SMUGGLED A NOTE TO HER CELL. rtCIDS TO EAT "OFF ^'HE IKON A*?D DKUGS TO PUT THE VIGI LAN TS TO SLEEP WERE SE? CRETLY SENT TO MISS CISNE R03?AT AN AGREED SIGNAL SHE ESCAPED BY ROPES TO THE GROUND UNDER COVER OP NIGHT. A Hnvaaa special to the New York Journal says: Evangellna Cosio y Cisneros is at lib? erty, and the Jourual can place to its credit the greatest journalistic coup of the nue. It is an illustration of the J methods of new journalism, and it will lind an endorsement in the heart of e?-*ery woman who has read ol the horrible suHerings of the poor girl who has been confined for fifteen long months in Re cojidas prison. The Journal, finding that all other methods were unavailing, decided to se? cure her liberation through force, and this, as tlio specially selected commis? sioner of tho Journal, I have succeeded in doing. I have broken the bars of Re cojidas, and have set. free tho beautiful ! captive of monster Wevler, restoring her j to her friends and relatives, and doing by strength, skill and strategy what could i not, be accomplished by petition and ur- I gent request of the Pope. Weyler could blind the queen to tho ^renl character of Evangellna, but he eould^not build a jail tint could hold against Journal enter? prise when properly set to work. To-night all Havana rings with the story. It is the one topic of conversa? tion; everything else pales into Insignifi? cance. No one remembers that there has been a change of ministry. What mat? ter If Weyler is to got' Evaugelina Cis mios has escaped from the jail, thought by every one to be 'absolutely impregna? ble. A plot has been hatched right in the. heart of Hava na,a desperate plot,asshoun by the revolver found on tho roof of the house through which tho escape was effected, and, as the result *of this plot, put into elTect under the very nose of the Spanish guar>ls. Evaugelina is free. How was it done:' How cou'd it have been donel No one knows where Evncelina is now. To toll the stoty~of the escape briefly. I came here three weeks ago, having been told 'by tho editor of the Journal to go to Cuba and rescue from her prison Miss Cisneros, the niece of the former president of the Cuban republic, a tenderly reared girl, descended from one of the best families in tho island,and herself a martyr to the unsatisfied beast in a Spanish uniform. I arrived at Clenfuegos Into in Septem? ber, telegraphed to a known and tried man in Santiago de Cuba to meet me in Havana, and then went to Santa Clara, where I picked up a second man, knowu to be gritty, aad then proceeded to Ha? vana. Here I *.emained in almost abso? lute concealment, so as to avoid the spies that dog one's steps wherever one may go, and make impossible any clever work of this kind, Roth the men who accom- | pained me, Joseph Horuandou and Har? rison Mai lory, pursued the same course and remained quiet until all plans had been completed. We found that tho little house, No. 1 O'Farrell street, next door to the prisou, was empty, and gold pieces made it ours for two months. Having the key, I en? tered the house without "being noticed on Wednesday. Hernandon and Mai lory lollowed about an hour later. As it appeared at this time to be abso? lutely impossible to get into the jail our? selves or to get Miss Cisneros out, it was considered to have become a case of "un ter los manes," and a sturdy attempt was made to reach the guards or Keepers with bribes, but nothing was effected. Fiually when it appeared that'the only possible way to secure tho escape of the beautiful Cuban would be to dynamite a part of the building, a note was smug? gled into her as a last resort, asking if :die could make auy suggestions that could help us. In answer she sent the following mes? sage, in Spanish, of course: "My plan is the following: To escape by the roof with the ^aid of a rope, de? scending by the front of the house at a given hour and signal. For this I require acids to destroy the bars of the windows and opium or morphine, so as to set, to sleep my companions. The best way to use it is in sweets, aud thu? I can also set to sleep the vigil wits. "Three of you come and stand at. the corner: a lighted cigar wili bo the signal of alarm, for which I may have to de? lay, and a white huuderchief will be the ngieed signal by which I can safely des? cend. I will only bring with me the nec? essary clothes tied around my waist. This is my plan. Let me know if it is convenient." In brief, by bribes, flies, acid, ladders stretched high between onr house and tho prison, we succeeded in effecting the escape of Miss Cisneros. Each member of tho party risked his life a hundred times. The girl's serial pathway was di? rectly over tho heads of the Spanish sen? tinels. Weyler and Palmerola were almost in sane with grief when they learned of the escape. The Journal's Interpreter and boat-nan have been arrested. They knew uoth'ng of the plan and hsd no part in it.

