BANDIT’S ESCAPE.
SMUGGLED IN A YACHT. _ Torre, one of the leaders of the Corsican bandits, is reported to have made a dramatic escape to the French mainland with the help of a private yachtsman. A Nice newspaper, in a circumstantial story of the escape, says that a private yacht put in at Cap d’Antibes on. a Saturday and that the owner was accompanied by a young, athletic-looking man, who disappeared soon after the boat’s arrival. The yacht owner remained, near the town throughout the Sunday, but when the police went to see him the next day both Jie and liis craft were missing. Tt is said that the younger Caviglioli, the bandit who surrendered to the police, assisted in Torre’s escape. Torre is ope of the most daring of the Corsican bandit chiefs, against whom French forces are waging a relentless campaign. He is one of the four important brigands—the others are the two Spadas aDd Bornea—still at large.
