Barely Escaped After Rescuing

AND THE PLUCKY CORRESPOND?
ENT HAD TO FORGE SENOR
CARJOVAL'S NAME TO A PASS
PORT IN ORDER TO LEAVE HA?
VANA?THRILLING EXPEH IENCE*
AFTER THE RESCUW. [
New York, Oct. 15.?Kurl Decker, of
Washington, known in Havana as
Charles Dnval, the rescuer of Evagelina
Cossio y Cisneros from the Casa de Reco
jidas, Havana, who arrived in this city
yesterday, was met down the hay by a
number of newspaper men, and said:
"I was commissioned by the New Vork
Journal to no to Cuba and dclivci Se
utorltn Cossio y Cisncr s from the filthy
Recojidas prison. I started from New
York August 28, determined to free the
woman, though I did not see my way
clear as to tne plan to be adopted. After
reaching Havana many plans suggested
themselves to me, but each one proved
impracticable. I tried to bribe the jailor
or alcalde, but he wauted SMi.OttO'for the
job and positive assurances that he and
his family could yet to the United States.
This was too rich a proposition for me."
Mr. Decker repeated the story of the
rescue fiom 'he jail as already told in his
dispatches, ami then related what hap?
pened after the girl was out of the prison,
lie said:
"When Senorita Cossio y Cisneros en?
tered our shanty adjoining the jail we let
her rest a few moments and then took
her to a carriage awaiting outside and
drove to the house of a friend. The friend
was holding a reception that night.which
was a part of the plot. The man who
drove the carriage was one of the conspi?
rators. Senorita Cossio y Cisneros was
exhausted from exciteme.it when she
reached the house, but she did not give
way
"On Thursday morning she was taken
to the home of a friend, wheie she re?
mained in secrecy until Saturday after?
noon.
"To reach the steamer for New York
she was obliged to walk down Obispo
street, the principal thoroughfare of Ha?
vana, at a time when the street was
crowded,and yet take her time and rmoko
a cigar. If she had skulked "about the
back streets she would immediately have
been suspected. It was over n m'le from
the house to the pier She had a pass?
port made out under an assumed name.
i\ll the steamships anchor out in the
stream. Senorita Cossio y Cisneros
walked down from the house, clad ns a
rancher, and my companion and 1 follow?
ed behind. She sauntered along leisurely,
and once in a while turned about to see
if we were followiug. We mot'oned her
to go'on. She grew more confident as she
went along, but we could see that she
was under a strain. Shu got on the
launch and we v.-aited, and when the
launch returned from tue vessel and she
was not on it, we knew that the scheme
hail worVed like a charm.
"The day after the jailbreak the town
was astir over the escape of Senorita
Cossio y Cisneros,a house to house search
was begun and would have been kept up
had not a telegram from Minister Dupuy
de Lome at Washington informed Wey ler
that the girl was on the high seas and ex?
pected any day in New York. Then Wey
ler was mad. He threw the jailor. Jose
Quintana, into jail,^whereupon the jailer
told about my attempting to "bribe him.
This, in connection with the surmise of
De Lome, placed suspicion on me. I gave
it out that I was going to take a steamer
for Mexico. There was only one steamer
leaving Sunday, and that was i Spanish
steamer. I waited for instructions from
New York, and had almost made up my
Clind to start Sunday, instructions or no
instructions. My instructions came,
happily.
"My passport was made out In the
name of Karl Decker. In order to take
the Panama Sunday night and run the
g uintlet I must get my passport vised and
stamped With the seal of^tho secretary of
the captain general. I knew that my
passport would never be Bigned and I
learned that an order for my arrest was
determined on, and that 1 was to be ar
-ested ut 5 o'clock Monday morning. I
was in a bad plck.c. I got a glimpse of
the writing of Scnor Carjoval, the secre?
tary of Weyler, und I copied it -o that I
had it down fine. Then I forged the vis?
rr ynnturc. 1 determined tol do without
the seal. At the last moment I went to
the wharf and took the launch for the
steamship. The inspector looked at my
passport and asked where the sea1 was.
1 assumed a nonchalant air, as best 1
could, and told him that Senor Carjoval
was at the Ingleterre Hotel, and having
no seal, he signed his name to a state
ment, saying it was all right. The in?
spector hesitated and showed the signa?
ture to another inspector, who said all
right, and I was safe.
"The Spanish authorities never
thought for a moment that I would take
a Spanish steamer. Nearly all the Amer
leans take the American line. They did
not think to guard the Panama aud
watch for me. They arrest all pi isoners
at 5 o'clock in the morning. They were
sure I would be in town on Monday, and
thev were fooled."