A very poorly printed circular was dis? tributed over Hoanoko yesterday, sigueil by citizens of the Fifth ward, two of them being members of tho City Council, calling on the people of the Fifth ward to assemble lu mass-meeting and consider grievances under which they assume they are suffering. Primarily to get the ne*s, secondly to help tho movement along by giving the matter publicity, The Times sent a re? porter to the meeting. He was llatly denied admission, whether or not by one in am hoi ity we are uunblo to sny. Why the reporter whs denied the priv? ilege of getting . au impartial report of tbe meeting we are unable to state with definite accuracy. The reason tor a star chamber meeting of citizens held on a matter of public interest is not very plain. Me that as it may, The Times did get a report of that, meeting and presents it to the considoiatiou of our readers: In the first place, there were sovcty. five or eighty people present, and two men were stationed at tho stairway en? trance, where they challenged everyone not personally known to them who dared to offer to go in. At about 8:30 the meet iug was called to order and T. 1). .Shu? mate was made chairman and Deputy Sergeant lt. T. Bos well secretary. A number of speeches were made re? garding the grievances7of the people |of the Fifth ward. Dr. .J. T. Strickland, a member of Council from the Fifth ward, spoke and be held to the opinion that his constituency were going about the matter m the wrong way. He said that ho wanted the people to understand that when it came te a matter of his ward receiving any benefits in any way that he was with them and "only wished that they could have every improvement asked for, but lie did uot think it a wise p?licy to go to work to condemn the ac? tion of the City Council for not granting their recent request us to tbe expenditure of a large sum of money on Third avenii" n. w. The doctor does not believe that such methods will gain tbe sympathy and good will of the various members of the City Council. It is thought that Dr. Strickland was cmservati .e^in his Hews regarding the matter, and while he does not believe that the plans adopted are just and proper, yet he expressed himself as being with his constituency so far as anything could be properly gaiued which would be a benefit to the section of the city which he represents. It is understood that every suggestion of Councilman Strickland was .turned down, and sonieof.thu .members of the meeting actually condemned him for vot? ing In Council for the appropriation needed for repairing Campbell and Salem avenues. Councilmen Coulbourn aud Newton ah-.o made speeches advocating that the people take steps to secure some recogni? tion from Council so far as street im? provements uro concerned. They were uot so conservative in their demands and the former, especial1}-, seemed to want to force Council into measures. A resolution was adopted that a com? mittee of IIpc should be appointed to draft resolutions to be presented to Coun? cil demanding that a pro rata share of the street Improvements of'tbe city shall be granted to the Fifth ward in accord? ance with the amount of taxes collected. The committee appointed was com? posed ot J. A. Page, J. W. Fisher, F, L. Slaughter, C. C. Itlley and R. T. Bos well. 'As this'commlttee was to deal with the City Council it was deemed wisest uot to place a member of that body on it. What this committee-can hope to accomplish is not known. They may succeed in getting a comn.unication before the City Council, but whether it will ever be considered by ?hat body is the question. It is understood that E r. Strickland, who totdi the door several times during the course of the meeting, said that ho had to drive over all sections of the city aud that he found the streets of the Fifth ward were on an average i with other portions of the city, and in many instances better.

OCTOBER 12, MICHAEL WILL QUIT RACING The Little Welshman's Remarka? ble Performance, STOCKS' HKCORO NOT RECOG? NIZED? MICHAEL AND HIS WIFE TO LIVE IN CHICAGO-TO START LIFE IN THEIR NEWLY ADOPTED COUNTRY WITH A SNUG NEST EGG?WHY THE ENGLISH REC? ORDS EHOULO BE RECOGNIZED. Philadelphia, Oct. 11.?The record trial of Jimmy Michael oa Saturday at Wil? low Grove truck, wheu this wonderful little rider rode 152 miles (552 yards in GO minutes, was the sole topic of conversa? tion yesterday among the wheelmen in tho various club houses and aiouud tho places where the cycling enthusiasts are wont to congregate. This city now holds thejattentijii of the cycling world and all eyes are now turned this way, watch? ing for the next big move in the way of remarkable performances. In one sin? gle week three records were broken and the greatest twenty-live mile race ever run in this country was pulled off be? tween the two greatest long-distance rid? ers in the world. What was most commented on of Sat? urday's trial was the uncertainty of the record to be attacked. Some said the fcr tner record was 82 miles -4-18 yards, made by Stocks in June, and on the27th of last month the same rider made ;52 miles 1,073 yards in an attempt to go !1!J miles ;n the