QUAKER CITY MYSTERY.
Police Unable to Discover the Muir.
derer of Major Wilson.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 22.-There were
no developments to-day in the mystery sur
rounding the murder of Major William C.
Wilson, the aged librarian, on Monday
night last, and the case bids fair to take
rang among the unsOlved crimes of local
history. Marion Stuyvesant, the muatto
who was employed as a porter in Wilson S
place, is still in custody as is also the
white woman with whom he lived. The pO-
lice admit that the circumstances which
led them to suspect Stuyvesant of com
plicity in the crime are not of a tangible
character, but they hope that he knows
something which may shed further light on
the case. Both he and the woman have
been subjected to rigid examinations but
neither has made a single admission which
would incriminate the mulatto. StuyVesant
says he EFT his employer IN the store on
the evening of the murder and went direct
to his home and that he knew nothing of the
crime until he returned to the library the
following morning.

MAY USE OIL FOR FUEL.
Government VIII Experiment with
Petroleum for Torpedo Boats.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 22.-The secretary
of the navy has ordered Lieutenant Nathan
Sargent to proceed at once to the oil
fields of Pennsylvania, where he will make
a careful investigation of the various
grades of petroleum produced in that 1e-
gion, with a view to its Use as fuel for ma
rine engines. On the conclusion of this
work he will report to the authorities in
charge of the Newport torpedo station. and
plans will be drawn up for oil engine,
which will be placed in one Of the new tor
pedo boats now being built by the Here
shoffs. This will be the first attempt to
use petroleum as fuel for the torpedo fleet,
but from the success that has been at
tanned with this motive force in
swift steam launches owned by pri-
vate parties, both here and abroad,
the navy department looks very
favorably on the experiment. Some of the
advantages expected from the new fuel are
economy of machine space, and consequent
ly greater fuel-carTying capacity, econO-
my in the cost of fuel and the ability to
develop extremely high steam pressure un-
der forced draughts. The plans for the
new engine are not yet laid, and will de-
pend largely on the report on the various
grades of petroleum at command. 1t is
possible that with this innovation in fuel
will be combined the use Of the steam tur-
bine engine, whose success in the English
torpedo boat Turbina has marked a de-
cided epoch in the development of these
feet-footed destroyers abroad.

EXPELLED FROM CUBA
CORRESPONDENT PUNISHED FOR
CRITICISING GEN. WEYLER.
Efforts in Behalf of EvangeIina Co.'S
sio CisnerOs-Capture of Al
legged FiIibusters.

NEW YORK, Aug. 22.-George f. Bryson,
Havana correspondent of the New York
Journal. has been expelled from Cuba for
criticsing General Weyler's course in the
case of Evangelina COssiO Cisneros, the fair
young relative of the president of the
Cuban republic, who has been condemned
by a Spanish military court to twenty
years Imprisonment on the coast of Africa.
The Journal says: THE Queen Regent of
Spain has received Mrs. Jefferson Davis S
cabled appeal for mercy and the Pope has
read Mrs. Julia Ward HoWe's noble plea
for the beautiful young captive. Last night
Mrs. John A. Logan telegraphed a petition
to the Queen Regent, and the mother su-
perior Of the Sisters of Notre Dame of
America and the Sisters of the Visitation
have added their influence to that Of the
other distinguished American women who
are assisting in the effort to save this pure
and unoffending Christian girl from de-
hatchery as well as death-for that is what
a sentence OF twenty years imprisonment
in Ceuta means. Colonel Berris, the gov
ernor Of the Isle of Pines who attempted
to violate Miss Cisneros, and failing in
that is now pressing a charge of rebellion
against her, is the nephew of the Spanish
prime minister. Every hour counts in the
work Of saving her. If once She sets foot
in Ceuta she will be past salvation. The
customs of that most frightfully penal col
ony in the world can hardly be explained
in the columns of a decent newspaper. She
is a child, almost, in years, her father is a
prisoner, she is beautiful, she is defense
less"
1t is reported that Miss Cisneros, pending
her trial. was locked up in prison of Ha-
vana, used only for the most degraded of
women. She was treated with all the
brutality of which Weylers men can be
capable and was then ntenced to a worse
than death punishment md all because she
had the blood of the Cisneros family in her
veins. A lady now in New York, who was
incarcerated with her in Havana, thus de-
scribes the fair Cuban: Her features are
perfect Her large eyes, shaded by brows
that could not be more artistic if a master
hand had painted them, are soulful and ex-
pressve to a degree that bdff1es description.
She is of girlish figure and medium height,
and has shapely hands and small feet. Her
mouth is not too large or too small, and
her teeth and waving hair complete a per-
sonality of rare attractiVeneSs.'

LYNCHING IN ALASKA.
White Man Hanged for RansaclNing
thn Rnc-mnce OF a1Een erfeet.,

w
the baggage of ''Tenderfeet.
VANCOUVER, B. c., Aug. 22.-The Union
Steamship Company's steamer Coqultlan
arrived from Dyea yesterday. Its captain
states that no one was anxious to come
back with him. There were three thousand
men at Skaguay and six hundred at Dyea,
which is being deserted for the former
place. The day they arrived was an eventful
one The body of a white man was swing
ing to a tree He had been caught going
through the baggage of some of the new
arrivals No one knew his name and his
pedigree was not inquired into. He was
caught stealing. The evidence was clear
to the hastily assembled jury and he was
hanged as a terrible warming. 1t is SAID
he was a San Francisco gambler.
A number of the Coquitlan crew deserted
at Dyea and went packing at 80 cents per
and provisions are on the shore, exposed,
that should a heavy rain come on the loss
would be very. great The weather. now
ever, is fine and provisions abundant.
The trail from Skaguay across the noun
tains is very bad and dangerous Many
horses have been drowned in the qulcksands
and bogs. The government has four men
working on the Dyea trail, but White pass
trail is considered best. 1t is now blazed all
the way. The night they were at Skaguay
the miners held meeting and decided to
ask for volunteers to make road through
White pass. Next morning, although big
paw was promised, there were no volunteers.
The Canadian mounted police nave gone
through the Skaguay trail.
Passengers on the Coquitlan say man
has been baniShed from Skaguay by pros
pectorS for attempting to collect a toll OF
50 cents from each person crossing tree
which he had failed across a creek on the
out. The day the steamer left five men
arrived with $40 900 in gold dust.

HOOUIAM, Gray's Harbor, Wash, Aug.
22.-The steamer Jewett has arrived from
ST. Michael's and reports big crowds there
and great excitement by Klondikers getting
ready to make the trip through. Some
have determined to camp there, noting the
impossibility Of getting through While the

there will be considerable hardship eX-
perienced by those going in He sailed from
Portland in June, carrying provisions Tor
St. MichaePs, and left there July II.
The captain says an immense amount or
provisions has been sent 10 ST. Michael's
eight thousand tons of supplies at that
point awaiting transportation up the river
The bulk Of this stuff was destined for DaW-
son City very little being billed for other
places. 1t has been shipped there mostly by

according to reports of the large quantities
of supplies en- route there is little danger
Of starvation among the miners during the
winter From the number Of craft that
have since landed at st. MichaeIs with
large consignments OF freight it is probable
that eight hundred tons or more is either

forwarded The facilities for carrying
freight in from the rivers mouth seem 10 be
sufficient At ST. MichaeIs the supplies are
loaded on barges and are toWed by the
river boats to Dawson City.
CAPTAIN Johnson states that when he left
there was very little gold then awaiting
having been sent down on the steamers
Portland and Excelsior. But the prospects
of a large quantity being sent out this
