THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 15, 1897. ] -JUNTA . RESCUED CISNERDS Mr. Hearst’'s Journal Had Nothing to Do With It. STORY TOLD BY THE RESCUER. Sent to Havana by the Cuban Leaders at New York. TO SAVE THE GIRL FROM WEYLER. Karl Decker Tells How He Broke J# Down the Bars of the Awful Prison. NEW YORK, N.Y., Oct. 14.—Charles Duval Decker, the man who rescued Evangelina Cisneros arrived here late yes- terdsy efternoon on the steamer Panama, which ed from Havana on Sunday. It is as Charles Duval the American public knows this newspaper man who took the poor girl from under Weyler's nose and set the world talking. He looks the rescuer every inch. The tug Atwood met the Panama down the bay aud then on!y did the officers of the ship realize who their quiet passenger was. He was heartily cheered as he de- scended the gangplank and boarded the tug at the quarantine, Decker is good looking. A sculptor might have picked him for a model for Hercules had not the Cuban Junta chosen him to go to th war-ridden island and rescue Evangelina Cisneros from a Span- h dungeon. He 1s tall—perhaps 6 feet— and looks the athiete. Smiling gray eyes meet his questicners; blonde hair and a long istache frame a kindly face. As be stepped aboard the tug his frierds set up a cheer. Decker took off his golf cap and yelled, pr:ing the big cigar he was smoking. He wore a light gray coat, waistcoat and dark trousers. In his hand le carried some fine Havanas done up in brown papers, and in a twinkling he was surrounded by a group of enthusiastic friends. “There was tne deuce to pay,” he laughed. “Tne Spanish authorities were in a fearful stew over Miss Cisneros’ es- We managed to get her away on I followed her While I warted I did not try to Weyler could have found me any vana at the Hotel Angleterre. ) authorities had their suspi- cions of me, bui they conld not pin them down.

I was determined to 1@ that voor girl. But for the life of me, I dia not know how it was to be dor After 1 got to Havana several schemes presented themseives to me, but ali were Imprac- ticable. First I tried to bribe the alcaide or jailer—this fellow Quintin—but he wanted $15,060 for the job and assurance | that he and his famiiy could get to the | United States in safeiy. That was tog | much of a proposition for me. “Labo ersand longshorémen and people of the Jower class live around Recojidus, At one coraer of the prison was a one- siory shanty. This struck me as a good | base of operations. I kept jollying u,e} jailer along for fear he would tell how I'd | tried 1o bribe him, but he biv at the bait | long enough. “There were five of usin the scaeme to | rescue the girl. I won’t mention their names, for 1the other four are stil! living at Havana,and it might mean death for them. I'wo are nat ve- born Americans. [wo are naturalized. Miss Cisneros was in the second story of | tie jail and we determined to eut the bars and release her. A note was writlten to Migss Cisneros in English and given to a wgman who caled on one of theother pfgsoners. Asnoune of the inmates of the p@eon coutd read Eaglisr, and very few cowia read Spanish even, it was a safe provosition. “The note informed Miss Cisneros that she shon'd be prepared on Tuesday night, October 5. We went into the cabin and yed cards for matches for three days bEfore we attempted to put our plan into executlon. As the military police are constanily on the lookout we could not play cards for money. No gambling is al- lowed. “*Well, it was our luck to have a bright moon on Tuesday night, as well as the { heaven?” glare of an old-fashioned street lamp lh-t! was fastened to the house next to ours. However, no one from the street could see us while on the roof on account of the narrowness of the street and the shadows of the building. Around the Recojidas is a tall wall, on which is sprinkled broken glass. We climbed upon the roof of our shauty through a hatchway, drew up the jadder and placed it diagonaily across on the roof to the first story of the pri-on. In this way we avoided the wall wi'h broken glass on top. We were in our stceking feet. The sawing of the bar made a horrible noise. The people in the shanty next door to us began to stir about, and we desisted. We spoke en- couragingly to Miss Cisneros, and told her to wait until the next night. *‘On Wednesday nigziit we succeeded in breaking the bar:. We made Miss Cis- neros take off her shoes. She objected to this at first, and when she came to the ladder she hesitaied, but, firmly setting her moutb, she walked across. The rungs of the tadder were flat, so it was easy to walk on them. _*“*Assoon he was on the roof of our shantv we took her down the hatchway, waited a few moments and then took her 10 a carriage, a sort of victoria common in Havana, and drove to the house of a fr.end. The friend was holding a recev- tlon tnat night, which was part of the bioff. The man who drove the carriage Wes one of the conspirators. “From the time she issued from her prison to the time she was teken to tae home of her friend she showed none of the feminine apprehension so apt to be found in women. Whenshe looked at the frail ladder she uttered something ia | Spanish, which meant ‘I have goue so