THE PLUCKY GIRL is FREE.
ESCAPED Cuban Patriot Reaches the
shores of America.

New York, Oct. l4.--Evangelina CiS-
neros, who recently escaped from II
Spanish prison in Cuba, was passenger
on the Ward line steamer Seneca, which
arrived Yesterday from Havana. Miss
Cisncros escape and safe arrival ON the
Seneca was one of the most daring teats
ever attempted and successfully carried
out. On Saturday. when the Seneca was
to leave Havana, detectives watched the
gangways with extra caution. Their Wig
lance would probably have prevented
the departure of Miss Cisneros from Cuba
had it not been for refreshments, lnclud-
inc wine, served them aboard the Seneca.
A few minutes before the Seneca was
ready to sail slim young fellow came
running across the wharf. He had no
baggage and was fashionably dressed.
The detectives stopped him.
My name is Juan Sofa, he said, and
he showed his passport. Everything was
satisfactory. SO the senior was allowed
to 90 aboard. 1t is said if it had not
been for the wine the strange figure of
Senior Sofa might have aroused suspicion.
Miss Cisneros friends, when they saw
everything was satisfactory, disembarked
and watched the ship pull out, carrying
the fugitive to safety under the Stars and
