MRS. MAVERICKS CASE.
She May Soon Be Released From the
English Prison.

C<uSllSu llSOAs
New York July ia dispatch to
the Herald from Washington says:
The chances of the release of Mrs.
Maybrick from Working prison, Eng
land, are considered to be more favor
able than at any time during her i'm
prisonment. Judge L. ID. Yarrell, of
this city, counsel for Mrs. Maybrick,
recently called on President Mckinley,
and the president is understood to
have held out much encouragement
for the prisoner.
Judge Yarrell says: MY audience
with the President was very pleasant
one and was of some length, He ap-
peared deeply interested liz the mat
ter and the documents and letters
which 1 submitted to him were not
given a more passing glance, as the
President considered them carefully.
am fully satisfied he has instructed
the proper persons to do all in their
power to secure speedy release. AM
bassador Hay, as it is known, has al
ready presented the petition and pa
pers asking Mrs. Maybrick's freedom,
and l firmly believe she will secure it.
Undoubtedly the greatest difficulty
experienced in gaining this unfortunate
woman's release is the seeming indif-
ference on the part of the people of
America. They don't seem to care
anything for her, or how long she re-
mains in prison"

POLITICS IN BUENos AYREs.

TOblliCo In bOENOS A1RES.
New York, July PA dispatch to the
Herald from Buenos Ayres says:
The convention of the National party
has proclaimed as candidate for the
presidency, Gen. Roca. and for vice
presidency. Senior Quirno Costa, the
present minister Of the interior.
Senior Casares was a candidate for
the vice presidency and was supported
by Senator Pellegrini, but he received
less than one-third of the votes. This
will probably cause a division in the
party.
In accepting the nomination Gen.
Roca said that If elected he would form
a government with members of all par
ties. He would also, he said, attend
strictly to the economical interests Of
the country and endeavor to import
foreign capital.
The Radical party will soon meet
and nominate candidates. The Radi-
calls have had no caucus with the Ma
tionalists.

Small Vessel With All On Board Per-
ishes In a Furious Storm.
New York, July ia special to the
Herald from Long Beach, L. l., says:
A single masted sloop-rig craft on
which it is supposed there were sew
eral persons, was caught in terrific
storm of the coast and went down.
Before the disaster the craft had
been rocking wildly in the storm, it's
sails had been torn away, and about
the last that the witnesses on shore
saw was a signal of distress waving
from the boat. There is little doubt
that all on board persisted.
A three-masted full rugged fishing
smack. whose captain discovered the
peril CT the occupants of the sloop put
out to the rescue from near Jones'
Beach. For more than an hour the
fishing smack made a plucky effort to
get to the sailor craft sADOriwow
get to the smaller craft, but the heavy
sea made its efforts futile.
When the sloop was last seen she
was about seven miles from the Rock
away shore and half way between Long
Beach and Sandy Hook. The fishing
smack gave up the chase finally, hav-
ing been unable to get within a mile of
the sloop. The smack headed toward
Norton's landing.