far and will dare anythiug’ She was ex- bausted with excitement when she reached the ploce of secrecy and saiety, but she did not give way. 7 “It wason Thursday morning that Miss Cisneros was taken to the home cf a friend. She rem:ined in secrecy unul Saturday afternoon. Now here comes the point where were required nerve and sef- possession on the parioftbelittle woman. Clad in the vestments of a ranchero she, according to the plan, must walk down Obispo streei, the principal thoroughfare of Havana, at a time when the sireet way crowded, and at the same time take her time and smoke a cigar. This was another part of the game of piuff. If she had skulked about the back streets she would immediately have been suspecied. It was over a mile from the house to ! the pier. She had a passport made out under an a:sumed name. Miss Cisneros walked down from the house and we lowed behind. She sauntered along le urely and onc» in a while turned about to see if we were foilowing. We motioned her togo on. She grew more confident as she went along, but we could see she was under a strain. She got on the laanch and we waited, and when the launch re- | turned from the vessel and she was not on it we knew the scheme had workea like a charm, that the game of b.uff had been a success. We teparitea and were not seen together atterward. “Next day the whole town was astir over the escape of Miss Cisneros. .A house- to-house search was begun and wonld | have been kept up had not a telezram from Minister Duruy de Lome at Wash- ington iniormed Weyler that the girl was on'the bigu seas and expected any day at New York “Then Weyler was mad. He threw the jailer, Jose Quintin, into juil, and then the jailer told about my attempting to bribe him. This, in connection with the sur- m:se of De Lome, placed suspicion on me. “The Spanish authorities never thought | for one moment that 1 would take the Spanish steamer. Nearly all Americans | take the American line. 1hey dia not| think to gaard the Panama and watch for me. They arrest all prisoners at 5 o'clock | in the morning, for some reason or other. They were dead sure I would be in town on Monday and were fooled. “On the voyage over the pessengers dis- cussed Cisneros’ escape. 1 kept aloof from them and heard their comments. At first they thought the fugitive should | be returned, but as they neared New York they expressed gratification over the escape of Miss Cisneros, because they dis- liked Weyler so, Not until the tug came along did they realize that | was in some way connected with the affair, and they took it as a great joke. | “I will say 1 had some apprehensions abeut Miss Cisneros carrying out her part of the bluff, but all the way through she acted with firmness and courage that was remarkable. She is the first woman, I b:- lieve, ever brought out of Recojidas prison.’ Poor little Evangelina Cisneros awoke this morning at the Waldorf, gazed at the ceiling, where pids sported among roses, and asked, “Where am 1?” * it tut when she arose the fittle maid showed the eifects of her sufferings. The excitement of landing, the sight of new faces and new places, warm hand- clasps of many friends all had buoyed her up. But now the reaction had come. Evangelina was real y indisposed. She spent most of the day on her couch, rising only for a modest Cuban breakfast of cof- fee and rolls, and the more substantial breakiast of chicken and rice later. “Lam tirea,” was all she said to warm- | hearted friends who tried to cheer her. “Butit seems hke home once more,” she | added, taking her coffee cup from a silver tray aca bolding it to her lips. *‘Every onéissokind 0 me. 1 wani to tell you, my friends, how happy I am. Oh, whata change tbis 1s from that awful cell.” Many Cutans sent up their cards yes- terday, but Miss Cisneros saw but one, General Jutio Sangutlly, her father's life- long friex He had known Senor Cis. neros since Evargelina was a child of five, To him she spoke fieely of her hopes and of her experiences. Henry George, Charles W. Dayton and Tomwm Jobnson also dropped in for & mo- ment. The litue girl suook bhands all around. AMiss Cisneros was too weak to leave her roon. Sie will go for adrive to-morrow, however. J. Elien Foster of the National Association of Cubans, who is apeconing her, went shopping yester- day 1n her bebalf. To-duy Evangelina will apvear radiant in a new autumn gown, with all the dainty accessories so dear to a girl. By Saturday night Miss Cisneros’ friends hope to have her well and able to appear at the public demon- stration. A committee from the Cuban Junta, cousisting of Rafael Navarro, Enrique Trujillo, Eduardo Garcia ana Julic de Leon, have engaged 1wo floors at Del- monico’s, and there Miss Cisneros will meet her friends. Among those who will be present are: Chauncey M. Depew, Rovert G. Ingersoll, Thomas C. Platt, Bourke Cockran, Murat Halsted, Robert A. Van Wyck, General Beujamin F. Trecy, Henry George and Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton. Speeches of welcome will be made in Madison square, where preparations have been made for a great crowd. Miss Cisneros will appear on -the balcony of Delmonico’s in the faded red gown which she wore when she escaped from Weyler’'s prison.

