SAN Francisco, March a.-The Con-
gregational council has declared Rev.

but has censured him for unminsterial
conduct As the council apologies for
the censure DR.. Brown considers his
vindication complete. DR.. Browns
explanation Of the payment Of $500 to

and Miss 0verman's strange story Of
love and blackmail is given passing
comment. The council, which has been
investigating the charges against DIR.
Brown for the past month, late last
night made public its report.
DR.. Brown met his congregation last
night, and the report Of the council
which tried the pastor was read and
received. The smoothness of the meet.
ing was suddenly married when mem.
Der of the church named James offered
q significant resolution, as follows:
That the interests Of this church and congre-
cation will be best served by pastor whost
name and reputation have never been called
into question
Immediately there was buzz Of ex-
element and the noise became so great
that an attempt was made to clear the
room of strangers DR.. Browns friends
rallied to his aid and the resolution
was tabled indefinitely. The meeting
then adjourned.

The Recent Battle in Cuba an In
surgent Victory.
THREE EXPEDITIONS FOR CUBA.


New YORK, March 20-The Cuban
insurgents have dealt Spain crush
ing blow. Trustworthy information
has been received from Havana that
the battle fought few days ago in
Pinar del Rio, which the dispatches
sent out with the sanction Of the press
censor described as q Spanish victory,
was, in reality, lamentable defeat
for the forces Of Gen. Weyler. This
news reached Havana yesterday and
was sent to this city in q brief cipher
cablegram. The source OF the informa-
ton leaves no doubt of its relia bility.
The Spanish officials will not permit
the report Of insurgent success to be
sent out of Havana. 1t is expected
that the details OF the battle will be
smuggled over to Tampa and there put
on the wires. 1t is the firm opinion in
this city among persons informed OF
events in Cuba that the Spanish cause
Is lost. 1t is believed, despite denials,
