the vicinity OF Line street. Line

man found a man in his night robe leaning
out OF the third-story window OF the dwell

help. He was Eli Shaw, an Invalid In the

senorita Evangelina Cosio y Cisneros,
who has passed SO many weary months in
q Spanish prison in Havana, is now safe In
New York. She arrived on the Ward line
steamship Seneca, after q thrilling escape
from Cuba, daeseed as n man, and under
an assumed name. The young fugitive
was taken from the steamer at Quarantine,
and after reaching the city In q tugboat,
was taken to the Waldorf. :
The way In which Senorita Cosio escaped
from Havana was no less startling than her
escape from the RecoIidas Jail In Havana
three nights before, when her rescue was
effected by two reporters for the New York
journal.
Since her sensational flight from eaptiv-
lily until Saturday evening Senorits Cosio
was kept concealed somewhere in Havana.
All the time she was waiting In fear n
trembling, dreading recapture, plans for
her flight to New York were being made.
A transportation ticket and passport,
made out In the name Of Mr.. Juan Sofa,
was obtained for the girl, SO that on Sat-
nrday evening, a short time before the
Beenca weighed anchor, everything was
ready for the venture. Disguised as a
man, with her long black hair concealed
under o sombrero, Senorita Cosio boldly
boarded the vessel alone.
Two Spanish detectives, stationed ut the
head OF the gangway ladder to watch for
fugitives, stopped the girl and, as she
waited in suppressed excitement. kan

Cosio, when the papers were returned to
her, fastened to her stateroom.
Until the steamer started, two hours and
o half later, the young woman did not
leave her room. A short time before the
vessel sailed the Chief OF Police, accompan-
fed by his deputy and secretary, boarded
the Seneca. They examined all the pass

refugee found herself moving toward the
hospitable shores Of America. The Stars
and Stripes floatel from the stern of the
Seneca and the lights Of Havana soon faded
away.
The Cape Hatteras light was the first
thing Senorita Cosio saw OF the coast.
When she learned hat the light was In the
United States, the young woman wa over
come by emotion, and, before all b pas
sengers, knelt on the cabin floor and
prayed. As she arose she wept. The first
sight Of the country she had heard SO much
about had proved too much for her over
strained nerves.
The Seneca was met at Quarantine by the
tug Fred Lehman, which had several OF the
girls friends aboard. As the Cuban maiden
descended the ladder from the vessels deck
to the tug she wore no hat nor wrap of any
kind. Her dress consisted of a red crepon
waist trimmed at the neck with lace, and q
black skirt.

Death in Battle.
Mr.. j. Bennett Stanford, who has just re-
turned from taking part in an expedition
to somaliland, brings news of the annihila-
tion, OF the end of June, of IN Abyssinian
army OF 5000 men, under the famous Gen
eral Ras Makonnen, Of which number only
sixty men escaped.
MI. Stanford said: "While In the interior
we came across a powerful Somali Chief
who had Just returned from the fight. He
told me that the A~byssinian force had been
raiding down the .Webbe Shebeyli River
nearly as far as the forty-ffth parallel. The
6omslis then overwhelmed them with large
numbers, allowing sixty men to go back
with the news OF the defeat. Ras Makon-
men was killed during the battle.
1.-THE affair occurred about one hundred
zS.tlAs-6eomr where we were. The whole
sh~elghborhood is still greatly excited, and
the possession OF 30 many italian rifles by
the Somalis Is evidence that the story told
OF the A~byssinian defeat Is true.
s'The latest news from Harrar was that
an A~byssiniRn army was being despatched
against the Somalis, who were eagerly an
ticipating another fight"
In regard to the reported massacre of the
