AN OUTCRY OF HORROR.
The Threatened Imprisonment of the
Innocent Cuban Girl.
n. Y. Journal.

n. Y. Journal.
The threatened Imprisonment for twenty
years of Miss ism. ros, Young and beauti-
full and innocent Cuban girl, has reused the
world to al cutlery of horror. Unless this
cry shall be needed by the gentle and Chris
tan Queen Regent and her official advisers,
Miss Cisneros, who has already been held
for many month in Jail with outcast wo-
men of Havana, will tie delivered over to
outrage and to twenty years of association
with criminals, should merciful death not
intervene.
The girl will probably be rescued. Even
the Spanish Government will hardly dare to
proceed according to its wishes and prac-
tees, now that the Journal has drawn uni
versal attention to the case. Were it to per-
sst and do in the full light of publicity
what it had set out to do privately, Evange-
lima Cisnero would be avenged in part by the
intervention of the United States in behalf
of the independence of Cuba. The suffer
gs of who'e people make no such appeal
t. the average imagination as does the atroc-
ity of the sentence imposed on one young
woman. In the light of the treatment given
ter the spirit in which Spain is waging the
Cuban war is revealed to every understand
ing. 1t is because the people of the United
S ates, already friendly and sympathetic
toward the brave revolutionists, have not
wildly rea ized the sort of government to
free themselves from which the Cubans are
fighting that our own Government at Wash
ington has dared to m sintain an attitude of
neutrality which in effect has been one of
completely with Spain.

who commit assault against women,
black or white, or aid in any way
