Him With IL Mnchette When
They Found Him

New York. Jan. "A Havana special to
the Mail and Express says: The escape
from instant death of Harry Delgado. the
Mail and Express correspondent, was little
short of marvellous. 1t was learned here
yesterday that he has undergone an oper-
alton in the San Ambrosia hospital, and
that it will be determined at the end of
nine days whether he is likely to live or
die. DelSado's vitality was much reduced
by his experiences. He lay for ten weeks
in Il thatched hut, without medical atten-
tion.
When his hiding place was discovered he
was so weak that he could scarcely move.
He had no arms and no ammunition. The
commander of the squad was about to dis.
patch him with Il machete, after asking
him his name. One of the Spanish soldiers
remembered that there was a reward of
20O.00e pesetas for the capture of Ricardo
Delgado and Perido Delgado, suspected of
being a tilibustering agent i'll Florida. They
believed Henry Delgado TO be one of these
two. and carried him off to Havana, where
they expected to see him shot after having
received the blood money.

Not to BE Prosecuted for Piracy.

Washington. Jan. 1.-THE report that the
government intends to prosecute the al
legged flibuster, the Three Friends, and
her officers. on a charge of piracy. is with

Friends fired upon the vessel of another
nation is not. in the opinion of the officials
of the department of justice, sufficient for
