New York. Sept. 3. The Herald ays:
Prince Luigl of Savoy, duke of Abruzzla,
and nephew of the king of Italy, is at the
Waldorf, having reached thl city after
accomplishing the feat of climbing to the
summit of Mount St. Ellas. Concerning
his achievement Prince Luigl I very mod
est. He has avoided conversing about the
character of the work he and his party
had to isrform before they arrived at the
summit or the scientific facts he has add
ed to the former knowledge of the moun
tain. When he returms to Italy he will
preixtre a monologue concerning his ex
periences which will be. It Is said, of
great value to that division of the Scien
tific world Interested in the study of
phenomena of great altitudes.
This monologue will be accompanied by
photographs which were taken by the
party of various stages of the journey.
Some of these, most notably those which
were obtained at elevations of more than
l.ia.ai feet, have no equals. It is said, in the
world. The negatives are In the personal
possession of the prince, who prizes them
as the most valuable of his trophies of
Mount St. Ellas. They will be developed
In Italy and until then Prince Luigl de
clines even to converse about them.
Chevalier Cagnl was the prince's spokes
man. He was enthusiastic over the ex
pedition. When asked how his party had
been received by the citizens of Seattle,
he smiled as though the recollection was
humorous.
"Why," he said, "they received us with
the utmost courtesy, but none of them
believed we would succeed. So many had
attempted the ascent, and abandoned it,
you know. We were told of all kinds of
dangers which we would certainly en
counter, but we went ahead and suc
ceeded. "
' Did you encounter any great dil!icul
tlesr' "Frankly, no: the greatest was the ques
tion of transportation of food. It was nec
essary we Bhould take sufficient with us
to assure our safety. It was essential to
climbers that we should not be overbur
dened. Yet every pound added to our
equipment increased our danger. We were
at last able to solve the difficulty and by
good fortune did not suffer from hunger."

Mis Ccfvictioa, Certaii Bef.rc i Fair Coirl
Says She Could Coiviice Geaerit
Weyler If She Coald Obtala Aadieice.
Near York, September 1 A a pedal to
th. World from Havana aay.:
A World correapondant went to
Evangellna Cl.nero. In hor prison. Tues
days, Thursdays and Saturday are irtalt
Ing days tu the womana' Jail and the
anteroom on these day la full of people
from 12 to t p. ra., who have eome to eon
dole with and bring good tiding to their
relative and friend. When the World's
correspondent asked to ae. Mia. Coado
he waa allowed to pass through the out
aide iron gate Into a .mall room with a
stone floor, on one of the walls of which
w at painted in large letter: "8alla de Jus- '
tic la." Evangellna waa aent for upstair)
and while waiting the correspondent hud
the opportunity to notice aome of the
other women who were receiving visit.
One was a weil-dresaed woman who had
murdered her husband. Sitting next to
her wan a good-looking woman who had
been caught selling ammunition! and sup
plies to the Inaurgenu. She waa a politi
cal prisoner. Next to her wa a woman
who kept a lodging house In Havana and
bad rented a room to two men whom she
did not know. While their baggage waa
being moved Into the room the police
seized two of their trunks and found arms
and ammunition. The men escaped but
the landlady was arrested. She knew
nothing of the case, but was held respons
ible, and is now waiting the result of the
full and long lnvestlgatoln.
A few minutes-after the arrival of the
correi4nuH Evangelic cftiBtripplng .
down the stairs and walked gracefully
across the end of the courtyard and nut
through the gate Into the reception room.
She 1 beyond question pretty. She Is
petite of figure and graceful tn all Her
movements. Her manners are perfect ana
her self-possession wonderfuL She said
she could not make any statement on
paper because her friends had told her
not to. but she talked quite freely of ber
hopes and fears and answered question
seemingly without reserve. She did not
receive her meals from the outside, she
said, because she was afraid of treachery
and preferred to be content with the
rations of the Jail.
There are eight or ten other women in
this same big room. All looked clean and
respectable and all were white women.
One of them was a distinguished looking
h.dy of about 50, wth Tiandsome gray hair.
Some alleged political offense is the cause
of herimprisonment. Evangellna is the
most animated of all. She is the star
Ixiardtr and recevea more attention ana
has more visitors. She said that the let
ters she received from Olonel Cerrls on
the Island of Pines and which contain evi
dence of his guilty Intention toward her
were all sent by her friends to Austria and
from there direct o Spain to the queen
reuent. She says If they could be pro
duced before a fair court his conviction
would be certain. The colonel says thut
he wrote her but one letter and that
granted the permit to her futhere to trav
el as a peddler.
She would not describe the events of the
night of July 26, 1S!5, further than to say
that she knew Colonel Bern was com
ing to her house that night, because his
secretary had told her so. She opened
the door wh?n he knockea. As tohow
she was seized or by whom she would not
say. She escaped from the house and was
arrested the following morning and
brought to Havana. She says that the
greatest favor any one can do for her
would be to secure for her an interview
with General Weyler. She says:
"I could convince him Tf he would only
hear me."
In government circles nothing has been
heard from Madrid In connection with
transferring her to a convent. Opinions
differ as to whether such a change would
le of beneilt. If her case Is let alone for
a while she will be released and per
haps ordered to leave the Island.
