PARALLEL CASE.
The predIcanent Of Miss clsneros Similar 70
That Of Another.

LONDON, September 8. - Advicei
from ST. Petersburg say that the case
OF Miss Eyangelina Cisneros, the
Cuban girl, in whose behalf the sym.
pathies of representative American
women have been stirred, has some
thing OF parallel in the case OF Sophia
Parounoff, daughter OF q councillor OF
state, and who has just been con-
demEed by court martial to perpetual
exile in the mines OF Siberia. She is
described as girl OF surpassing
beauty, highly cultured. and the wealth
OF her parents enabled her to move In
the best Of society at the Russian
capital, and to be surrounded by every
luxury. She has been convicted on Q
charge of eonspiring to sell stolen
mobilization plans from the Russian
war Office to the Austrian authorities,

father, Lieutsfaut Co lodel Tsurt-
shauinoff. deputy commhndsnt Of the
fortress OF ST, Peter and St. Pan', and
Colonel Suailen, formerly an officer IN
the Turkish army.
On the evidence adduced, there Is no
DOUBT Of the guilt OF the male prin-,
cipsls, and the sentence OF death
passed upon them now only awaits the
of the car. The part
aiken by the girl, who is but nineteen.
was the conveying OF the stolen docu-,
nents to Vienna, where she was paid
The sum Of 2 900 rubles.
In her behalf, it Is claimed that she
acted entirely under the influence Of
ler father, and that she had absolutely
10 knowledge OF the contents of the
snvelepe, with which she was en-
.rusted, Her father testified this much
% her defense, and added hat he had
involved in gambling opera
ions, and had engaged 10 the con-
'piracy solely to obtain sufficient funds
o keep him from disgrace. Promin-
mt women in St. Petersburg and Mos

,zar, praying for the pardon OF Miss
'arouuoff, and appealing to humani-
arian women in Paris and London to
