MISS CISNEROS'S CASE.
WcyIer Had Intended Diminishing the
Charge Against Her.

HAVANA, via Key West. Fla, Aug. %
1t is asserted here that it was the inten-
ton of Captain General Weyler, the re-
suit of quiet and friendly influence on the
part of Consul General Lee, to issue an or
der dsmissing the case OF Evangelina Cos
sio Cisneros in short time, but in view
of the publicity given to the case and the
many contradictory assertions made in re-
gard to it the captain general has decided
to postpone action for the present. The
military commander of the Isle of Pines
recently stated that many of the statements
made with reference to Senorita Cisneros
were without foundation and that so far as
he could judge no extreme sentence would
be imposed on her.
Captain General Weyler left Havana this
morning with a small force for the purpose
of carrying on military operations in the
province of Havana. 1t is stated that Evan
gelina CossiO Cisneros is still confined in
the Casa Recojidas occupying a well ven
tilated apartment in the company of other
ladies. 1t is denied that SenOrita Cisneros
is i'll. She is allowed to receive visitors on
three days of the week

The Deadly Hafpin.

New York Tribune
Two persons have lately lost their eye
sight in London by having the sharp point
of hatpins run into their eyes by accident.
One was the case of passenger on ii coach
next to woman with her hat fastened by
one of these pins and anotler was that OF
a child who was injured while playing with
a companion. AS a result of these acCi-
dents the newspapers OF the English me-
tropolis are making a warfare on the use Of
the long hatpin The most peculiar thing
about the hatpin question IS the fact that
while the United States Patent ONCE has
issued ffty-four patents for hat fasteners,
the pin in use Is one that has never been
patented. These patents comprise every
Imaginable device for keeping hat on a
woman's head from pin little more COM
plicated than the hatpin in common use 10
the most intricate piece of harness for the
same purpose. But this great variety of
apparatus has had to give way in popular
ity to the simple long pin used in the fem
mime world for keeping hats on.

Left Under Spanish CoIors.

TAMPA, Fla, Aug. 29.-The expedition
that left here last night was delayed some
what by a washout occasioned by heavy
rains on the Punta Gorda division of the
Plant system. The party did not embark
on the tug at Cleveland until midnight
when it sailed away. The train arrived at
Cleveland at n45 p. m, and seventy-five
Cubans landed with their baggage. Each
had a valise and many had bundles from
two to three feet long covered with white
canvas. They bore no arms.
The Cubans are very much elated, but
many of them are fearful of the result of
an expedition that started under Spanish
colors. They graVely shake their heads
and say that no good can come of it. They
pointed to-day to the yellow coaches and
the engine with their red trimming, colors
of the Spanish flag, and seemed troubled.
The Spaniards are pleased, for they predict
that an expedition starting under the Span
ish cOlors is likely to end under them
kilograms received here to-day from the
deputy collector at Punta Gorda denied that
any expedition had sailed from that place.
His official attention was Immediately
called to Cleveland in his district. which
place he overlooked. Revenue cutter For
ward arrived at Port Tampa to-day and
signaled at once calling Captain Rogers
ashore, Whereupon consultations were held
with the treasury officials. The cutter at
dark still remained at anchor.
