EVANGELINA CISNEROS.
If She Is Sacrificed 1t VIII be to Save tho
Nephew OF Gen. Azcagarra.


New YORK, Aug. ia dispatch to
the Herald from Havana says: The
story published to the effect that
Evangelina Cossio Cisueros, Cuban
girl, has been sentenced to 20 years
imprisonment in Ceuta is premature
1t has made Gen. Weyler, in whose
hands the whole case rests, highly in
dignant and prejudiced him against
her.
The man Berris, who attempted to
betray the girl, and who, because she
refused his advances caused her i'm
prisonment, is nephew of the present
prime minister of Spain, and every
effort is being made to hush up the
matter.
Gen. Waldo would probably have or
dered her release, but if he is put in
the position of being forced to do it,
he may insist upon her being sem
fenced
The facts of the case are these:
Nearly two years ago the fiscal or
public prosecutor in Cuba asked the
supreme tribunal in Spain to sentence
Senorita Cisneros to 20 years penal
servitude. The tribunal referred the
matter to Gen. Weyler. Gen. Weyler
hesitates even yet. Berris, who is the
military commander of the Isle
of Pines, is now in Havana,
and is doing his utmost to free
himself from blame, but strong
representations on the girls behalf
have been made to Spain, and Gen.
Weyler is undecided as to whom he
shall sacrifice. Your correspondent
has stated the case to Consul General
Lee. That big-hearted man acted in a
characteristic fashion. He sat down
and penned a personal letter to the
captain general, pleading for the
young woman, not because she
was pretty, but because she
was woman. He said that if
Gen. Weyler would pardon her,
he would undertake to send her unoffi
cially to the United States, and would
use his influence to obtain for her a
position there. When Gen. Lee was
interviewed he thumped the table with
his fist and said:
"If that young girl is liberated, l
will do anything in the world to pro-
tect her from the sharks that will
await her even at the prison doors"

STRIKE SITUATION.
Ihings Are Decidedly Mixed In
West Virgin,l.
THE MINERS FEAR THEY'LL Be DUMPED.
IL Pittsburgh is to Do All of the Settling
All Hope is Lost--The Camp at
Montana Enlivened by the Min
ers Wives Presence.
Decidedly Mixed in West virginia.

WHEELING, W. Va, Aug. l9.-The
strike situation is decidedly mixed in
West Virginia. The news that the
Pittsburgh operators have decided to
resume at all hazards, and the report
That Dolan and representatives of the
operators have asked President Ratch-
lord to come to Pittsburgh with view
to settling the strike had a depressing
influence upon West Virginia miners.
The hope has been held out that when
settlement came they would be con-
suited, and that scale Of wages that
would help them would be enforced.
But if Pittsburgh is to make the settle
ment all hope of this is lost.
The camp at Montana is still lively
place, the presence of the strikers
wives adding much to the gayety. In
the New River region five mines were
closed Wednesday, and in the Kanawha
valley but one miner went to work.
On the Norfolk & Western there is
no reduction OF output, and no organ
izers are in sight. All but two of the
peddling mines in the Wheeling dis
trict are closed, including Eastern
Ohio, and but for the use of natural
gas every industry in the middle Ohio
valley would be closed.

JOHNNIE CONWAY FOUND.
The Kidnapped Albany IN. " boy Restored
to His Parents.

ALBANY, N. Y, Aug. 19.-Five-year-
old John Conway, who has been at the
mercy of kidnapers since Monday
morning, was returned to his parents
shortly after a. IN. through the efforts
of private detectives and reporters in
the employ of the Argus. The
child was abducted by his uncle,
Joseph Hardy, and H. C. Blake. Hardy
was placed under arrest, but Blake had
to be chased by the police. He denied
all knowledge of the affair when
caught, but was offered a ransom,
and finally he confessed. He piloted
party Of reporters five miles out
in the country where he left them,
and in short time returned
with the boy in his arms. He was
given stuffed pocketbook for his ran
som and an effort made to arrest him.
When he saw that he had been trapped
he pulled a revolver, fred four shots and
broke away from his captors, who did
not pursue him, returning to the city
with the boy. Blake is still at large.

Hendrix, of New York, Unani-

DETROIT, Mich, Aug. 10. Hard, driv'
ing work characterized the last session
OF the convention Of the American
Bankers association. Promptly at nine
o'clock the gathering was called to or
der and the reading of papers left over
from Wednesday taken up, The
question, "What Legislation Is
Needed in Respect to the Cur
rency," was discussed in an inter
esting paper by N. B. Van Slyl1e,
president of the First national bank Of
Madison Wis. The speaker thought
reforms, to be permanent, should be
gradual rather than radical, and in this
direction he suggested as the first inn
portant step currency reform by
evolution-the retirement of the
troublesome greenback and the
treasury notes, a floating debt and
the practical business method Of
funding this debt into three per cent.
government bonds in denominations
from fifty to thousands of dollars each.
such three per cent. bonds, il paya-
BILE in 80 years" said Mr.. Van Slykc,
'and irredeemable before, would take
up the present bonds issued, as they
mature, and if, by permitting banks to
issue their circulating notes upon
the par of such three per cent
bonds in the same proportion only as
the government circulating notes
might be returned, redeemed, and then
forever retired, it would keep the vol
ume of all the currency undisturbed,
by the gradual decrease of one class
and corresponding increase of the 9TH
er."

THE BUTTERINE LAW.
Wholesale Prosecutions of VIolators to be
Begun In Chicago.

CHICAGO, Aug. 9,-Prosecutions on a
wholesale scale will, it is said, soon be
instituted against violators of the
new butterine law, which prohibits
the coloring of imitation but
ter. 1t is claimed that deal
ers in all parts of the city are sell
ing butterine and other preparations
in open defiance of the law, and with
mutual understanding that the matter
is to be brought to the supreme
court to have the constitutionality
of the law passed upon. In this
it is said they will be accommodated
with a vengeance. Three prominent
firms have already been indicted for
violating the law, and evidence is be-
ing collected in other cases. The Ma
tional Dairy union is said to be behind
the prosecution.

DENVER Col, Aug. 19.-In a letter
for the public, eX-Gov. j. B. Grant, of
the OmHhN-Grnnt smelter, says regard
ing the continued fall In the price of
silver:
I'm my opinion the world can pro-
duce not TO exceed $1,000, 900 ounces
per annum at so cents per ounce. The
annual absorption is greater than $780,
600, 900 ounces, so that 90 cents should
be a bedrock price.
I'm the immediate future ii may go
below 80 cents, because smeltcrs and
Others are offering to sell millions OF
ounces at the best prices to be OBJ
tained 30, go and 90 days hence. This
is done with view to getting rid of
present stocks with as little loss as
possible. l put so cents as bed
rock, because believe that the
world will continue to absorb an
increasing amount of silver from year
to year, and don't believe that it is
possible to maintain the present out
put at 80 cents.
"The Ontario and DAILY mines, OF
Utah, produced last year 1,7OO, 600
ounces of silver, and made profit Of
S220,000 with silver at 81 cents. A
fall of II cents an ounce means a
loss of $3.50, 900 us compared with
last years operations. The Broken
Hill mine, of Australia, produced last
year 6,5O0,00O ounces of silver, and
made a profit OF Sl,5OO, 900. With sill
yer at so cents they would have made
only $4,000 The ore in this mine is
gradually getting lower in grade, and
