NINE BELIEVED TO BE LOST,
OF Whom but Three Are Sure Victims in
the Spokane Fire.

Or WhOm but Three Are Sure victims In
the Spokane Fire.
Spokane, Wash, Jan. 26.-Monday
nights fire resulted in the death Of per-
haps nine persons and a property loss
of 100000. The names of those known
to be lost are: Rose Wilson, aged IS;
Rose Smith, an invalid, aged 20 Mrs.
Davies Other bodies are supposed to
be in the building. W. B. Gordon, a
prominent mining expert, his wife and
three children, aged IL, 9 and Z, are
missing, and it is almost certain that the
entire family persisted. Mrs. C. Lewis
is also among the missing. The Great
Eastern block, at the corner of Post
street and Riverside avenue, six stories
in height, and constructed of brick,
caught fire about 11:45 p. m. and in
three hours was totally demolished.
All Of the upper two floors and part Of
the third floor were used for lodging
purposes, and at least $50 people were
asleep in the building when the fire
started. While most of them escaped
with only their clothes 1t is thought a
number perished What makes the hor-
ror greater is that no one knows who is
still imprisoned. AS the people were re-
moved from the burning structure or
escaped themselves they sought places
Of safety. The last persons to leave the
upper floors report forms lying in the
hall and women shrieking in the flames.

\ "
Errand of Hostility.
Washington, Jan. 25.--Within forty
sight hours, for the first time since the
insurrection broke out in Cuba three
years ago, the United States govern
ment will be represented in the harbor
OF Havana by warship. The decision
to send the United States steamer Maine
was reached at a special meeting at the
White House yesterday morning be-
tween the president, Secretary Long,
Assistant Secretary Day, Attorney Cen
eral Mckenna and General Miles, and 1t
is striking fact that with the excep-
ton OF the secretary of the navy and
the attorney general not a member of
the cabinet knew of the presidents in
tention TO take this radical action. 1t Is
not denied, however, that some such
move mas been long in contemplation,
as is evidenced in the following state
ment or Assistant Secretary Day made
yesterday afternoon:
1.-THE sending of the Maine to Havana
means simply the resumption of friend
ly naval relations with Spain. 1t is GUS
tomary Tor naval vessels of friendly ma
lions to pass in and out of the harbors
of other countries with which they are
at peace, and British and German war;
ships have recently visited Havana.
This is no new move. The president has
intended to do it for some time, but
heretofore something has happened to
postpone 1t. The orders to the Maine
mean nothing more than / have said,
and there is nothing alarming or I'M
friendly in them. The Spanish minister
here is fully informed Of what is going
on, and so far as 1 know has not made
the slightest objection to it," Further,
Assistant Secretary Day said that Con-
sui General Lee had not sent for a war
ship.

HE LIED 10 The LIMIT
And Finally Confesses That He Was Guilty
as Charged.

San Francisco, Jan. 26.-Bay confer
ence, the ruling body of the Congrega-
tional church here, met Monday and
expelled Rev. Charles o. Brown, the
unfrocked minister who was afterward
given a church at Chicago. A sensation
was caused by confession and a plea
for mercy from Brown. Browns resig-
nation was sent to the Chicago church
Monday night. He was present and said
the accusation against him was true.
He said he had turned utterly and with
adherence from his sins long before he
was publicly accuesd.
DR.. Brown was charged with criminal
intimacy with Mrs. NJ. A. Stockton and
Miss Martha Overman. both members
of his flock. The minister branded the
accusation as the climax of an au-
dacious Matchmaking scheme. He bold
ly faced his accusers, conducting his
own defense with singular ability. He
repeatedly denied his guilt and stuck to
the denial until now. His conscience
seems to have gotten the upper hand.

Situation i'm the Mill Strike.

Boston, Jan. 25.-The principal events
in the industrial strike in New England
yesterday were-first, the return of the
striking workmen Of the Queen City
mills at Burlington, VT; second, the
strike of those employed in the spinning
department of a mill of the Fall River
Iron foundry, and third, the refusal Of
the Weavers' union of Fall River, by a
vote of III to Ia, to allow the King
Philip mills weavers to strike. The con-
tention in this last incident is the most
interesting. The refusal was given on
the ground that all the other operatives
have accepted the same cut-down of
IL 10 per cent. and such strike would
weaken the union.
