CASE OF MISS CISNEROS
STORY OF HER ARR. EST TOLD BY A
YOUNG CUBAN REFUGEE.
Governor of the Isle of Pines Charged
with Attempting to Assault
the Young Woman.

NEW YORK, Aug. 3O.-Pablo Superville
a young Cuban, who assisted in the rescue
of Evangelina Cisneros from the clutches
of BerriZ, the governor general of the Isle
of Pines, has arrived here. The full horror
OF the situation which confronted the help
less girl when Berriz sought her ruin is
made plain in the following affidavit, sworn
to by Superville:
Il was in the Isle of Pines, in the month
of July, 1885, when Miss Evangelina Cossioy
Cisneros was arrested She engaged
to be married to my cousin, Emilio Betan-
court, and l therefore came to know her
very we'll. The charge that she enticed
Colonel Berriz to her house to be assas-
sinated by men who were concealed there
for that alleged purpose in connection with
an uprising previous on the island is abb
solutely false.
"Evangelina had been pestered with i'm
proper proposals by Berriz. She had re-
pulsed his advances time and again, but he
would not leave her alone At length, find
! ing that he could not accomplish his base
purpose through promises of giving her IA
Their his freedom, he determined to use
force. Berriz had her father arrested Sc
cretly and locked up in the calaboose July
26, 1885, for the sole purpose of getting him
out of the way that the girl might be alone
in her house. On that night he went to her
house at II o'clock peeped through a win
dow and saw that she was alone in her
room and then opened the door and en-
leTeu was IN my uncle mouse near by,
about to go to bed when L heard Evan
gelinas cries for help.
With three other young men l rushed to
her assistance and we found the girl Strug-
Cling with Berriz and crying out. We res
cred her and tied BerriZ, with the intention
of delivering him to the judge. Enrique
Gonzales But before we could get him out
of the house soldiers, who had been at
tracted by his cries-for when he found that
his cowardly, fearful, womanish pleas for
mercy were of no avail, he screamed out,
calling for help-appeared, and we fed. We
were arrested the next day, as was also
Evangelina
This is the truth of the occurrence in the
Isle Of at mas ha9 I9F It's Iefrlge
and the frightful indignities and privations
that Evangelina has suffered and is still
suffering in the Casa de Recojidas. The
charge of instruction trumped up by
Berriz not only to give him an excuse for
wreaking vengeance but to cover up the
unspeakable shame of his conduct"

Two Alleged EmbezzIers.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 3O.-Herman W..
Vansenden, private secretary to Secretary
Carlisle in the last administration, and Den
mis- j. Canty, formerly clerk in the Interstate
commerce Commission, We're arrested to-
day on warrants charging them with en-
bezZlement of ST. 1857 from Wilkins q Co.. a
brokerage firm. They were charged also
with maintaining gaming table. NanSen-
den and Canty went into the brokerage
business this spring and the arrest followed
a lawsuit begun by Wilkins q Co. against
them to recover moneys alleged TO be due
as the result OF certain deals between the
firms.
Mr.. Vansenden, it is understood was a
silent partner in the firm which was styled
Canty IL Co. His friends say that he had
no part in managing the business of the
firm and was absent most of the time in
Kentucky, where he was state agent of an
insurance company. CAVITY q Co. sus-
pended several weeks ago and Wilkins &
Co. allege that Canty and Vansenden di-
vided between them money forwarded here
by their New York representatives to pay
profits accruing to Wilkins q Co., on sew

Circular Issued by Secretary Gage
and Attorney G.enernl Nick enna.


WASHINGTON, Aug. 30-Secretary Gage
and Attorney General McKenna issued
joint circular to-day to collectors and Gus
toms officers and United States attorneys
and marshals relative to the enforcement
of the Chinese exclusion laws In the cir
cular Secretary Gage says: In order to
more effectually prevent the irregular ad-
mission to this country of Chinese persons
claiming TO be of American birth through
the submission of testimony believed to be
fraudulent, it has been decided to allow
such persons on their admission at the port
of first arrival to proceed to their destina-
ton, where they may be arrested and more
vigorously prosecuted than appears to be
at present practicable. Collectors of GUS
toms at ports where Chinese of alleged
American birth apply for admission 10 this
country should, after such examination as
may be required to secure the identity, deS-
tination, etc, of such Chinese persons, al
low them to proceed on their journey but in
each instance provision should be made for
the1r arrest again and for their deliVerance
TO the proper authorities for the institution
OF legal proceedings to determine their
right to remain in the country. The de-
partments attention has been called to in
stances where Chinese persons suspected of
being irregularly in the United States upon
being interrOgated, have produced CerIth-
Gates signed by United States commits
sioner, stating the persons had appeared
before him and been adjudged to be law
fully in the United States. as they were
citizens. By the act of May 8, 1852, state
and federal courts are prohibited from ad-
hitting Chinese to citizenship and the cues
ton whether children of Chinese parents
born in the United States are citizens is
now pending the Supreme Court Until
otherwise ordered, all Chinese found in this
country who are unable to produce laborers'
certificates of registration, or evidence of
their status as bona tide merchants or la
borers in transit to other countries, should
be arrested by Chinese immigrant IL spec
thOrities for the determination of their
right to remain in the country"
Attorney General McKenna directs the
officials of his department to cooperate in
carrying out these instructions to customs
officials and instructs attorneys or their as
SiStants to appear at all hearings to repre-
sent the governments interests.
