Salonica, Feb. 26-Miss Stone and
Mime. Tsilka and baby have arrived here
well and cheerful. They received the
members of the Ang1o-American COM
munity in the railway carriage.
During the last fortnight of their cap
tivity the ladies have been travelling in
the mountains. They were hidden in the
day time and hurried along at night
blindfolded and on horseback Upon one
occasion Miss Stone was thrown to the
ground, but escaped with a badly bruis-
ed knee.
AT Strumitza the ladies have been
busily engaged in making dresses for
themselves and for the baby. When they
were found they were clad in native cos
tunes and shepherds cloaks. The baby
had no proper clothes, but was swad-
died in pieces of rough material such as
the mountaineers use for leggings. The
baby has not suffered from the vigors of
the winter.

REEVES DISCREDITED.
His Testimony to Have No Weight in
Nicely Case.

Havana, Feb. 26.-Senor Zayas began
yesterday in the trial of the Cuban
postoffice fraud cases his argun ent in
behalf of Charles w. f. Nicely. He said
he would discredit w. H. Reeves, the
former deputy auditor, and in dis
crediting him his testimony should have
no weight. The prosecutions case
rested, he said. largely on evidence
bearing the government stamp, official
reports and facts and figures furnished
by Washington, yet, in the reports of
the secretary of war and the post
master general, of receipts and eXpen-
ditures in the department of Cuba,
there was a difference of $103, 900 in ex-
penditures, and that the experts re-
ports differed from both of these. He
spoke at length on the extradition of
Nicely, and said the case was illegal
from the start. Under Spanish law, he
contended. the court had no right to
ask for the extradition of Nicely.
THE fiscal has claimed concluded
Senior Zayas, that the United States
postal code covers the case; but that
code can not annul our laws on extra