hour. There seems to be no dispute that the Englishman has covered this ground, but a kick conies from the controller of rac? ing in this country that Stocks was paced by motor cycles, therefore his record should not go. This is showing a very poor .sporting spirit, just because we haven't any motor cycles that can be used on the tracks for pacing purposes. After all, the ouly true record is the one made by the rider alone, and the judg? ment of the ability of jury racer should be made onlj (roin bis own efforts, with? out the aid of any pacing machines of auy descriptiiu. So much ridicule has been aimed at cy cl'ng records, fcr there are so many with this and ihiU stipulation tagging on them, that the uneducated in the doings of tiie cycling fraternity don't know where they stand. The true sportsman recognizes the racer who makes the best time as the champion whether be is jpaced by this, that or the other thing. ^The fact still remains that the feat was done, and done on a bloyble. But to get back to tho first argument. The only 'legitimate record is the one made without the .aid of out? side bei]). After his trial on Saturday Michael said "thnt be was jveiy .nearly rhiough, and would start West- soon and settle down and enjoy a well-earned rest." Mrs. Jimmy Michael Is now in this country, having arrived 'about a month ngo. It is." Jimmy's plan to tnke the money he hss won this season, ami it is no small amount by any means, jum in? vest it in a home in Chicago, it is his intention to stay here permanently. Tho amount that Michael.lias won this year may be imagined from the fact that in addition to his salary, which 'is the larg? est received by an American racing man, he won $3.200 in his raee with McDuffee; $3,600 in his race with Starbuck; $1,500 at Springfield; $:'>,0t>0 in the tricornered race at Boston, and $2,500 in the Lesua race. In addition lie has appeared in several exhibltlns,which have netted him from $250 to $500 each. Mrs. Michael has the congratulations of tho^ American public in beiiur the spouse of one of the most estimable of racing men, and one who Is making tho coin of tiie country come h!s way.

WEYLER'S JUPLICITY Apparantly Solicitous Over the Situation He Created. FEELING AMONG THE CUBANS. THEY REGARD GENERAL BLANCO WITH SUSPICION AND DO NOT THINK HE WILL CHANGE THE SPANISH MODE OF WARFARE EXCEPT POSSIBLY IN SOME MINOR RESPECTS. Havana, via Key West, Oct. 11.?Gen? eral Woyler Is trying to nullify the feel? ings of his fervid supporters here, and seems now very solicitous [over the situ? ation he himself [created by his incite? ment of the volunteers to make demon? strations in his favor. The steamer which will leave to-morrow for Spain will be detained in port, until *a late hour. In case the hot-headed partisans of Weyler should not relinquish their desire to make riotous demonstrations in Havana as a protest auainst the recall of tho captain general. Weyler will immediately embark for Spain to avoid further trouble. What Weyler aud his friends now de? sire is to keep the peace in Havana until the arrival of the '.new captain-general. Then n final demonstration in honor of Weyler will bo made as n~set?d-ofl, and it will be intended also as a warning to Gen. Blauro that iu ense ho should not follow tho policy of his predecessor the Spanish party will be greatly displeased with him. The Reformist party has heard with joy tho news of General Bianso's appoint? ment, but the Cul>.ms do not believe that tho new captain-general will transform the warfare of the Spanish army save in some minor aspects. The war has as? sumed such a bloody character during the two years "f Weyler!? rule and tho hale between the Spaniards and Cubans is so intense that, the ablest diplomat would fail in an effort to assuage the im? placable bitterness of feeling. Further? more, General Blanco's record of cruelty in tho Philippines makes him an object of suspicion to the Cubans. A prominent Cuban hero, who is in "constant commu? nication with tho leaders of th<j revolu? tion, has said: "Wo are not fighting hero for Blanco against Weyler or for Sagasta against Azcarraga. We are fighting to achieve freedom from Spain. Itjis a matter of very little importance to.n? who is the Spaniard who commands tho Spanish troops. Be bo Wevler or Blanco, be Is equally our enemy until "onr country is free. Thnt is what Gen.*Gome/. has "re? peatedly declared. It is true that among the Spaniards Weylet Is champion, but we are not.'going to ghe up our sacred cause because * he leaves Cuba. With Weyler or with Blaueo Cuba shall bo free." The irreconciliable Spanish newspapers such as El Pueblo and La Uninu Con stltucional, publish insulting editorials auainst America and ^General Woodford, who is said by these newspapers to have asked Weyler's recall. General Weyier's friends sav that as soon as he arrives iu Spain he will Issue a 'manifesto explain? ing to the country hjs~pollcy and defend? ing himself of tho charges of cruelty made agxinst him. At MogOte, Piunr del Rio"province, a hard tight took place on FrtdayZbetween the Spanish forces under Capt. Balle and the Cubans, commanded by (leu. Din/..