COLONEL SCHARF SO DECLARES. Now Tenders His Resignation Because of Constant Warfare. FEDERAL OFFICERS ARE ACCUSED. Some of Them Sald to Have Ac- cepted Bribes in Connection With Admitting Chlnese. Special Dispatch to THE CALL. NEW YORK, N. Y., Oct. 14.—Colonel J. Thomas Schar!, who was appointea to the position of Chinese Inspector for the Soutliern District of New York in 1893, and who forwaried his resignation to the Secretary of the Treasury to take effect to-morrow, admits that he is influenced by the constant warfare he has had in ad- ministing the duties of his office, and he | expresses the opinion that the Chinese exclusion act as at present carried out is a farce. Colonel Scharf was an officer of the Confederate army. Immediately after he came to this city he preferred charges azainst Custom-house officers, accusingz them of a ssisting in the smugghug of Chinese into this country from Cuba. Many charges have also bzen made against him, but he has in every instance vindicated himself. He was sent to the Atlanta Exposition to make a Chiuese investigstion in 1895, but in November of last year was sent back to this district. Because of the war in Cuba a few Chinese arrived here by that route, most of them coming over the Canadian Pacific Railroad and crossing the border at Malone, N. Y. Soon after his return to ihis district Colonel Scharf made charges against certain Custom- nouse officers at Malone, accusing them of being in co'lusion with officials of the Canadian Pacitic Railioad to pass China- men not entitled to enter the country. These charges were partiy susiained. In September last Colonel Scharf ar- rested at the Grand Central station eleven Chinamen who hud been passed by Chinese inspectors at Malone. Previounsly he had detained a party of fifty, and out of these selected twe!ve Cbinamen and rrested and teken to the Federal building. All these pris- oners were arraigned before United dtates Commissioner Alexander. All of the pariy of eleven wers discharged, and of ihe parly of thirteen seven were heid for deportation, but only three thus far bave been sent back, the Chinese companies here having procured writs of hab.as corpus in the ca-e; of the others. Colonel Schar{ to-day sa gress as-embles and appoinis a committee 1o investigate irregularities in the admin- istration of Chinese laws I shall place be- fore 1t all the facts obtained by me during my administration of this office. I know from my own investigaiions that men ure now bolding otuce who ure engaged inthe irregular admission of Chinese. I have been informed, further, that some of them have accepted bribes.”” LUBIN AND ROSSELL 10 MEER IN DEBATE Doctrine That Bounties Should Be Paid on Agricultural Exports. The Californian Said to Be Con- ducting His Mission With Con- sistency and Intelligenca. Special Dispatch 10 THE CALL EOSTON, Mass, Oct. 14.—The Tran- script says to-n t editorially: *“Upon Saturday evening following the State clection a debate which ought to excite some interest is to occur at the United States Hotel, between David Lubin of California and Hon. John E. Russell of | Massachusetts. “Mr. Russell will appear as the repre- sentative of the Free-trade League, which will be tke particular b>dy interested in the debate, and Mr. Lubin will exploit bis doctrine that bounties should be paid on agricultural exports, since they receive no benefit from duties on imports. Mr. Lubin is a logical protectionist. He comes from California, a State which we have recently shown was also logical in protect- ing her own indu-tries to the utmost against the competition of other States. “The mission whico Mr. Lubin has un- dertaken he has pushed with great en- ergy, consistency and intelligence. It is not probable that -speedy success will crown his efforts. High proiection with the mask torn off. as it has been during the scuffie of contending beneficiaries of the Dingley bil!, is no more attractive to many who champion the doctrine in the absiract than it is to their opponent, and while Mr. Luvin’s idea of supplementary protection for farmers is logical, it is also drastic.” SALE e OF HaAGGI''S YEARLINGS.

Haggin’s Rancho del Paso yearlings was bexvn in the sales pad- dock at Morris Park shortly before racing began to-day.

