Influence With the Spanish Gov
Young Girl From Prison Address
TO the American People.

The senrenee ot exile and imprisonment
for twenty years in the Spanish penal
colony of Ceuta, Africa, imposed on Evan
geina Betancouit Cisneros by the Span
ish-Cuban authorities has called forth ex-
pressions ef indignation from the civilized
world, which are now being followed by
appeals for mercy TO the Queen of Spain
from some OF the most noted humani
tarians The circumstances surrounding
Miss Cisnerus' detention and conviction are
well known; her only crime, for such IL
is called, being that she is relative TO
one who is fighting brayeiy for freedom
All the usual means lad been used to
have simple justice done in the case, but
without avail. Appeal after appeal had
been made, but none moved the Queen
of CASTLE to either pity or justice. The
fragrant injustice done the young woman,
however, could not be lost sight OF, ana
last effort is being made to move the
heart of the Queen of Spain. With this
object, MIS-. lula Ward Howe has written
the Pope, the head of the Catholic Church.

A claim for $50, 900 damages has been
filed at the State Department by DR..
Louis Edward Jerome Blanc against the
government OF Ecuador DR.. Blanc went
to Ecuador in S73, and resided there until
1881. He had farm which was thrifty,
and, besides attending to that the doctor
practiced medicine. On some occasion,
while there, Dr.. Blanc affronted the gov
ernor Of the province he resided in, and
the doctor alleges that, soon afterward,
the governor caused his arrest on an un-
important charge, and he was confined in
prison for long time. While incarcerated
he was treated in very ILL manner.
DR.. Blanc was finally released, through
the efforts Of the American minister He
returned to this country and filed claim
for damages, but the claim was not pushed
during Mr. CIeyeland's administration, and
he has begun his suit over again. The
Government viii not act in his case until
