lean friends accompanied her by train
from New Orleans. On reaching Jersey
City, Miss Cisreros was taken in a
closed carriage to the headquarters OF
the Cuban sympathizers in this city,
where she was joyfully received. After
a short reception she was taken away
and uo one was allowed to see her until
this evening.

newspaper was published. this after
noon asking all loyal Cubans to assem-
BILE at the Office Of the junta at s o'clock
to join in torchlight parade in honor of
the young woman's delivery.

Journal emphatically denied tonight
that the young woman was in the city
and tour of all the rooms in the Journal
office proved the falsity of the rumor
that she was secreted there. 1t was

thorized and untrue.

States, they canrot be surrendered,
even if claimed by the Spanish author

ciples of law that are never deviated
from, according to the state departing nj
people. AS far as concerns Miss Cisne-
ros, she being a political refugee, she
cannot, under our organic law, be sur
rendered, and, there is no clause in the
Spanish extradition treaty that would
serve as a basis for claim for her sur
reujer.