Y., Oct. 15.—The Herald this morninz says: Information that reached New York by way of bank- ing circles and Washington through diplomatic connections, is that the Queen of Spain and Premier Ssgasta, while their policy at first will bs | to delay matters so as to satisfy public sentiment in Spain, intend to yield as gracefully as possible, consistent with Spanish pride and honor, and grant Cuba virtually all that she asks. This course will not be from choice, ac- cording to the information received in New York, but because there is no other way out of it. Benor Sagasta has prom- ised President McKinley an answer by October 25 and the President will then frame Lis message to Congress accoru- ingly. It is not unlikely the President will convey another message to Spain in the meantime, or he will take steps recogniz- ing the balli erency of Cuba, The President is understood to be par- tial to the granting of freedom to Cuba upon payment of an indemnily of, say $150.000,000 as partial recompense to Spain for the surrender of sovereiznt, GOVERNOR ATKINSON DEFENDS HIS WIFE Says Her Prosecution Is Ac- tuated by Malice and Hatred. Charges of Forgery Growing Out of the Demands of Anony- mous Blackmallers. Special Dispatch to THE CACL. | GLENVILLE, W. Va., Oct. 14.—Gov- ernor Atkinson, who has hitherto re- mained silent about the trial of his wife, | has made a statement, of which the follow- ing are the principal points: I have hitherto said nothing for publication in this case, except to mercly state ihat I knew the prosecution was actuated by malice and hatred. It is a family quarrel, and tne | public knows that they are the most bitter | disputes. I have heard every seatence of tae testimony given in the case. Independent of the law, whice, in my judg- ment, does not class this case as a probabie forgery, and indevendent aiso of the fact that in my opinion it was an error to admit_tesu- | mony on other matters which eannot be di- | rectly connected with the crime set out in the | iudictment, [ am ciearly ot the opinion that several witiesses and, indeed, those who gave ail the resl testimony upon which the case hinged had been induced to lestify for a con- sideration. The evidence brought out in this trial also shows tha: Mrs. Atkinson, prior to her ma: riage to Judge Camden, received an anon: mous letter warning her not to marry Cam- den; thetat the time the will 5i Judge Cam- den ‘was about to be probated various other letters were written to uer, threatening news- | paper publication ualess a iarge sum of money was p that, prior (0 her marriage to me, another anonymous letler was sent to her, threatening ber with other troubles, includiog uewspaper publications. The demnnds made in these anonymous blac mailing letters were not acceded to nor com- wiled with, and the result was the vilest of vile publications againsc her iu the news- papers. Camden Somers, the prosecuting wit- ness, made this statement for publication: 1 have 1.0 comments to make concerning the merits of the case beyoud my former siate- ment regarding the matter prior to tue triai, whereby unscrupulous counsel and the wit. nesses for the de.ense tortured, twisted and lied sbout me.

Y., Oct. 14.—A special to the Herald from San Jose de Guatemala says: The outbreak in the Eastern De- partments, which, it was first thought, would be speedily suppressed, proved to be of a far more serious nature than the one iust put down in the west headed by General Prospero Morales, Daniel Fuentes and Manuel Sauchez, who was killed. The other leaders, after their flight from Quezaltenango, went toward the Mexican border, where, 1t is reported, they dis- banded their men. The eastern approach to the city of Gua- | temala is being fortitied. President Bar- rios stated yesterday that he thought he would be able to bring the reoellionto an end within ten days. —_— HOT WAVE IN THE EAST. In Various Cities the Tempergture Became Quite Cppressive, Chicago Being No Exception. CHICAGO, Iun, Oct. 14.—A hot wave of unusual severity is reported through- out the West and Northiwest, Omaha had the most uncomfortable temperature to- the mercury climbinz to 90 in the shade, which is a record for the month of October. Dubuque, Iowa, also came to ine front with a demolished record, the thermometer there showing 86 in the shade—the warmest ever known at this time of the year at tnat point. Chicago came near 1o its Lot record for October with a temperaiure of 88 in the weather offices, which is 90 on the street level. One day long ago the mercury reached 91, and that is the record. Thie coolest place in the reach of the weather man’s eye was Calgary, in the Northwest Territory, where it was, he ‘said, 18 above zero. UASTS HER ANCHOR AT THE YARD Return of the Cruiser Philadelphia From Honolulu. WILL SOON GO OuUT OF COMMISSION. Her Crew Will Probably Be Transferred to the Baltimore. ALL WAS QUIET AT THE ISLANDS. The Bennington Made the Tem- porary Flagship of Admlral Miller. Special Dispatch to THE CALL. VALLEJOQ, CAL.,, Oct. 14.