Liberty in Sight for Isle of Pines
Prisoners.


Prisoners.
A special cable dispatch to the Philadel-
rhia Press from Havana says: Owing 70
the delay in gathering final evidence
against Evangelina Cisneros' father and
the other Isle of Pines prisoners, Weyler
was unable to secure their removal to
Spain before he left. Marshal Blanco has
rescinded the order transferring the trial
to Madrid.
With Barrie away the witnesses will fear
lessly speak the truth, and it is said by re-
liable authority that the prisoners will be
soon set at liberty.
Marshal Blanco has ordered the cases of
all political prisoners to be laid before him
en- Monday.
Many of these men will shortly be re-
leased. The marshal appears to be most
anxious to give some speedy proof of his
-nerciful intentions in individual instances
and to secure the appreciation of the United
States.
Thousands of pacificos are still starving
but SO far the authorities are doing moth
ing to mitigate that evil. Another matter

PLAN OF AUTONOMY APPROVED.
Spatn'x Cabinet Council In Accord
With Gen. BlancO's Ideas.


Spain's cabinet council at Madrid has
approved the proposal of political amnesty
for Cuba and the Philippines. The cabi-
net has also approved measures for giving
to the inhabitants of the Islands of Cuba
and Porto Rico the same constitutional
rights as are enjoyed by Spanards, for the
bestowal of the right of suffrage upon ali;
who have attained the age of twenty-five
years and for the same census basis in
municipal provincial and parliamentary
elections The chambers of the islands will
be permitted 10 modify the scheme if they
snail deem is advisable.
The government denies that the action to
be taken with regard to the remarks made
tations that waited upon him shortly be-
fore he left Havana is the result of any
suggestion on the subject received from
Washington. No communication has been
received from the American government on
that matter.
According to cable message from Ha-
vana the court-martial will try only such
members of the crew Of the Competitor as
are American citizens.
A report says that Marshal Blanco, hav-
ing become disguised at the attitude of the
directors of the autonpmist party, threat
ened to retire If he did not succeed in eff
fecting a change in their positions. In view
OF this the autononists it is said, offered
to support the government, but failed to
state precisely what kind of support they
would give.

Idaho Goes Down In Lake sErfe-Only
Two Saved.
The steamer Idaho, of the Western Tran
Sit line, foundered in eight fathoms of wa
ter at 4:30 o'clock Saturday morning off
Long Point, on Lake Erie. Nineteen of her
crew are believed to have been drowned.
Long Point juts out into the lake from
the Canadian shore about sxty-five miles
west of Buffalo, and it's vicinity has been
the scene of many disasters.
The Idaho, commanded by Capt William
GiIlles of Buffalo, and having on board
crew of twenty-one, left Buffalo Friday
afternoon laden with freight for Milwau-
kee. A strong southwest gale was blowing
at the tine, and the weather office had
storm signals up for the lake. Capt Gillies
believed that he could weather the gale and
headed straight up the lake.
Soon after passing Long Point he found
his mistake and tried to run for shelter
Ihe waves were running high, and in turn
ing the Idaho shipped a big sea which
quenched the fires in her engines, and she
became helpless in the trough of the sea
The captain and crew Were lowering the
lifeboats when the steamer gave lurch
and went down on her side Two of the
crew, William Gill of Rochester a deck
hand, and the second mate, whose name is
unknown, managed to reach the top of a
single spar that stood above the water
There they chung until eight hours later,
when they were discovered by men on the
steamer Mariposa of the Minnesota line.

Mr.. Machen, who says he is a retired

any Objectionable element, and that the
members of one party who offered $2O,oU0

1896. The vote for Tracy, the Republic
an mayoralty candidate, was divided by
the candidacy of Seth Low upon a Citi-
Gems union ticket. Low was second and
Tracy third in the contest. The George
vote was inconsiderable. The death of
Its leader evidently dislntegrated his
following, and thousands evidently
voted for Tammany candidates 1t Is
claimed tha young George lost many
votes through the failure of inspectors
to affix his paster to mayoralty tickets.
The unofficial vote for mayor follows:
van Wyck, 235,S00; Low l49,S73; Tracy.
10, 1888; George, 20, 1856; Gleason, 521. The
vote for Van Wyck is about A.25 per
cent. of the total vote case. or less than
the 1921 per cent. cast for Bryan in
1896 in the same territory. The united
vote for Low and Tracy shows 14,127
more than Van Wyck received. The
metropolitan district is normally Demo-
cratic and the plurality for Van Wyck
is a return to normal conditions in an
election not influenced by national is

Result Is "a Reversal of Pluralities Given
Republicans I'm Last Two Elections.
Albany, n. Y, Nov. 4-The completed
returns from the state are coming in
slowly. and demonstrate that the Re-
publican landsldes of the past twoyears
have been reversed by the changing OF
something like 100000 votes. Governor
Blacks plurality in the, state last year
was over 10000 John Palmer the Re-
publican secretary of state. won the
year previous by over 100000. The in
dications are that these enormous plu-
ralities have been swept away, and
reverse plurality Of between 10000 and
$4,000 is given.
The greatest surprises of the returns
are the great gains made in the assem-
bly, by the Democrats, many of them
being in counties and districts where
there was no expectation on the part of
the Democratic managers Of winning.
Republicans explain these gains by at
tributing them to the heated munich
pal campaigns and the trading of votes.
The returns indicated that the Repub-
licans will still control the assembly
by largely decreased majority. More
surprising, perhaps than the returns
on the state and assembly district tick
cts were results of the municipal cam
paigns in the large cities. New York,
Buffalo, Rochester, Binghamton, Syra-
cuse, Utica, Albany. Troy and Schen-
ectady elected Democratic mayors.
In Albany the conditions were very
similar to those in New York. Two Re-
publican candidates split up the vote of
that party and allowed the Democrat
TO win. The combined Republican vote
was 1000 in excess of the Democratic
vote. In Buffalo and Rochester Repub-
liean success was thought to be almost
assured prior to the election, but the
results are foreign to the predictions.
The latest returns on members Of the
assembly Qower house of the state leg
islature) give the Republicans ma
jorty of twelve in a total membership
of $50. In the last assembly the Re-
publican majority was seventy eight.
Three Citizens Union nominees were
elected in this city. The senate, which
holds over, has a Republican majority
of twenty.
