6ENORITA C1SNEROS AND RESCUER
KARL DECKER IN NEW YORK.
Witt Her Pretty Fsoe Hidden Under a
Sombrero Brim She Fooled the Spanish
Detectives She Knit la Frejer When
She Saw America.
New Tork, Oct 15. benorlta Evange-
llna Coeio y Clsneros, who had pasBed
so many weary months In a Spanish
prison In Havana, is now safe In New
York. She arrived here Thursday morn
ing on the Ward line steamship Seneca,
after a thrilling; escape from Cuba
dressed as a man and under an assum
ed name. The young fugitive was tak
en from the steamer at quarantine, and,
after reaching this city In a tugboat,
Was taken to the Waldorf.
The way In which Benorlta Clsneros
escaped from Havana, when the steam
er sailed last Saturday, was no leas
startling than her escape from the Re
cojldaa jail In Havana three nights be
fore, when her rescue was eifected by
two reporters of the New Tork Journal,
one of whom, Karl Decker, arrived In
the city last night.
Since her sensational flight from cap
tivity until Saturday evening Senorlta
Clsneros was kept concealed some
where In Havana. All the time she was
waiting In fear and trembling, dreading
recapture, plans for her Night to this
city were being arranged.
A transportation ticket and passport
made out in the name of Mr. Juan 80
la were obtained for the girl, so that
on Saturday evening, a ehort time be
fore the Seneca weighed anchor, every
thing was ready for the venture. Dis
guised as a man. with her long black
hair concealed under a sombrero, Be
norlta Clsneros boldly boarded the ves
sel alone.
I Pasted the Spanish Detectives.
I Two Spanish detectives, stationed at
the head of the gangway ladder to
watch for fugitives, stopped the girl
and, as she waited in suppressed ex
citement, examined the passport and
ticket. Benorlta Cisneros, when the
papers were returned to her, hastened
to her stateroom, one brought no bag
gage with her, tut this apparently e-
rlted no comment.
Until the steamer started, two horns
and a half later, the young woman did
nut leave her room. A abort time be
fore the vessel sailed the chief of po
lice, accompanied by his deputy and
secretary, boarded tho rWneea, but
made no attempt to search fur the fugi
tive. They examined all the pauperis,
tut apparently suspected nothing when
they saw the one made out to Mr, Juun

Milford, Pa., Oct.
And ?o, after adventures such as have
oome"o few young women, the pretty
refugee found herself moving toward
the hospitable shores ot America. The
stars and stripes floated from the stern
of the Seneca and the lights of Ha
vana soon faded away.
When she arose the next day and saw
only the ocean on all sides, Senorlta
Clsneros found her secret too good to
keep and told It to the stewardess. Mrs.
KARL DECKER.
Bond, who provided proper attire for
the girl. Senorlta Clsneros then appear
ed on deck wearing the clothes In
which she landed.
The fugitive had been booked as Mr.
Juan Sola, but to make the entry in
keeping with her appearance a slip of
paper bearing the word "Miss" was
pasted over the "Mr.," and the name
"Juan" was changed to "Juana."
Her Prayer of Thankfulness.
Cape Hat teras light was the first thing
Senortta Clsneros saw on the coast.
When she learned that the light was in
the United States, the young woman
was overcome by emotion and, before
ail the passengers, knelt on the cabin
floor and prayed. As she an we she
wept. The hist sight of the country she
had heard bo much about had proved
te much fur her overstrained nerves.
Among Mlse Clsneros' fellow passen
gers on the Seneca were Hon. Walter
K. Baker, United titalec consul at Ba
gua la Grande; H. T. Stewart, Mrs. 11.
lustre irid Mrs. Del Real.
The Seneca waa met at quarantine
by The Journal's tug Fred Loliman,
which had several ot the girl's friends
uboard. As the Cuban maiden de
teendi;d the ladder froru the vessel's
deck 10 the tux she wore no hat or
wrap of any kind. Her dress consisted
of a red crepun waist, trimmed at the
peck ali itt'.e, and a biuvjt, skirt.

GUNBOAT FOR YUKON
IT WILL DO POUCE DUTY ON THE

Proposes to Protect the Gold Country

Ab Expert Opinion on the Extent of
Alaska's Ooldflelds.
San Francisco, Oct. 20. Naval men
here are much Interested in a proposed
scheme to put the navy In charge po
licing the Yukon Instead of the army.
Senator Perkins and Congressman Hill-
born will ask for speedy action on an
urgency appropriation of 175,000 for
boats and equipment of men to operate
on the Yukon next season. Secretary
Long, It Is said, will Incorporate the
main features of this plan In his next
report. The secretary Is now having
plans prepared for a flat bottomed,
stern wheel gunboat of 275 tons bur
den and a speeif"of 12 knots, as well us
specifications for arctic outfits for the
marines and sailors necessary to man
the craft and the stations to be placed
along the valley. The ship will be 125
feet long and 28 feet beam, with tubular
boilers and high pressure engines. Un
like ordinary river craft, she will be
housed in completely, with quarters for
the men on the main deck as well as
on the cabin floof. She will be armed
with S-pounder Swivel guns and gat
llngs. There will be three launches of
light draft and several smaller boats.
To Establish Three Stations.
The plan Is to establish three stations,
with Mlnook and Circle City at the ex
tremes. At each would be placed a
launch, "with 20 marines and 6 blue
jackets, while 15 marines and 25 sailors
would make up the crew of the gunboat.
Regular posts would be established at
points selected and dog teams kept
there, so that a winter patrol could be
maintained by the use of sledges.
Senator Perkins, In talking of the
scheme, said: "It is necessary that
some show of power be made in Alaska,
and I think of nothing better than to
give the work to the navy. It will be
practically all water travel, and naval
furcee are better able to handle boats
and themselves while afloat. To sen!
an Infantry force to some one point
would be like putting a regiment In Ida
ho to watch Ariiona Indian. A steam
er will be necessary to patrol. In fact.
I think we should have a steamer on
tlm Copper rtv.r as well."

