THE White Star steamer 'Adriatic,"
which arrived at New York last Friday,
had a most tempestuous voyage. Heavy
gales and tremendous seas were met with
almost all the way across. Three topsails
that wers set to steady the steamer were
blown from the bolt ropes, and two life
boats were swept from their davits by seas
that boarded the vessel. The steering gear
became disabled, and it was some time be-
fore it could be repaired In the meantime
the steamer was beyond control. She
preached to and did some fearful rolling
when she got in the trough of the sea.
While in this position she shipped much
water; a considerable quantity OF which
went down the companionway. flooding the
cabins and adding to the discomfort of the
passengers. For several days the passen-
gers did not venture on deck. A few OF
them sustained slight injuries by being
while the steamer was pitching and rolling
heavily.

Mrs. Larison's Serious Charge Agains
Rev. c. w. Mott.

Mrs. Larison's Serious Charge Against
Rev. c. w. Mott.
Flemington, NJ J., Oct. 12.-The trial
of Rev Charles w. Mott, of Philadel-
phia, formerly pastor of the Baptist
churches of Stockton and Sandy Ridge
and who was indicted for alleged at
tempted criminal assault on Mrs. An
drew Larison, of Stockton, was be-
gun yesterday. Mr.. Mott is so years
old, and a veteran of the civil war. On
the night of the alleged attempt the
minister was in Stockton, and had been
invited by Andrew B. Larson, one of
the members of the church there, to
remain at his home over night. During
the evening a neighboring building
took fire and Larison went to the fire.
1t was during his absence that the al
legged assault took place.
Mr.. Larson testified that he was
absent from the house perhaps ten
minutes When he reached the gate
on his return he heard his wife scream
and ran into the house. Mrs. Larson
testified that after her husband start
ed for the fire Mr.. Mott called her to
come to a window where he was stand
ing and from which the fire could be
SEEN When she reached the window
he threw his arms about her and tried
to force her into his apartment.
Rev Mr.. Mott, on his own behalf,
testified that Mrs. Larson came to the
window where he was sitting and put
her arms about his neck and asked his
protection. She was greatly excited
because Of the fire. Later she became
hystrical, and he had TO support her
to prevent her falling.

MISS CISNEROS SAFE
The Young Cuban Refugee Now in
New York City.
sPANIARDs CANNOT GET HER,

Even Should They Desire Her Extra
ditIon There Is Nothing In Existing
Treaties That Would warrant Our
Government In surrenderIng Her.
Washington. oct. 12.-Opinion differs
as to what complications are liable to
arise between the United States and
Spain as a consequence of the escape
of Senorita Cisneros from the Spanish
prison in Cuba, through the efforts Of
the New York Journals correspondent
In Havana. While the general impress
sion is that Spain might make a great
deal of trouble about the matter, the
opinion of many is that the new min
istry will be glad to get rid of pris-
oner they did not know what to do
with, and will not call the attention of
this government to the matter. This
will depend much upon whether or
not Spain is looking for a cause Of
complaint that will technically put
this government in the wrong.
AS a political prisoner Senorita Cis-
neros would be exempt from extradi-
tion, and, therefore, If extradition is
demanded by Spain 1t will be based on
the claim that she was a prisoner Of
war, and the complaint will be a con-
spiracy in this country to lIberate
Spanish prisoners of war. This would
not be tenable, for the reason that
Spain does not officially admit that a
state of war exists in Cuba.
The prosecution of Mr. Hearst and his
correspondent by this government may
be demanded by Spain, and she may
recall her minister from this country
If satisfaction is not given, but such
a demand would be made with the
practical certainty that it would not
be complied with and would be made
only with the intention of bringing
about a severance of relations between
the two countries.
State department officials make light
Of the prospect of any international
trouble following the escape of Miss
Cisneros. They say that presuming
that the girl and her rescuer have
reached the United States, they can
not be surrendered even If claimed by
the Spanish authorities.
AS far as concerns Miss Cisneros, She
being a political refugee, cannot under
our organic law be surrendered, and
there is no clause in the Spanish extra
dition treaty that would serve as a
basis for a claim for her surrender.
The circumstances under which she
may have reached the United States
cannot affect the force of this doctrine.

Dragging Private by the Heels Not

Chicago. Oct. 12.-Charles Hammond,
the private who was dragged by a
rope tied to his feet from the guard
house at Fort Sheridan to headquar-
ters Of the post, began yesterday noon
to serve a IA day sentence of solitary
confinement with bread and water diet.
This decision Of the summary court at
Fort Sheridan deals alone with Ham
mond's refusal TO work as a prisoner.
The finding was returned by Lieuten-
ant Colonel cambridge, who was sit
ting during the sessions. and was yes
terday approved by Colonel Robert II.
Hall, the commanding officer Of the
post.
Captain Levering, the officer whose
treatment Of the rebellious private has
created such a storm Of discussion i'm
civic and army circles alike, will un-
dergo no investigation. Colonel Hall as
serts that his subordinate only obeyed
instructions as a soldier; that his treat
ment of the prisoner. Hammond. was
wholly excusable under the circum-
stances. and that he would in no wise
censure the captain.
The whole affair will now probably
be reviewed by the general court mar
tial. which will be assembled at the
instance of General Brooke. department
commander. Colonel Hall has for
warded to the latter official a statement
Of the case, and further charging Ham
mond with disobeying orders.
