PRETTY CUBAN REFUGEE
NOW UNDER THE GUARDIANSHIP OF
MRS. JOHN A. LOGAN.
Evangelina CessiO CisnerOs to Be
Well Cared Forfeiture by Han
mis- Taylor on Cuba.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 19.-An order was
issued by the Orphans Court to-day max
ing Mrs John A. Logan guardian for Miss
Evangelina Cossio Cisneros. The pro-
ceedings in court were very brief. but the
senorita's appearance created much inter
est. The petition for guardianship set out
that Miss Cisneros has declared her inten-
ton to become a citizen of the United
States, so far as the law allows, and that
she intends to enter an institution of learn
ing in this city and to hereafter remain
resident of Washington. The petition also
cites the incarceration of her father, Jose
Augustine Cossio y Serrano, and that there
is no time fixed for his release, and that
there is reason to believe that it will be
long time before he is liberated, if at all.
The case was before Judge Hagner, of the
Orphans Court, and Mrs. Macias, whose
guest the young lady now is, acted as her
interpreter. Following is the order of the
court:
ION consideration of the petition of
Evangelina Cossio Cisneros, by her next
friend, Karl Decker, and said Evangelina
Cossio y Cisneros, born the 23d Of Septem-
Der, 1878, having appeared in open court
and elected Mary S. Logan, of the city of
Washington, District of Columbia. to be
her legal guardian, it is, this 18th day of
November, A. d. 1897, adjudged, ordered
and decreed that Mary S. Logan be and
she hereby is appointed guardian of Evan
gelina COsSio y CisnerOS on her giving bond
in the sum of $500 for the faithful perform
ance of the trust reposed in her, 1t being
proved to the court that the father of the
said Evangelina is now under confinement
as a prisoner in the Island of Cuba, and
that process could not be served on him
for any useful purpose in this case"

NEW YORK, Nov. 19.-The attendance at
the horse show tonight equaled, if it did
not somewhat surpass, the gathering of So

PANIC IN MoNTEvIpEo.
Row in the Chamber of Deputies May
Start a Revolution.


MONTEvIDEO, Nov. 19.-The city is in
a panic over an incident at to-day's session
of the Chamber of Deputies and the report
that DIR. MIGUEL Herrera Obes. minister
of the interior and of justice in the Borda
Cabinet, has been shot with a revolver.
In the chamber DIR. Herrera Obes made
a violent attack upon Senior Cuestas. who
assumed the presidency of the republic ad
interim on the assassination of Senior j.
1diarte Borda. who was shot by Arrendondo
during the national fete Aug. %. On Sept
20 Senior Cuestas issued a declaration of
tration with strict economy, to purge the
public departments, especially the Depart
ment of Customs, and religiously to pay
the interest on the public debt At that
time he expressed the hope that the Depart
ment OF Customs would yield at least
5000 900 francs monthly.
To-day DIR. Herrera v ObeS called on him
for a more explicit statement as to his pro-
gramme in the event of his election as
President. Senior Eduardo McEachers
minister of the government, refused to re-
ply, whereupon DR.. Herrera Y Obes present
ed a motion demanding the resignation of
the President of the republic ad interim.
1t is said that If this motion is adopted
by the deputies Senior Ceustas will dissolve
the chambers. All sorts of rumcrs are
afioat, many citizens have closed their
houses and the troops are held in readiness
against outbreak.
The report that DIR. Herrera y Obes has
been wounded with a revolver is denied but
a dissolution of the Chamber of Deputies
appears inevitable.

CYNTHIANA, KY, Nov. 1s.-This, the
third day of the national foxhound trials,
was a sort of dress parade day for the
crowd. In the first place, there was no at
tempt at an early start the hounds not
leaving town until nearly O'clock. A
crowd of almost five hundred men and
women on horseback gathered at the meet.
which was about four miles north of town.
1t was a beautiful morning and hunting
conditions were good. When the forty-two
all-age hounds were cast off in open
country, two ran riot and demoralized the
pack. After few minutes they were got
together and steaded then move was
made to the Licking river, about half
mile away In the woods along the river,
a fox was soon started. After following the
river a short distance it doubled back, ran
along the wooded bank for about mile
and then turned up the hill and across the
open country, where it made a couple of
short circuits and succeeded in throwing
the hounds off. The loss was due to the
wild rushes of the horsemen as much as to
anything else. They crowded the pack,
rode over the scent and practically spoiled
their own sport and any prospect OF trying
the hounds in a good run.
