FATE OF BROWN.
Hangs in Great Measure Upon
the Testimony THAT May BE Given
by Mrs. Tunnel.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 4.-Deacon
Williams subjected Miss Overman to
a severe cross examination at the
evening session of the council before
which Rev. c. o. Brown of the First
Congregational church is being tried
on charges of immortality.
He asked her, among other things,
if she had not felt for some time that
her feelings for DR.. Brown had been
tertain toward married man. Miss
Overman replied with much apparent
indignation that she had felt no such
thing. She admitted, however, that
she did not wait for the pastor to
tempt her, but fell of her own ac-
cord.
Mr.. Williams led her through long
lane of misty, hay questions, cover
ing that period beginning with the
meeting Dec 10 and ending with her
entry into the doctors study the same
afternoon when the alleged blackmail
OF Mrs. Davidson was revealed to her.
MI Williams wanted to know if the
old feeling came back in the darkness
Of the room The Witness however,
did not get an opportunity to reply
to this, for DR.. Pond entered a seri-
Gus objection to what he termed pc
culiar and unnecessary cross eXami-
nation, and said if it was continued
he would certainly withdraw from the
deliberations of the council.
Rev. Mr.. Sink wanted to know what
her feelings toward DR.. Brown were
now. Sincere pity, and that only,
was the reply.
The members of the council have
come to the conclusion that Miss Over
mans story, without confederation, is
insufficient. They have decided that
Mrs. Tunnel is not in the city. She
has been telegraphed for in the name
of the council, and upon her words
hangs, in a measure, the fate OF DR.
Brown.
Miss Overman's cross-examination was
continued at this afternoons session @
the council She admitted that Mrs Tun
nell, the missing witness whom the council
would like to find, had no means anc
that she had sent Mrs. Tunnel seYera
remittanceS since her Departure She ad
mitted further that the money had beer
furnished by DR.. Brown, and when asked
why DR.. Brown should send money Il
Mrs. Tunnel asked why should he not o
The roSS-eXamination of the witness re
garding the published letter from hersel
to Mrs. Tunnel got the witness into
tangle, from which she extricated hersel
by saying that she had not marked thu
interpolated passages OF all the letters
/ She said she had never expected that tn
| letters would be published, supposing tina
| DIR. Brown would never allow the matte
to go so far, and that he would rattle
pay a large sum of money than attemp
/ to expose the conspiracy she and Mrs
! Davidson had formed

BOSTON, March 4-With the sub
sidence of the waters, which during
Sunday night. Monday and Tuesday
overwhelmed a greater part of New
England. figures of losses sustained
are coming in, and from those received
it is apparent that the total damage
sustained in the section will be con-
siderably more than 100000. This
does not include the wages to the
thousands of laboring men and women
through suspension of manufacturing
and other industries. Six lives have
been lost.
The main financial loss is divided be-
tween the states of Maine, New Hamp-
shire and Massachusetts, and Maine
bears about one-half. New Hampshire
and Massachusetts and Maine bear
about one-half. New Hampshire has
been swept from one end to the other
and heavy losses at Manchester and
Dover will bring the total in that
state closely upon $1,0O0,0OO. Massa-
chusetts, at Lowell and Lawrence and
in the Merrimac river valley, suffers
heavily, but $25O,OOO will probably
cover what she loses.

NEW YORK, March 4.-The World
this morning publishes the following
signed cable from the Duke of Tetuan,
minister Of foreign affairs, dated at
Madrid, Spain:
The resolutions which the congress
of the United States have adopted in
respect to the Cuban instruction are
based on canards spread broadcast
throughout the United states for the
sole purpose of inf1aming the passion
Of the people against Spain and awak-
ening an unmerited sympathy with the
insurrectioniSts.
All the reports of barbarous and I'M
necessary cruelty in the manner of
conducting the war in Cuba are abso-
luteiy false.
thank the World and avail myself
OF the opportunity which it gives to
express my profound regret that reso-
lutions which strain the mutual friend
ship and esteem of the two nations
have been declared by the house of
representatives.

ROSEBERY.