| Communicated ] . .,
In order that tlio people of Roauoko
may know something of the people who
call themselves Christians or Disciples of
Christ, worshipping on Fourth .avenue,
these facts are contr>buted'_to The Times
for the information of all who want to
know something of tlio ; remarkable
growth of 'this 'people. Their pastor in
our city is Rev. Ira W. Kimme1.; tho con?
gregation now numbers 280, aud they
have outgrown their present house of
worhlp. ami this people number in the
EV \XGELI8T MACLANK.
United States alone ono million and forty
thousand, who refuse to bear any name
but that of Christ. They have numbered
in their ranks some of |tho clearest
thinkers ot the age, among whom may be
mentioned Timothy Coon, of England,
the great philanthropist; James A. Gar
field, late President of the United States;
Judge Jorre S Black, Secretary of State;
Walter Scott, Barton Stone, Alexander
Campbell, and many governors and Con?
gressmen. In some States we have a
lari/er adult membership than any other
church.
No religious movement has increased so
rapidly as this current reformation. The
New York Independent in 1894 gave the
per cent, of increase in four years of tho
religious societies. Here are tlie figures:
The Disciples of Christ, Church of
Christ, 85 per cent.
Catholics, seven kinds, 1!) per cent.
Congregationalists, 13 per cent.
Presbyterians, twelve kinds, 11 per
cent.
Episcopalians, 11 percent.
Methodists.seventeen kinds, 7 per cent.
Baptists, thirteen kinds, 2 per cent.
Unitarians, less than 1 per cent.
Univcrsnltsts, a great decrease, aud to?
day this religious body is increasing more
rapidly than all otters. Their distinc?
tive plan is set foith as follows:
This movement stands for tho union of
God's people by a return to the primitive
simplicity of the New restamentChurch;
the restoration of its doctrine, ordinances
and life as taught in the Now Testament,
and tho advancement tf sectarianism and
of human creeds and coufetsions of faith
in favor of the simple and all sullicient
standards given by inspired men in the
word ot God; Jesus Christ the Son of
God, as the one and only head of church;
the Bible as tho only book; the Divine
name the only name of the church and
people; union in Christ and on Christ
and un-'er Christ.
The people nf Roauoko are cordially
invited to come to the Christian Church
on Fourth avenue and hear Evangelist
Mac Lane, who preaches every night at
7:45. He is one of the most noted evange?
lists of thlsgreat people, and has preached
all over the United States and Canada.
We do not- hesitate to say that he is one

BUSINESS ON A
REGULAR BOOM.
The Movement of Trade Enjoying a
General Revival.
New York, Oct.*15.?Dun's Review of
Trade will say to-morrow:
The foreign trade of the past mouth,
the increase in the "production and con?
sumption of irou and the largest pay?
ments ever known through clearing
houses in October are indications which
outweigh the hesitation iu some of the
markets.
Increased employment of labor, works
opening and the raising of wages con?
tinue at every point and the actual pro?
duction appears to bo greater than ever
befote.
The latest elTtrt of the Bank of Eng?
land'has delayed turtle? shipments ot
gold, but with the cotton movement ris?
ing, large exports of gold to this side is
deemed certain in the near future. More
gold, however, means less just uow thau
more iron. The output of pig iron for
the past week iu October was greater
than ever before, with prices steady.
The movement in boots and shoes in
the Kastern factories surpasses all re?
cords for October.
The cotton mills are producing largely,
with prices slightly reduced. The sales
of wool for speculation have greatly de?
creased, though now strong and advanc?
ing.
Wheat is fairly steady, with more mov?
ing from the farms than lasc year.
Railroad earnings are t?iuch larger for
the first week in October, which indi?
cates progress in general business.
The volume of payments through the
clearing houses continues larger than in
the best years of our national prosperity.
Collections continue good in most parts
of the country.
The failures for the week were 2211
against 328 for the same week last year,
and is the smallest for the same woo* of
any previous year.
TILLE TT STRUCKS BACK.
T? the Editor of The Times: In the
last issue of the Roanoke Evening
World its editor sees lit to go out of his
way to criticise my action in otYering my
resignation as delinquent tax collector
of this citv. Iu reply thereto, 1 beg
"leave to say that under the- present city
charter the collection of the city's de?
linquent Vises is no part or parcel of my
duty as city sergeant and cannot be so
considered, unless prescribed by future
acts ol the City Cor ncil. The duties of
my office have grown so much of bite
that I find it impossible for mu to give
any part of my time to the collection of
said taxes.
Before offering my resignation I con?
sulted Disinherit of the fluance committee
of Council and they concurred iu my
view of the matter, thinking, as I did,
that the position could and should he
tilled by some one who couh1 devote his
entire time to the wor.i. The editor of
the World (and lie is but a late arrival) is
the first one who has unearthed the fact
that 1 have been derelict or have shirked
any duty imposed upon me, or that the
city government has been run in the lu
terest of a few ofllco holders.
Again, the said editor says if a resigna?
tion is accepted for a part of au office It
should include tho whole. The gentle?
man forgets that I am also a State officer,
and it would not be as easy as ho Im
ngtnes to dispose of me. Fortunately,
for me at least, the ofllco of sergeant be?
longs to the whole people of Roanoke,
and not to the editor of the World, nor
to the number of citizens who can per?
form tlie duties of the ollice, etc.
More, had the gentleman taken the
time and trouble to hare investigated the
subject. I don't think he would hare been
so anxious to have aired his okh peculiar
views. T. R. TILLETT.

