TAMPA, FLA, Sept. 2-Brigadier-G Gen.
eral Enrique Collazo of the Cuban army
has written several letters to his family in
this city on the situation of affairs in
Cuba. The letter, though greatly delayed,
contains some new fea lures. Under date
of La Paz, June 26 1897. he writes:
"We have just passed the electoral
period with tranquility and the exercise
of our rights OF liberty. There were IL. 600
votes cast in Orienta, the eastern division,
which is composed of the provinces of
Camaguey, Puerto Principe and Santiago
The official board met at Malanoche on
the 24th of June and declared the results.
"The final meeting to select the new
Government will be held some time in
September. / think we will change the
Goyernme rent without any difficulty and in
conformity with the law, so that the out
side world can see that in the midst of
this terribl struggle we can live together
as a free people in the exercise of our just
rights.
"There has been but little doing in the
way of operations recently. The exces-
sive rains and the sickness OF the Spanish
soldiers have really paralyzed all opera

VICTORIA, B. c., Sept. 2-The pas
sailing had arrived at an understanding
TO seize the tender Eugene on arrival at
St. Michael if meals were not furnished
them on the trip up the river, but Col
lector Milne stepped ahead of the pas
sengers, and had the steamer seized at
Union, B. c., where both vessels called to
coal, imposing fine of $400 for coming to
Victoria and leaving again without report
ing to the customs authorities.
On Tuesday the Eugene came over from
Port Angeles to meet the Bristol. she
came within the Victoria customs district
and failed to report TO any officer.
Yesterday Collector Milne was apprised
of the case and Immediately teIegrep phed
to an officer at Union to seize the boat, as
he had imposed fine of $4OO.
The boat was seized all right, but this

vessel was on her way TO st. Michael.
The Sub Collector asked for authority TO
charter a boat to endeavor to overtake
the Eugene. The authority was refused,
for, althonghit will take longer, there Is
another way of overtaking the steamer.
Word will be sent to Dawson City, and

and confident.
A ships cargo of outfits is piled up pic
turesquely on the summit of the pass. 1t
is about 1000 feet higher than the White
Pass. The climb 10 the summit of the
Chilcoot on the coast side is 1000 feel,
seemingly straight up. From below it
looks impossible 10 scale it with pack on
the back. One must pull himself up on
hands anu knees in many places.
The effort to reach the summit is ap-
pailing to a white man, yet it is being
ascended every day by scores of Klon-
ants crawling from rock to rock. The
wind howls throgh the short. narrow can
yon at the top. Horses without pack
have gone over the summit OF the Chill
coot and are being used for packing on
the other side.
From the ferry on the trail just above
Dyea to the foot of the canyon the trail
follows the river bottom, and is level, but
rocky. Several swift streams, deep to the
hips must be forded. The trail from the
foot OF the canyon to Sheep Camp, near
the foot of the urnmit, is soft, muddy
marshy good, bad and Indifferent. There
are many short, steep elm bs, but no long
ones. Streams on this stretch are crossed
on fallen trees, the upper surfaces of which
are hewn fat. Horses ford. There is one
bridge over which a toll of so cents is
charged for each horse.
The distance from Dyea to Sheep Camp
is fourteen miles, and from Dyea to Lake
Llnderman is twenty-eight miles. Res
taurants at Sheep Camp furnish meals at
IS cents. Several hundred tents are
pitched at Sheep Camp, which is the most
important and populous relay post on the
trail Over 300 Indians are packing on
this trail.
Chief Donabauk has sent word to all the

Meanwhile There Is Severe Fight
ing in Which Rebellious Natives
Are Defeated.

sIMLA, INDIA Sept. 2-Colonel Abbott,
with two guns and a squadron of the
Eighteenth Bengal Lancers and the First
Regiment of Sikhs, has attacked 1900 OF
the enemy at Doa bakdo, on the road from
Hangu to Thief. The Orakzais fed, the
cavalry falling to cut off their retreat.
The rumor that the Indian Government.
is about to send fresh letters to the Ameer
of Afghanistan regarding the alleged COM
plicity of Afghans in the frontier upris-
ings proved to be without foundation.
The Ameer's first reply to the Govern
ment is regarded as satisfactory.
News has been received that the flying
column unter command of Colonel
Richardson has reached Sadda, thus rem
dering the Parchinar headquarters, in the
Kurram Valley, safe, as Sadda com mands
the only route from the Orakzai country.
The news from the Kohat side is satis-
factory also, thei Orakzais having with
drawn from their territory, though large
force of them is still facing Samana.
The authorities have sanctioned the i'm
mediate concen tration OF two brigades un-
der Colonel Elles at Shabkadar, to ad-
vance as punitive force direct into the
Mohamand country and check an ex-
pected raid by Haddah MulIah with 1000
tribesmen.
This decision has given great satisfac-
ton. and the knowledge that the British
forces have at least taken the offensive
will probably have a deterrent effect upon
the tribes all along the frontier.
1t is reported that punitive expedition
consisting of 10000 men will shortly be
sent into the Afridi country with orders
to push on to Tirah.
BOMBAY, INDIA, Sept. 2-The British
post at Gazarbund, Beluchstan, which
was held by native .evies. was attacked on
Sunday night last by numbe of Bra
huis, who m murdered and robbed the levies
and some travellers who had sought refuge
there.
There is no decisive news from any,.
where along the frontier this morning.
The centers of interest are Hangu and

unced before fair court his conviction

She said the prosecuting attorney had
said she would be sentenced to twenty
years Punishment.
She said she knew Colonel Berris was
coming TO her house one night. because
his secretary had told her so. She opened
the door when he knocked AS TO how he
was seized or by whom she would not say.
She escaped from him, but was arrested
the following morning and brought to
Havana.
She says the greatest favor any one
could do for her would be to secure for her
an interview with General Weyler. She
says: II could convince him if he would

does not care TO be exposed to these eyes
and winning ways.
A society belle could not have enter
tanned callers more gracefully nor with
more vivacity.
A careful examination of the case of
Evangellna Cossio shows there are two
sides. There has been much exaggeration
in the reports of her case. She is not ILL
treated.
she is not forced to scrub floors, nor to
do any work. She is not made to sleep in
a filthy dormitory with vile women. She
is not compelled TO eat bad food. She is
not sick and consumptive, and she has no,
been tried and sentenced to be banished
to penal settlement.
Furthermore, the jaiIer told me he knew
she was going to be pardoned within q
short time and released. How ever, the
other side of the question is bad. From
July, 1885, to February, 1897. she was
kept downstairs In this miserable jail
with all the low women and criminals.
Therefore although there has been ex.
aggeration, there has been ample cause
for protest against the Spaniaris' treat
ment of this young woman arrested for
political reasons.
In Government circles nothing has beer
heard from Madrid in regard to trans
ferring Evangelina to convent. Opinion:
differ as to whether such change would
be OF benefit. II her case is le. alone for q
while am confident she will be released
and perhaps ordered to leave the island.