—The cruiser Poiladeiphia steamed up to the yard at 3:30 this afternoon and Captain Dyer ran | her alongside the wharf ahead of the Baltimore with as much ease as though she had been a tugboat. As soon as the vessel made fast the captain reported his arrival to Admiral Kirkland. Itis expected that the Philadelphia will £0 out of commission within the next ten days and the crew and most of the officers will be transterred to the Baltimore. This ship is now ready to sail at a day’s notice. Coal has been sent aboard from lighters for the past three or four days. The pro- visions are about all ip and within a day or two ammunition will be stowed away in the magazines. The officers on the cruiser say that everything was quiet on the islands. Be- fore the Philadelphia left Admiral Miller tran-ferred his flag to the Bennington, and, as there was no accommodation for him oa the gunboat, he and his staff took up their quarters at the Hawaiian Hotel. The arrival of the Baltimore will give the admiral another flagship. The Wheeling arrived in Honolulu while the Philadelphia was there, having made the run down in nine days. No- body knew how long she was to remain at Hono.ulu and her arriv gave rise toa xreat deal of comment. The first im- pression was that she carried instructions 10 the admiral to annex the islands, but when that failed all sorts of rumors were set a-going. It took the Philadelphia nine days to | come irom Honoluiu. The barnacles are five inches thick on her bottom, and it is ! feared that many of the plates are pitted. With all her boilers going she could not make eleven knots, and the average for | the run was nine knots an hour. Tne following is a ii1st of the Philadel- phia’s officers: Captain, N. M. Dyer; lieutenant - commander, B. Briggs; lieutenants—W. P. Elliott, A. G. Winter- baulter, J. B. Blish; lieutenant (junior grade), G. W. Brown; lieutenant (junior grade), E. Cooniz; ensigns—G. Haywara and W. S. Whitted; naval cadets—D. W. Wurtsbaugh, L. C. Weiten- gel, C. M. Tozer, T. A. Kearney, A. iac- Arthur; medical inspector, J. C. Wise passed assistant surgeon, F.. A.

Sherilf Houston, Dsputy Deming, City Marshalt Eckels, District Attorney Rose, Coroner Ernest and others caught a freight at Redding as soon as the tele- graphic news was received, but did not arrive at Delta in time to be of any assist- ance except at the Coroner’s examination. Radtord, the dead D=puty Sueriff, was jaid out in the waiting-room of thedepot. The freight train was held on telegraphic orders untilafter the inquest, and the ro- mains were placed in a freightcar and ped to Yreks, where a widow and four children are awaiting the terrible home-coming. The veople of Yrekaare greatly excited, as Radford had lived among them for fourteen vears and was known as a fear- less officer and an honorable man. I'ne inquest over the body of the dead robber was held in the room in which he met his death. The room was rather neatly furnished, showing many Iutle touches of a woman's taste. There wasa carpet on the floor and the walls were covered with a heavy terra cotta paper. ‘Where the dead robber laid the carpet was saturated with blood. In the ceiling of the room was a bullet hole, made bya ball from Stewart’s eun, which went off accidentally when he struck the robber over the head. A deep red mark showed whe:e the pistol struck the forehead. Horrall’s arm was shattered horribly A baby not | where one ball struck, and on his neck Wwas a great mass of clotted blood, where | another bullet came out. In an adjoining house the wife and her | two children had taken refuge with the wife's mother. In answer to questions she said that her busband had no blood relatives that she knew of outside of his father, Thomas Horrall, a resident of Oak- land. He was bors in New York, and was 25 years old. He was stockily built ana of light complexion, Detective Thacker says he has no doubt | Horrall robbed the stage once between | Shovel Creek and Ager, and another time between Fort Jones and Yreka, in adui- | tion to the last robbery. He is thought to | i have been an old hand at the business. He was quiet and inoffensive, s’ayed at home most of the time and was not a drinking man. Sheriff Houston corroboratea Thacker's statement. Houston says he knew the robber well and would never have thought him capable of such deeds. The same impression prevailed at Delta to a certain extent. The body of the robber was put on the Orezon express to-night and brought to Redding, where the county will bury it, the wife saying that she is not able to bear the expense. Deputy Sheriff Stewart, whose courage | is in the mouth of every one, will doubt- less receive the reward, $600, for having killed the robber.