Late Liberal Premier Favors Anglo
American Arbitrat ton.
LONDON, March 4.-The Daily News
prints this morning a letter from the
Earl OF Rosebery. late Liberal premier.
which should have been read at Tues
day nights meeting in Queens hall, in
furtherance of Anglo-American arbi-
trati0n. Lord Rosebery says:
q heartily hope it may be found
practicable to devise some court, or
rather, machinery of arbitration. I
| think the machinery should be perma-
nent, but not the court Of course
there are subjects which it may not
be possible to refer to arbitration.
That need not affect the broad prfncf-
pie The experiment also may fail, but
that is no reason why it should not be
tried.

HUNTINGTON ANGRY.
Letters Bearing the Inscription That
He Would Not Steal Red Hot
stow @.

NEW YORK, March 4.-The World to-
morrow morning viii say:
c. 2. Huntington learned last night of
the seizure by the postoffice department
of a large number of letters mailed at
San Francisco to United States repre-
sentatives ana senators at Washington,
upon The envelopes of Which were
printed the words: &c. p. Huntington
would not steal a red hot stove" 1t was
stated in a telegram that the letters had
been mailed by Mayor Sutro of San
Francisco.
AR. Huntington said: II was informed
some time ago that Mayor SutrO was at
tackiug me through the mails. I took
no action at the time because ! consid-
cred it the duty Of the officials TO act in
the matter.
Circulars 10 congressman denounced
the Union Pacific railroad funding bill

Sutro insists ] am Interested. One state
ment made was that ] v s going to
Washington with $4,000 000.OUy in gold TO
buy up congressman. OF course u g state
ment was all nonsense. I will tell why
Mayor Sutro is lighting me. He tried to
have me extend the Market street cable
road from san Francisco some three or
four miles in order TO increase the Valu-
alton of some OF his apple stands and
other property on the outskirts OF the
CITY. / refused. Then he declared that he
would fight me 10 the bitter end. He is
doing his best. l shall take no part IN
any prosecution for violation Of the
United States law in regard 10 the mall
ing OF letters.

WILD WITH JOY.
How the Cubans Received the News
of the Action of the Senate.

How the Cubans Received the News
of the Action of the Senate
NEW YORK, March A special to
the World from Havana says:
The news of the action of the Uni
ted States congress has penetrated to
every insurgent camp within thirty
miles of Havana, and the Cuban pat
riots are wild with JOY. Comment is
various, depending upon comparative
intelligence. All the rank and file
seem to think President Cleveland con-
ours as a matter of course. All are
iubilant over what they feel to be a
glorious finale The more ignorant
and honest believe that now Spain
must lay down her arms. They cannot
distinguish between diplomatic recog-
milton and armed interference. The less
ignorant think that now cartridges and
rifles will Immediately become plenti-
full and that expeditions from the
United States will arrive daily The
intelligent, or about Is per cent of the
Cuban soldiers, realize that it
will be at least month be-
felt. The feeling among the
common soldiers is that something
great is to happen at cnce. The edu-
Gated leaders are uneasy. They feaI
the effects of disappointment upon the
men when they find that, should 1t be
completed, the recognition OF Cuban
belligerency does not produce lmmedl-
ate and great results in favor of the
Cuban cause To conduct successfully
a prolonged fight with the sword alone
against the finest of modern rifles re-
quires high courage in the Cuban cav
airy. This they have and this is what
the leaders are afraid disappointment
may weaken. The machete must be
depended upon until they get cartridg-
es. These are what the Cuban leaders
want. They have men enough and
guns enough-they want cartridges
And they want their men to keep theil
spirits up until cartridges come
They feel that their agents in
the United States should have
an easier time in sending ammunition
under belligerent rights than without
them. But if cartridges and congress
both fail them they still think Spain
will have to spend more money than
she can get to win the war. The
Spanish troops have not been paid for
three months. They are without
money and there is not sufficient food
to sustain them properly.
This question is not so serious to
the Cubans. for their projects have
been storing up food in safe places for
months and the mountains with their
thousands of cattle are always al
hand. No difference has been seen in
the field movements since General
Weyler assumed charge Vigor in the
| field depends entirely upon the column
commanders.
