carriage carried Senorita Cisneros to liberty. Her friends went with her. For the two mysterious young men have not appeared since at 1 O'Farrell lane or anywhere else in Havana, so far as the authorities can ascertain.
 In the morning when the roll call of prisoners was checked off, there was one missing. The missing one was promptly identified, but even then they did not realize there had been an es- cape. They thought she must still be within the prison walls, and instituted a search.
 The house of every person they coula suspect of harboring the girl was en- tered and searched. Couriers were rush. cd to the outskirts of the city and to the water front to advise the civil guards to be on the lookout The ma- rine police were ordered to overhaul and inspect every boat that put out. The Ward line steamer, which was to leave that day for New York, was searched until 1t seemed that not even a cat could have escaped the inspec- ton. Of course 1t was all futile. The authorities do not know whether Evan gelina Cisneros was rushed through the guards and out into the rebel lines, or is concealed in Havana or has escaped by water and is on her way to the United States or Mexico.

CUBAN HEROINE FREE.
senorita Cisneros Rescued From a Vile
 Havana Prison.

Havana Prison.
 Havana, Oct. 11-Senorita Evangelina Cossio Cisneros, young Cuban wom- an who had for some time been im- prisoned in the Casa de Recogidas, has escaped and is believed to be now on her way to the United States.
 All the indications are that the girl escaped with the help of two young men who for two months have watched for the opportunity to get her out.
 She went through a window, one of the bars of which had been filed through, across a ladder to the roof of the house where these two men had a room.
 The Spanish authorities are frantical- ly working to establish the identity of these two young men, but, though they were in Havana for at least two months. 1t cannot be ascertained even if they were Cubans or Americans.
 This much the police have learned:
 On Wednesday night Evangelina offered her cellmates some candy that had been sent in to her some days be- fore.
 They noticed nothing peculiar about the candy, but they slept like the dead after eating it.
 On the roof of an adjoining house on O'Farrell lane the police found a sort of gangplank made of three boards, strongly hinged together. It could be folded so as to be carried in cab, and when extended made firm board walk about 10 feet long and IS inches wide. Near 1t they found a new knotted rope that might have been used as hand line to the bridge. A new heavy caliber Smith & Wesson revolver, fully loaded, also lay on the roof.
 The police also learned that two young men recently rented the house on O'Far- rell lane.
 Incredible as 1t appears, these devoted and desperate friends of the imprisoned girl must have crossed their bridge and erouched in the window night after night while they filed the iron bar through.
 The rescuers neglected nothing. When at last the bar was sawed through, one

Prior to this General Blanco had not resorted to extreme measures, but spurred on by the per sonal danger to which he had been ex- posed, he issued decree ordering that all property belonging to residents of the Philippine islands who had been implicated in the rebellion should be forfeited for the benefit of the govern ment, a weeks grace being offered to those who were willing to surrender
 But neither this decree nor General Blanco's military tactics nor other ex- ceptional measures which he took to re- press the rebellion prevented it from spreading, and in December, after broad hint from the government that his methods were not sufficiently severe, he rendered his resignation and was succeeded by General Camille Polavie- ia, commander of the Sixth army corps, who was sent to the Philippines with in- structions virtually identical with those given to Captain General Weyler when |~the latter succeeded Marshal Martinez Campos in Cuba.
 Shortly after this Marshal Blanco was appointed chief of the military house. hold of the queen regent. He has been described as the 'softest hearted soldier in Spain," and his whole career indi- cates his disposition to employ mild rather than violent measures. Ever since the fall of the Azcarraga cabinet the name of Marshal Blanco has been the most prominent among the possible successors of General Weyler, and the impression in some well informed uuar. ters has been that, if appointed gover- nor general of Cuba, he would be em- powered to approach the insurgents with view to arriving at a mutual agreement for the cessation of hostili- ties. He enjoys the personal friendship and entire confidence of the queen re- gent

 Harry RoumaIn. who also came down on the City of Topeka, having just come from Dawson City, says there iH not enough food there for one-third of the population. There is no hope of relief coming up the river, as the water is very low. He says there ia no chance of taking relief over the Dalton trail. The only way to get there in winter is on snow by the Dyea trail and down the river on the ice. One hundred and three head of cattle got fin over the Dalton trail but other cattle on the trail will never reach Dawson, the trail being covered with snow.

