CONSUL LEE In NEW YORK.
Thinks the Case Of Evangelina Cis-
nerOs Has Been Much Exaggerated
Cannot Tell When the War
Will End.

New York, Sept. 8.-Consul General
Fitzhugh Lee arrived from Havana today.
He said he had been suffering from bill
iousness for some time, but felt very
much better after the trip. When asked
whether he would return to Cuba or not,
the general shook his head and said: II
cannot answer that, and I would rather
not talk on Cuban affairs until / make
my report at Washington" Speaking of
the case of Evangellna Oisneros, the gen
eral said: 1.-THE young woman is con-
fined in CASA Reconidas. She never has
been tried, and do not think it was ever
intended that she should be banished.
Stories of her ill-treatment are very
much exaggerated, and were it not for
the hubbub raised about her the girl
would probably have been released long
ago. In fact, was given to understand
that. her name is on the pardon list.
There is good deal of suffering in Cuba,
but the Americans, numbering about
1,4O0, are being cared for from funds
amounting to $4,000 which have been
appropriated for that purpose" To the
question: "When will the war endi"
General Lee replied that "the question is
too much for me, I cannot say"

ITO parish priests of the counties of
Claire. Cork, Kerry, Limerick, Tipperary,
Antrim, Armagh, Cavans, Derry, Donegal,
Down, Fermanagh, Monaghan, and Ty-

ruined crops, and of impending destitu-

wholly or mainly destroyed potatoes, and
also oats, the next most essential crop to
the Irish farmer, has been battered down
by incessant rains and practically de-

A HAIRPIN Is IN EVIDENCE
The Coils Slowly But Surely Tighten

CERT in Chicago.
ALLEGED CORSET STRELS PRODUCED
No Doubt That the Woman is Dead and
That Her Body Was Dissolved
in One of the Sausage
Makers Watts.
ALLEGED CORSET STERLS PRODUCED

Chicago, Sept. s.-The alleged wife
murderer, Lustgert, seemed to be in un-
usually good spirits today, despite the
damaging evidence heard during yester-
days session. A greater crowd than ever
congregated at the huge stone entrance
of the criminal court building, and scores
of bailiffs and many of Inspector Schaak's
officers were required to keep open the
passage way.
Eugene B. Palmer, a reporter of the
Chicago journal, testified to having held
small bottle under the stream of pinksh
matter which flowed from the sluice
way of the vat when the police opened
the valve. W. II. Stuart, also of the
Journal, corroborated this testimony and
testified to having delivered the bottle of
pinkish slime into the hands of an expert.
Policeman Bernard Preuss identified two
bits of steel that he found in the ashes
where the supposed residue of bones and
other matter which was scooped from the
vat was dumped. Policeman Fred Talor-
itz testified to having found hairpin In
the same pile of refuse, and the hsirpin
WAS produced as an evidence after objec-
tion.
j. H. Oderbrett and W. G. Oady, corset
makers, positively identified two alleged
corset steels as having been the product
of their factory. This was considered by
the state as a great blow to the defense
who hoped to prove that the two pieces
of steel we're scale bands.
Another sensation was sprung, when
Mrs. Christine Feldt identified the ugly
knife which she said Luetgert handed to
her for safe keeping on the day of his
arrest. According to Inspector Setback,
Luetgert used this knife to kill his wife.
This evidence was surprise to the de-
fense.
Carl Klein, Jr., who is employed by a
dentist, described the false teeth he sold
to Mrs. Luetgert.
Emma Schimpke, sister of Gottleib
Schimpke, who testified to having seen
Luetgert and his wife enter the factory
on the fatal evening, was placed on the
stand to corrororate the testimony of her
younger sister. She was faltering wit
ness, and visibly suffered under the
scathlng GROSS. examination.

Alexander Bolles, one of theA early
tinerant preachers, who preached in
three States among the Allegheny Noun
tains, was much tormeuted by the infu-
enoe of one ohm Rogers, Jerseyman,
who openly taught atheism and the
abolishment OF marriage. Ga one
occasion, while holding a meeting in the
woods in Virginia, young man and
woman pushed their way up to the
stump which served as a pulpit. The
man, interruptiug the sermon, said
ef4ntly:
''l'd like you to know that We are
Rogerites." The old man looked at him
over his spt ptctacles and waited. 1--WE

The New York San is still adding to it's

comes from Potter County, Pennsylvania,
and by way of variety it is girl who
plays the principal part in the action.

When the bear gave up the chase he
came back to the tree where the girl was
captive. Her red hood had fallen on
the ground. The bear picked it up. The
girl screamed, and the bear raised his
huge form against the tree as high as his
legs would push him, but even then he
was nearly ten feet from her. The girls
screams had been heard at the farmhouse
down in the ravine, and out came her
