Outlook Bright for Peach Crop

New York. Aug. 0-Although the
annual wall of the American peach
growers went up early in the season
about alleged short crops in some pro.
life peach producing sections, the pres
ent outlook ia for abundant receipts
from most of the old and some of the
new sources of supply for this market.
Shipments from Georgia are ended for

Alleged Facts in the Brown-OverInan
Case Related by Mrs. Tunnel.

Alleged Facts in the Brown-OverInan
Case Related by Mrs. TunneH.
San Francisco, Aug. 10. - After
many months of waiting and of eva
sion, OF hurried fight from town to
town in California and across the
southern border, Mrs. NJ. F. Tunnell
has consented to tell the story of her
relations with the Rev. c. o. Brown
and Matte Overman, and to explain
why she fled at the very moment when
her presence was needed to dispel the
shadows of scandal, or to condemn
the pastor who was seriously accused.
Mrs. Tunnel is the last witness to
speak, and as far as facts are con-
cerned, the testimony che gives closes
the great case.
She explains the important points
upon which the clerical judges of DIR.
Brown were in doubt. She removes
the elements of uncertainty that made
the ecclesiastical court hesitate before
pronouncing final Judgment of con-
demnation. She fed from San Fran
cisco, she said, to shield DIR. Brown
from the consequences of his own guilt.
She says she knew of the love between
Matte Overman and the pastor, and
would have revealed her knowledge if
she had been summoned to the witness
stand.
She says that DR.. Brown paid her
expenses while she was away, and
when she returned, tried to induce her
to go to Central America. She tells
when and where she received the
famous letters from Matte Overman,
and for the first time explains how they
passed from her possession into the
keeping of man who allowed them to
be published.
She traces in detail the career Of
Matte Overman and she came to know
it through the condolences of her young
friend. The recital lifts the veil from
the home of the unfrocked pastor, and
shows how he struggled to save his
pulpit and his good name.

TO END THE WAR

Negotiations for Peace to Be Begun in
Cuba.
Key West, Aug. lit is openly
declared here that Captain General
Weyler has reached an understanding
with the chief insurgent leaders and
that negotiations will be begun with
view to the cessation of hostilities in
Cuba upon terms satisfactory to all
concerned. 1t is also stated here that
the captain general and his deputy
commanders have held conference in
relation to this important movement.
The authors of these striking declara-
tions say that the. truth of their reports
is established by the fact that within
the last few days many influential
emissaries have arrived here and at
other points in the United States; from
Cuba, bearing important dispatches to
the Cuban junta in New York. Some
of the sympathizers in the revolution
ary cause admit that these dispatches
may contain references to a possible
truce, but they are not inclined to talk
freely on the subject.
Other surmises which have been aris-
ing owing to the arrival of the Cuban
ENJOYS are to the effect that insurgents
are at this time dispatching messages
to the United States, urging immediate
aid in the way Of arms and ammuni.
ton, of which they are sorely in need.
By far the greatest Importance, how
ever, is attached here to the report that
truce is likely to occur soon in the
island. Ernesto Castro and Jose Ros-
sell, picked up by the pilot boat Jewett,
and brought here last night, are still
held in detention by the health authori-
ties, despite the efforts of their friends
to have them released. Habeas corpus
proceedings were held today, however.
and the men may be released.
The apparent anxiety and the un.
usual efforts made to secure the release
of the two Cubans detained, In order to
enable them to proceed to New York,
are evidences of the Importance of their
mission to the United States. Their
arrival was telegraphed to the junta in
New York, and the dispatches that they
brought were entrusted to messenger.
Some prominent local members of
the Cuban revolutionary party ridicule
the reports ascribed to the presence in
this country of emissaries from the
rebels. Recent wholesale arrests in
Havana and elsewhere, Of insurgent
agents, together with the capture of
emissaries bearing dispatches from the
field, they state, has temporarily inter-
rupted the former means of sending
messages and they have been compelled
to resort to dispatohing them direct
from the coast.

Between Japan and Germany.

San Francisco, Aug. 11.-According
to mail advices from the Orient today,