WANT IT REPEALED.
Interests Outside of Tobacco Trust Want
Now Legislation.
Washington, Oci. 15.?Tobacco inter?
ests outside of tho American Tobacco
Company are organizing to secure a re?
peal at the tho next session of Congress
of section 10 of the tariff law, so far as it
prohibits tho plating of coupons inside of
packages of smoking tobacco, .cigarettes,
etc.
The section In uuestion was ostensibly
designed to forbid the insertion of ques?
tionable pictures in cigarettes, but '.it is
now asserted, by underhand methods it
was worded so as to interfete with legiti?
mate trade propositions, such as giving
I a present to tho purchasei of 100 pack
ages of tobacco, as shown by the cou?
pons.
Senntor Elkins is most pronounced iu
regarding this legislation as a trick
which should bo promptly nullified.

ami the three candidates for .State offices
lecently nominated at the Lyuehburg
convention, called at the White House
yesterday afternoon, were received by the

with him
The party included '.Colonel P. H. Mc

on the same 1 icket. Those of the com?

All of these prominent leaders of the

In this city Wednesday afternoon and
were in consultation,tog? ther with Mnjor
Haines, of Nottoway county; John E.
Roller, of Rockiugbnin, 'and Capt. John
S. Wise, of New York and Virgiuia, who
takes a lively interest In all tho affairs of
the Old Dominion. The purpose of the
conference was to formulate plans for the
coming campaign and to see President
McKinley In order that moral support
might be gained for the fight. The ex?
ecutive committee was busily engaged all
of Wednesday iu selecting stump speak?
ers and outlining an itinerary for each of
them.
Shortly after 4 u'ctock yesterday after?
noon the leaders joyously journeyed to
the White House. They were at once
shown into the President's room, and
couversed with him lor quite a while.
Leaving the mansion the members of the
committee seemed very happy, and their
faces were wrentheil lu smiles All are
quite enthusiastic over their reception,
ami are more than satisfied with the out?
come of their visit.
In speaking of the matter Iu3t night,
Chairman Wlckhaai said:
"Wo nre greatly pleased with our visit
to President McKinley this afternoon.
Wo told him of the coming campaign,
and wi the exact condition of affairs as
they now exist in Virginia. The Presi?
dent listened intently to nil that we had
to say, ami I feel quite sure that much
good will come cf the interview.
"I am more than gratified with our
trip to Washington," continued Cha'r
inan Wlckhum. "Wo have met with
nothing but sympathy throughout, and
have been encouraged in our work by
every one with whom we have had an in?
terview. Prominent men from all over
the country have spoken to us, and urged
us vO go on in our light. They know that
we are iu the right, and are willing to
back us.
"I Viee that Colonel Waddill is reported
as saying in a Richmoud paper that he
understands a committee of the Lamb
faction is in Washington, and declares
that it 'must be new, and are evidently
lost.' We tiro glad to hear this said. It
is but another evidence that we represent
tho people aud not the politicians."
It was rumored last night that before
the election in Virginia takes place the
President will express his approval of tho
Lamb faction aud will give tliB caudi
atos on that ticket his support in a com?
munication to the Republicans cf tho Old
Dominion.
