Return of Miss Charles After an
Eventful Trip.
NEW YORK, August 5.-Miss Cecilia
Washington from Havana, whence she es-
capped with some difficulty, as the authort-
ties desired to detain her. Miss Charles is
somewhat known as a writer on Spanish
American topics and an ardent sympathiz-
er with the Cuban insurgents. She went
to Havana about two months ago with the
object Of studying the situation in the
western part of the island. She carried let
ters Of Introduction to some Of the best
families In Cuba and says she had a most
cordial reception and was treated with
great courtesy.
After spending two weeks in Havana she
took trip to the country to see the fa-
nous trocha, erected to check the move
ments of the insurgents, where she met
Gen. Zayas, who had just been reported
killed and with whom she had a very in
teIeStlng Interview. On her return to the
city (Havana) Miss Charles spent a day in
the Cabanas prison. There she visited the
Competitor prisoners and encountered va
rious interesting experiences. AS a result
OF her activity the authorities became sus-
picious and an order was issued for her de-
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, walking many
miles In blazing sun without food or
drink for twenty-four hours, not having
had time to even change her clothing when
she sailed.

The THERMOMETERS Today Climbs I'm
Near the Years Limit.
This is one Of the hot days of the year.
one Of the real hot days that even the
weather experts will admit to be unpleas-
antly warm. The official maximum regis
tered at O'Clock was 94 degrees, and the
chances were favorable for that being ex-
ceeded during the afte Thus far this
year. SO the weather bureau informed The

been but one day with higher record
than 94 degrees Fahrenheit, and that oc-
CURED In July. Inasmuch as the hottest
part of the day comes at about 4 o'clock
1t Is altogether probable that this record
will be exceeded shortly after The Star has
gone to press.
Not only this, but there is no real relief
promised by the bureau. The hot weather
conditions prevail throughout the Atlantic
states and the country to the west, from
which the local climate is fed, and the out

FUSION campaign Committee.
BIRMINGHAM. Ala, August 5.-Frank
Baltzell, secretary of the fusion campaign
committee, has issued the following state
ment:
The election last Monday was character
lied by frauds more widespread than In
any previous elections, and IN the black
belt. in defiance Of law and contempt for
the opposition. which the law required to
be recognized by from three to ten repre-
sentatives at every poll. In Montgomery.
at the cour: house poll, illiterate sus-
pected his ticket was wrongly marked,
showed 1t to a friend to decide, and the
fact was developed that a Goodwin ticket
had been marked for Johnson. The Hit
crate was arrested and jailed for showing
the ticket, and the marker. who was guilty
of the crime. was not interrupted. In the
black belt counties the reports state that
Dallas or some other black belt county will
send up the usual majority which means
that whatever majority may be needed
from these counties will De sent up next
Saturday, when the vote shall be canvass
ed
The populists are very much exasperated
on account of wrongs practiced upon them,
and wall not support Bryan at the national
election They will put up an electoral
ticket for Bryan and Watson. The demo-
Gratis car take down their ticket vote that
ticket. or see one hundred thousand votes
practically lost
If this shall not be done. the populists
VIII refuse to vote and let the silver demo-
Gratis work out their destiny and repent of
their meanness- Self respect. manhood and
civil liberty are dearer to some people than
free silver or any other political ISSUE Hon.
A. I. Goodwin made a brilliant and effec-
tive campaign, visiting nearly every coun-
ty and speaking to the largest audiences
ever accorded a speaker in this state. He
has been elected by from sixteen to eigh-
teen Thousand majority in the white coun-
ties. and received about forty thousand
votes in the black belt. but these forty
thousand votes are counted for Johnson
giving him majority of about TWENTY-FIVE
thousand. FRANK BAITZEIJ
