authorities for permission to use the I'M

tute the overhead trolley for the cable on

Four ConviCtS ESCAPED.

New York, June ia dispatch to the
Journal and Advertiser from Kingston,
Jamaica, says: A few days ago a little
boat containing our men rowed up the
mouth of the Essequibo river in British
Guiana from the open sea. The men had
been buffeted about at sea for three days
and nights without food or water, exposed
to the fierce rays of the tropical un. They
We're reduced by the terrible privations
they had undergone. The four men were
French convicts who escaped from the
penal settlement at st. Jean in Maroni,
Cayenne, off what is called Devils is
land, where Dreyfus was confined. 1t APP
pears that they eluded the guard. stole the
prison canoe. got together a little food
and water and put to sea. The food and
water were washed overheard, but the
men preferred the ligors of hunger and
thirst to the penal settlement. They got
to New Amsterdam, Dutch Guiana, which
they reached after perilous adventures
and much suffering. The oldest fugitive
is a Boulangor adherent, eXiled seven
years ago by President Garnet for politi-
cal reasons. He was a professor of rhet-
oric at Paris. His companions are an art
list, an optioian and a landed proprietor,
all of whom were once in good position.
Their ages range from 81 down to q
years. The Guianans have not arrested
the men and they will not be sent back to
Cayenne. Formerly the French prison au-
thorities used to send descriptions of es-
capped prisoners to t he ~neighboring colo
mics and demand their return. This prac-
tice has been abandoned in recent years.
The four escaped convicts have gone into
the interior to search for work.
