New York, Sept. 1 A dispatch from Ha
vana, to the Hernld says:
If the Duke' of Tetuan a order for tbe
rtmuvai of Evangeline Clsneroa from tbe
tecogdlas to a convent baa been received,
which the authorities will not admit, no
action baa yet been taken. According to
precedert nothing will bedono until .Gen
eral Weyler returns. The date of bis re
turn la uncertain. In tbe meantime there
is no danger that the girl will be harshly
.ileal t wlth.lt would appear that her releoee
from prison la only a question of time.
When General Weyler started for tbe
front he wrote the most friendly letter to
Consul-General Lee in reply to the bitter's
appeal for the liberation of Evangeline.
General Weyler said in his letter that ai
the case was still sub judlco he would not
now- do anything, but she would be
brought to trial very shortly.
The recent agitation In the American
press. General Weyler continued, made
his favorable action difficult, but he trust
ed that when the time came he would see
his way to accede to General Lee's re
quest. This means that Weyler Is dispos
ed to pardon the girl.
Evangeline does not wish to go to a
convent. Her chief desire Is to face her
accusers In open court. She still remem
bers that she has a sweetheart and she is
very anxious concerning her father's fate.
She Is as comfortably situated as possible
in a Spanish prison. She Is well dressed,
has her meals sent from a restaurant and
is accordend privacy.
