for the Eighth ward Two
precincts are still uncanvassed-one
Ward-the judges in those precincts
having omitted to sign the returns The
totals so far as the board has pro-
crossed show but trifling variations in
the figures published by the G 10 b e
Immediately after the election At
the rate the board is progressing it
will undoubtedly complete it's task to-
morrow if not by tonight.