 Jersey Dies at Jersey City.
 Jersey City, Oct 9.-John Roderick McPherson, formerly United States sem ator, died at Taylor's hotel In this city late last night.
 MT. McPherson had been staying at the hotel for over a month. He had not been well for some time. being sick with intestinal trouble. On Tuesday last he was obliged to take to his bed. His condition was not alarming until toward the last. Last night heart trouble set in as complication. and the former senator's wife and daugh- ter. who had gone to Washington some days ago, were telegraphed for. Mir. McPherson sank rapidly, and death re- suited from heart disease.
 Ex-Senator McPherson was born at York, Livingston county, N. r., on May g. 1893. He was for a time engaged in farming and stock raising. He became a resident of Jersey City in 1858. There he entered largely into the livestock trade. and very soon became one of the

COLONEL GEORGE E. WAKING DOES
 NOT ACCEPT NOMINATION.

Declines to Run on the JeffersonIan De-
 mooracy's Ticket For ComptroIIer-Day-
 ton wn Probably Accept the Nomina-
 tion-Adams withdraws.
 New York, Oct. 13-Yhe fight for the fnayoralty of Greater New York con- tinues fast and furious. and each day brings new and interesting develop ments. Among the notable events of the last 24 hours were the filing of protest against the Citizens union ticket on the ground of irregularity and the withdrawal of Colonel George E. Waring from the Henry George ticket, on which he had been placed for the office of comptroller.
 It seems altogether probable that ex- Postmaster Charles w. Dayton will ac- cept the nomination.
 In defining his position, Mir. Dayton says:
 My position is this. that I will do anything and everything in my power between now and election day to crush out Crokerism in New York. If it sur wives, independence and political liberty must die.
 Whether or not I will do my fighting as candidate or the George ticket or on the stump has not been actually de- cided. It probably will be in few hours. The reason why it has not been decided is that. as Colonel waring Is at present legally on the ticket for comptroller. the nomination cannot be offered to me officially.
 If Colonel Waring gets off the ticket and the George managers formally nominate me, then I will give them an answer quick and to the purpose I may accept, and with that you can rest.
 'I had long talk with Mir. Georges managers last night, and we went over the situation. We thoroughly under stand each other. The question of can didates came up. and, as I say, if they come to me again they will get my an- swer officially
 "As to Crokerism, you cannot say too much for me against it. It has proved the bane of the city. I would work and run against him If necessary, even if l beaten fin such campaign, the very fight we would make would aid every young man that Is to come after us"
 The first grand ratification meeting of the regular Democracy at Tammany hall tonight, arrangements for which have been completed, promises to be one of the most largely attended gath erings in the history of the organiza- tion Besides the meeting in the large hall there will be overflow meetings on Fourteenth street and in Irving place.

QuIgg Is Confident.

"At the present moment General Ira cy is as good as elected" said Chair man Lemuel k. Quigg of the Republican committee last evening. MT. Low will not get 60.000 votes in the combined boroughs of Manhattan and Brooklyn. Henry George is a much stronger man and will poll much larger vote. I am not oversanguine, but am speaking from the results of careful estimates and reviews of the situation"
 Speaking of the protests against the Citizens union nominations, MT. Quigg said that the persons intrusted with the securing of the names for the peti- tion of Seth Low had not fulfilled all the requirements of the law. He stated that mere words were not names There were errors made by the notaries. who in attesting the affidavits forgot to mention the names and contented them selves with the phrase, "The above ap- peared before me" MT. Quigg added that this would not do, as the names must be mentioned every time. There were many other irregularities that were not merely technical errors. and. MT. Quigs said that the protests were made on good legal grounds. and he thought the contentious would be justi- fled.

The Meeting Said to Have Been Very Cor

 as Captain General of Cuba-He Hopes
 to Speedily End the War.
 Madrid, Oct 13.-United States Min ister Woodford was received in audi ence by the queen regent yesterday afternoon, the reception being of the most cordial character. A private ca- ble message from Washington declares that President Mckinley will en- deavor to induce the insurgents to &C., cept autonomy, and if they refuse he will do his utmost to put an end to agitation and to prevent filibustering, as he believes, now that Captain Gen. eral Weyler is recalled, congress will support this policy"
 General Ramon Blanco, who has been appointed captain general of Cuba to succeed General Weyler, says that he will act with great energy against the insurgents and will employ all political means to restore equality of treatment In the various sections of the communal ty The captain general adds that he has the greatest desire to end the hor- TOTS of war and to establish peace by the system which he adopted in 1879.
 Captain General Ramon Blanco y Are- mas, who will succeed Captain General Valeriano Weyler as governor general of Cuba, has had his chief administrative experience in the Philippines. He suc- ceeded Captain General Despujol as governor general of the Philippines in 1894, and for his services in that capac- ity was raised to the rank of marshal in May of 1895. Tn August of 1896 he reported to the Spanish minister of the colonies the existence of an extensive plot aiming at the independence of the islands. This rapidly took on the pro- portions of a formidable insurrection, which the efforts of General Blanco were powerless to check. In September of that year he narrowly escaped as- sassination. A plot was formed to sur prise the garrison at Manila, to seize
