Cosso Cisneros, the Cuban girl who es-
capped from Casa de Recogldas, in Ha-
vaua, on Wednesday night last, A-rived in
this city yesterday morning. American
friends accompanied her by train from
New Orleans
On reaching Jersey city Miss Clsneros
was taken in a closed carriage to the
headquarters of the Cuban sympathizers
in this city, at Sc New street, where sho
was joyfully received. After short re-
ception she was taken away, and no one
was allowed to see her until this evening.
A special edition of the local Cuban
newspaper was published this afternoon
asking all loyal Cubans to assemble at
the office of the junta at o'clock 10
join in torchlight parade in honor OF
the young womans delivery.
All the employees of the New York Jour
nal and particularly the people having
charge of the Senorita Cisneros matter,
emphatically denied tonight that the
young woman was in the city, and a tour
of all the rooms in the Journal offices
proved the falslty of the rumor that she
was secreted there. It was stated at the
Journal office at midnight that all rumors
and reports concerning the presence of
Miss Cisneros in the city are unauthorized
and untrue.

coo people had collected around the minis

THE MAINE AT PORT ROYAL.
The Dock There Considered Unsafe
For Larger Vessels.


For Larger Vessels.
Washington, Oct. lin compliance with
Senator McLaurin's request, the Secre-
tary of the Navy decided to utilize the
Port Royal dry dock for warships smaller
than the Indiana, and accordingly the
second-class battleship Maine has been or
dered to be docl1ed there.
When Senator McLaurin called at the
navy department last week he interview
ed the secretary and Admiral Mathews,
and said that the people interested in the
Port Royal station were greatly disap-
pointed when the battleship Indiana was
sent to Halifax to be docked instead of
Port Royal
Admiral Mathews said that the depart
ment was afraid to trust big ships of the
Indiana class in the Port Royal dock, be-
cause there is only two feet difference be-
tween the width of the dock and vessels
of the Indiana class.
Senator McLaurin suggested that some
of the smaller ships might be sent there
and the suggestion met the approval of
Admiral Mathews, who is chief of yards
and docks. He said that while it would
hardly pay the government to attempt
to widen the dock, it could be generally
utilized for vessels of the second class.
The Maine is an armOred battleship of
66S2 tons, 80 feet long and 81 wide She
carries a crew of about $50 officers and
men, is equipped with ten great guns and
a marine battery. She has a twin screw
and reels off II 40 knots an hour She is
one of the best ships in the North At
lantlc squadron. and has been cruising
with the fleet in the vicinity of Hampton
Roads. She is to go to Port Royal for a
thorough cleaning.
