MISS clsNERos ESCAPED.
The Plucky Little Cuban Girl Bids Her
Jailers Good Bye.


The PIucky Little Cuban Girl Bids Her
Jailers Good Bye,
q Havana, October 1.-THE beautiful lit
tie Cuban patriot, Senorita Evangelina
Cossioy Cisneros, heroine of the sensation
al adventure with the Spanish governor
of the Isles of Pines, escaped last night
from the Casa de Recogidas t( House of
Scrapings), wheres she has been confined
for several months on charge of conspi-
racy against the crown of Spain and of
an attempt on the life of Gov. Berez, gov
ernor of the Isle of Pines.
According to the statements of the jail
ers or attendants, :, she made her escape
some time last night. At this morning IS
roll call she was missing and when search
was made for her, the attendants found
that one of the iron bars of the room in
which she had been confined had been
filed and bent outward. The bar could
not have been moved except by a great
outlay of strength, and all the circum-
stances go to prove the cooperation of
outsiders in her escape.
The authorities have not yet secured
any clue as to the whereabouts Of the girl
Several OF the employees of the establish
ment have been arrested.
The fate of Senorita Evangelina Cisne-
ros has excited the interest and sympathy
of all Cuban sympathizers in this coun-
try. This feeling has been all the more
acute because of the report widely circu-
lated some time ago that if found guilty
of the charges plsferred against her, her
sentence would be banishment to the
Spanish penal colony, although the Span
ish authorities have expressly disavowed
ever intending to inflict this penalty.

THE PENALTY DEATH.
Eleven Men Arrested in Kentucky for
a Horrible Crime.

Cincinnati. o., October 7.-An angry
crowd gathered about the court house
and Jail in Newport, KY, today, upon
the announcement of most shocking
assault by eleven men upon the young
wife of switchman recently married
The sheriff was obliged to clear the cor
ridors, and threats of vengeance were
made.
Thomas Gleason and his wife started
out on the Alexandria pike to visit q
friend last night, when two men with
revolvers, and representing themselves to
be officers, separated husband and wife
and dragged the shrieking woman into a
field, where eleven men assaulted her.
The penalty for this crime in Kentucky
is death.
Today Mrs. Gleason positively identi-
fed ten of the men and they were ar
rested. Judge Helm will call a special
grand jury to consider the case.
When the time came for the removal of
the prisoners to the Chesapeake and Ohio
depot to take the train for Maysvtlle,
there was such menacing crowd about
the jail that sheriff called out the entire
police force to preserve order. 1t was with
difficulty that the men were taken to the
two wagons which conveyed them to the
depot and the crowd followed close after
At the depot and before the train arrived
the situation grew more threatening. The
police finally had to charge the yelling
crowd to prevent rush at the prisoners.
Fortunately the train soon came. The
prisoners are aged from 10 to so, mostly
without employment. Two or three are
peddlars and all are known to the police
as gang going together and often found
drunk and disorderly.
Their names are Meiner, Greer, Miller,
Hending. Bushmiller (Frank) Harry
Bushmiller, Shannon. Heiner, Duhfoss
and Schorte. The one last arrested and
who is still in jail awaiting Identification
is VIM. Croxton. He will be brought be-
fore Mrs Gleason tonight. The other
ten were recognized by Mrs. Gleason in
the crowded court room. The men ex-
hibited the most reckless bravado. one Or
two being drunk while in the court room.
They used vile language and Adisplayed
total Indifference and unconceFn.

W. Va, says: Up to this time twenty
seven witnesses have been examined here
by the prosecution in the Atkinson forge
ry trial in progress here. A dramatic
incident in the trial was the introduction
of John Norris, blind man. Norris
stated that he was neighbor and friend
of Owens, who is jointly indicted with
Mrs. Atkinson, that in q conversation
had with him some time after Judge
Camden's death, Owens stated hs had
kinson and had fully adjusted his land
matters and received from Mrs. Camden
a receipt for $40 more than the price for
the land. The witness was followed by
others who related conversations with
Owens in which some statements wera
made. The receipts mentioned are 1he
ones alleged to have been forged by Mrs.
Atkinson and used by Owens.

