Escaped Cuban Patriot Reaches the
shores OF America.

New York. Oct, l4.-Eyangelina Cis-
neros, who recently escaped from a
Spanish prison in Cuba, was passenger
ON the Ward line steamer Seneca, which
arrived yesterday from Havana. Miss
Cisneros' escape and safe arrival ON the
Seneca was one OF the most daring ieats
ever attempted and successfully carried
out. On Saturday, when the Seneca was
to leave Havana, detectives watched the
gangways with extra caution. Their Wig
lance would probably have prevented
the departure OF Miss Cisneros from Cuba
had it not been for refreshments, inelud-
ing wine, served them aboard the Seneca.
A few minutes before the Seneca was
ready to sail slim young fellow came
running across the wharf He had no
baggage and was fashionably dressed.
The detectives stopped him.
My name is Juan Sola," he said, and
be showed his passport. Everything was
satisfactory. So the senior was. allowed
to so aboard II is said il it had not
been for the wine the strange figure Of
Senior Soda might have aroused suspicion
Miss Cisneros' friends, when they saw
everything was satisfactory, disembarked
and watched the ship pull out, carrying
the fugitive to safety under the Stars and
Stripes.

BLAINE LOST THE CASE.
Long Contested Legal Action Be
tween Idaho Counties settled

tween Idaho Counties Settled.
Boise, Idaho, Oct lO.-Judge Stewart
has decided the case brought BY Blaine
county against Lincoln county for an ac-
counting. The decision is against Blaine.
OF all the points contested for, only one
is sustained, and that was practically ad-
mitted by Lincoln.
The court finds that the accountants
report can not be attacked excepting
where it deviated from the law. There is
found to have been only one deviation in
the matter of what are denominated the
Blaine county resources"
The law provides that the amount Of
cash in the treasures of Alluras and Lo-
gan counties applicable to payment of
debts should be ascertained and deducted
from the Indebtedness in arriving at the
amount to be apportioned. The cash
amounted to $7279.34, but the account
ants figured in lot of moneys that had
been collected by Alluras under the FL
more and other division bills; also a num-
Der of claims to which Blaine fell heir.
making a total of 1855 ,929O2, which they
deducted. The court holds that only $37,
2i9.34 should be apPOrtiOned. Blaine's
proportion is 1912, lss.49 and Lineoln's
S2lT ,S42.0l. The court also finds lat the
value Of the court house, s4l, 700, should
be added to Blaine's proportion and de-
Quoted from Lincoln's. This leaves $780,
l42Ol to be paid by Lincoln to Blaine
The accountants made the amount Sl27,-
