land for Cape Town last week, tells a
seemingly probable story about the es-
cape from this country of James Durham,
who murdered the McGlincys near San
Jose Cal, on the 9th OF last May.
Green says that in April and May he
worked on the ranch OF Bernard Murphy
near San Jose, and during a part of that
time Durham was a fellow-laborer with
him on the ranch. At the end of May
Green went to San Francisco and stopped
at Peter McManus' clearinghouse, but
shipped on June 5 as second officer of the
American ship ST. John, with a full cargo
of wheat and -four for New York. When
seven days out, while the vessel was off
the Mexican coast, stowaway showed up
on deck and Green recognized him as
Durham.
Durham appealed to Green not to
reveal his identity, to call him Brown and
treat him well and gave the officer $50 in
gold. At the mates request the stowaway
was assigned TO his watch and put to work

ham went ashore together and near the
wharf met an officer of the fiIibustering
ship Bermuda. This greatly pleased Dun
ham and he at once made arrangements
TO so to Cuba. The vessel left port the
next day and Durham went with it.
Green claims that was the last he saw of
the murderer, whom he did not then know
to he murderer. In explanation of his
Ignorance of the McClincy massacre Green
says he seldom looks at newspaper,
being addicted to noveI-readIng to such a
degree that all his spare time is thus en-
pIoyed. Durham at first supposed that
Green knew why he was travelling as a
stowaway and talked to him about the
murder, but when he found that the mate
had heard nothing about the affair he
turned it eff as joke and said he was
making the trip for the sake of adventure.
In New York, Green says, he happened
to run across an old advertisement for
Durham, and then he looked up a news
paper file in a waterfront saloon and
learned all about the matter. He went

UNDER SENTENCE OF DEATH

Doomed to Due In Cuba.

American Newspaper Correspondent
Doomed to Due in Cuba.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 6.-An afi-
davit was left with Secretary Olney yester-
day morning signed by Marina Elena Del
gado Green, sister of Henry Delgado, said
TO be dying in a Cuban prison. The charge
has been made that Harry Delgado is a
Cuban and identical with Ricardo Del
gado, an insurgent officer.
The affidavit declares that Harry Del
gado was born in Brooklyn in 1865. lived
there seven years and was educated in
New York. He was twice purser of the
Ward line of steamers and in about 1890
he was married in Hudson, N. Y, to Miss
Sophie Granger.
He was then engaged in the brewery
business, but in the last year Joined the
staff of a New York paper, and few
months ago went to Cuba as correspond
emf.
The affidavit states that Ricardo Del
gado is an entirely different person, a
Cuban by birth, although a cousin OF
Harry Delgado, and an artillery officer in
the Cuban army

overland to San Francisco, and thence
Immediately to Portland.
Durham professed to be wholly un-
skilled in the work of sailor, but Green
says that could hardly have been true, for
the third time he was sent up he could
furl a royal or topgallant sail as well as
anybody. He was regarded as the most
reliable lookout on the ship. He was act
i've and quick 10 learn. and made an excel
lent sailor.
Green represents himself as graduate
of the University of Virginia, class of '66,
and MS writing and language do not con-
tradict the claim. He says he has fol-
lowed the sea off and on for more than
four years, mostly on the Pacific, and his
weather-worn appearance bears out the
assertion. He is now % years old. His
parents, he says, live in San Francisco, his
father being in the drug business. He
swears his story is true, and there is no
way either to prove or disproye it here.
Green left for San Francisco tonight.

pitiable case of dethroned reason was pre-
sented here to-day, when o. Ellison, a
survivor of the British ship Golden Horn,
that was wrecked off Santa Rosa Island
five years ago, was by the court ordered
to be sent to the Highland Asylum for
the insane. Ellison was ships carpenter
on the ili-fated vessel. and like others of
the crew, remained in Santa Barbara
after the wreck and rescue. He worked
at his trade occasionally and built few
private yachts for residents of this city
and Monticello. The shock of the wreck
proved upon his mind so that at times he
would be respondent and again act as if
trying to rescue some drowning comrade.
Finally his brother and friends. fearing
that he might become raving maniac,
bro ught about his commitment TO the
asylum.

DUBOIS LEADS IN IDAHO.
His Return to the Senate Made fracti-

Fusfo1ists.

SALT LAKE, UTAH. Jan. 6.-The Popu-
list contingent of the Idaho Legislature
threatens to Illustrate the plans of the DEM
ocrats to elect their United States Senator
by either scattering its votes among can
didates who have no chance, and thus
preventing any election, or by voting for
Dubois, the silver Republican.
The Dubois supporters appear to hold
the balance of power, and unless the
quarrel between the Democrats and Popu-
lists is made up the election of Du Bots is
considered exceedingly probable.
Ii the fusionists do come together again,
to either johnson, Democrat, or Claggett,
Populist, but at this time Dubois is
thouht to have the best chance of any of
the candidates.