MUST WAIT UNTIL MARCH.
New Cuban Policy Cannot Do Settled
Until Then.
CORTES WILL NOT CONVENE UNTIL
THAT MONTH.

Feared That Long Delay VIII Give Rise to
Observation-Disclosures OF Policy May
Avert Trouble-Yar Has Not Injured
spain's Trade Greatly.
Washington, Octobera7. The State De-
partment has not yet been officially in
formed of the purpose of the Spanish gov
ernment to dissolve the Cortes in Decem-
ber as indicated in the Madrid cablegram.
1t was expected, however, that it would
be found necessary for the cabinet to go
to the country in order to secure the sup
port of a majority for the Liberal policy
towards Cuba, inasmuch as the present
Cortes has a clear Conservative majority
whenever that party's elements can be
brought together.
Disappointment Is felt at the remote
date set for the convening of the new
Cortes, for it is presumed that any new
programme for the settlement of Cuban
affairs must be ratified by the courts, sand
If this is not to meet until next March,
the long delay, it is feared, will give rise
to irritation and perhaps be beyond the
powers of endurance Of the present ad-
ministration.
1t is possible, however, that prompt
declaration of policy towards Cuba,
couched in such terms and made public
in such fashion as to bind the govern
ment beyond doubt that the delay will
not be serious in results.

steam tonnage amounts to 2,358, ,553 tons;
sail tonnage, including barges and canal
boats, 2, ,410, 402 tons. Construction thus

decade has been almost wholly attributa-
bic to growth on the great lakes. In 1877

mented on the Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf

MICHAEL THE WONDER.
Little Welshman Lowers One Mile
Paced Record.
COVERS THE DISTANCE IN ONE
MINUTE, SO SECONDS.
This els Seconds, Lower Than the
Record Made by McDufi1ee-Timc
Made Upon the Second Trial.

Made Upon the Second Trial.
Philadelphia, October Jimmy Mich
ael the little Welsh wheelman, on the
Willow Grove track today, Clipped 5
seconds from the best American record
for one mile paced. The record was
1.3S Is, made by Eddie McDuffie of Bos-
ton, about six weeks ago on the Charles
River track at Boston. Michaels's time
today was 1.36. The fastest time for
one mile was made by j. S. Stocks in
England about a month ago, when he
covered the distance in 1.35 rs. Stocks
was paced by motor cycles and his time
was not recognized by the L. A. W. on
account ofthe character of the pace
maker.
Michael was paced by q .sextette and a
quad and established the record after one
trial in which he equalled the track rec
ord of 1.5s 49, made by Arthur Gardner
on the occasion of the national l.. A.
". meet of last August.
The first trial came off at $50 O'Clock
Not breath of air was stirring and the
track was in splendid condition. The
sextette had as mounts Weining, Davis
Mayo, Miller, Scott and Newhouse. With
the little fellow in their rear they
scorched around the track several times,
came away i'll the stretch at a, dash, and
the pistol cracked just as Michael crossed
the tape. The Welshman held fast to the
sextette and was making ready to pick
up the quad when the latter's chain
broke. He caught the sextette again and
held close for the mile, crossing in
1.SS 4-5.
A brief rest followed and the second
trial was made. The line was crossed
on the start at splendid pace and on the
quarter the remarkably fast time of 20 3-5
was announced; the third was covered in
81 1-5, and the half in AZ 3-5. Here the
little demon made splendid pickup of
the quad mounted by johnson, Pierce,
Leonard and Walsh The four kept rat
tling good pace which Michael showed
his ability to hold by calling to them to
go faster. The two-thirds was passed
in 1.O4 2-5, the three-quarters in 1.l2 1-5,
and with the PAGERS and racer straining
every nerve, and the 1000 spectators cheer
ing, Michael crossed the finish line just
23 4-5 seconds later.