than was brought down by the Danube,
which left St. Michaels one day before
the Bertha. Fourteen passengers came
down on the Bertha, with about $30,000
In gold, most of It being In the posses
sion of Arthur M. Pope and Hairy
Wright. Isaac Dietrich, a mine owner
and expert of San Francisco, was on
the Berths, In an Interview Mr. Diet
rich said:
"I have made a hasty trip of observa
tion of some of the gold sections of
Alaska. I thought so favorably of the
outlook that I got right Into the har
ness and have four men at work. Al
though gold mining In Alaska Is in its
extreme Infancy, yet I predict as great
a rush to certain parts of Alaska as
there Is now to Dawson.
"I do not think there will he such
great strikes as there were at Dawson,
but there will be occasionally some
thing' like $30 to $50 a day to the man.
My friend Cnptaln Stanley has enough
ground on Donania creek to warrant
the statement that he has as good as
$3,000,000 In dank.
"Such big strikes as his are as hard
to find as the big nuggets. The forma
tions of the gold hearing districts of
Alaska are just about like the Klondike,
and tbe conditions are the same. The
extent of the gold bearing country is
about 9o0 miles long and nearly 200
miles wide. It seems to be an extension
of the Rocky mountain belt. It will re
quire many years to prospect this great
country. At present only the richest
ground can be worked, but ae experi
ments are made the less paying ground
will afford a profit. I am of the firm
opinion that the rich placer fields of
Alaska will lead to the discovery of
quarts veins carrying a far greater
amount of gold than we have in Cali
fornia." b This Result Desirable
Should this country alone attempt
free coinuge of silver at the ratio of Id
to 1, it would thereby give notice) that
we are reudy to exchange for all comers
a quantity of gold which is valued at 1
in every civilized country for a quanti
ty of silver which represents in tho
markets of tbe world abont 50 cents.
Iu a very short time all gold would
disappear. It would bo hoarded to awuit
a premium or shipped to countries
where it is more appreciated. Ouly sil
wr would remain onr circulating medi
um. We would be on a silvez baiiis. Our
standard would be a dollar worth littlo
more than 60 pvuta in everycouiitry but
our own.
All values would quickly adjust thorn
selves to this depreciated dollar and
would fluctuate with its chuugiug; vjUue

DESERTED HIS BRIDE. .
Cunningham Kissed His Wife at the Al
tar, Then Left Her.
Trenton, Oct. 20. Matthew Cunning
ham yesterday afternoon married Ella
Reed and then sprinted to the railroad
station and Jumped on a passing train.
Ella Reed, with her bridesmaids, fol
lowed, yelling:
Stop that man! He Is going to de
sert me!"
Even Justice Van Nest, who tied the
knot, was In the chase. Cunningham
kept his promise to Ella Reed and then
left town.
Cunningham halls from Nova Scotia.
He went to Hightstown to better his
prospects and fell In love with Mrs.
Re d, who was a trifle older than he
was. Mrs. Reed had come from Vir
ginia to better her prospects also.
Cunningham agreed to marry Mrs.
Reed. He postponed the wedding sev
eral times because he did not have the
price of the feast. She forced the issue,
and the two, with a group of friends,
repaired to Justice Van Nest's office,
where they were united.
Cunningham appeared to enjoy the
ceremony and kissed the bride cordial
ly, after which the party started for
home to have the wedding breakfast.
The morning train had Just pulled into
thj station. Cunningham heard the
conductor shout "AH aboard!" and ran.
So did the bride, but she was fat, anil
he ran best. The bridal party followed,
and Justice Van Nest brought up the
rear.
Cunningham reached the depot as the
train pulled out. He bounded onto the
back platfurm and yelled:
"Goodby, sweetheart, goodby!"
The bride became hysterical and was
taken home in a carriage. She says she
doesn't know why she was deserted.
Government Currency.
The reason bank circulation bus been
decreasiug through a term of years, and
why it ia inelastic, remaining almost
without change from season to seuson,
is that the security fur it is a deposit of
government bonds. Tbe bunk capital is
in the treasury instead of iu business.
Tbe profits ou circulation decline as the
bonds iucreaso iu value or the rata of
interest declines, auU tho redemption
process is slow and ineffective. Tha

cy are now pretty well recoguhsed, and
