has been sentenced to 20 wears impris-

made General Weyler, in whose hands

General Wey1er would probably have
ordered her release, but if he is put in
the position of being forced to do it, he
may insist upon her being sentenced.
The facts of the case are these: Near
~ two weeks ago, the fiscal or public
prosecutor in Cuba asked the supreme
tribunal in Spain to sentence Senorita
Cisneros to 20 years penal servitude.
Gen. Wey1er. Gen Weyler hesitates
even yet. Berris, who is the military
commander of the Isle of Pines, is now
in Havana and is doing his utmost to
free himself from blame, but strong
representations on the girls behalf
have been made to Spain and General
Weyler is undecided as to whom he
shall sacrifice

COLORED GRADUATE.
Bound to Carve Out an Honorable Ca.
reer for Herself in the Intel
1ectual World

Boston, Aug. 19.-After her four
years course in aristocratic Vassar, the
negro girl who was graduated from
that institution at the last commence
ment is bravely making her way in
the world.
With the knowledge gained during
these four years Miss Hemming is par
ticularly well equipped for her duties
in the Boston public library. She would
attract attention anywhere. Her clear
olive complexion and her straight
black hair would lead to the belief that
she is younger than her % years.
When she was seen last night at the
home of Lawyer Henry Lewis, who was
an old time Harvard center rush, she
said she deprecated the attention she
was receiving. OF her life at Vassar
she declined to talk, simply saying she
was proud to have been graduated.
She was only about year old when
her father, Robert J. Hemming, and
her mother brought her to this city
from the south. Her father and mother
are now at Marthas Vineyard, and
while their home is closed she is the
guest of her former roommate, Mrs
Lewis.
