CUBAN AMAZON CAPTURED.
Isabel RubiO wounded i'm Skirmish
and Taken by Spaniards.

HAVANA, Feb. 15-It is announced in
Spanish circles that Senorita Isabel Rubio,
who is described as amazon, was cap
tured after being wounded in a skirmish be-
tween a detachment of Spanish troops and
some insurgents in the province of Pinar del
Rio. Senorita Rubio, it appears, joined the
insurgents at the invitation of the late
Antonio Maceo. She is said to belong to a
prominent family.
Generals Bernal and Marina will sail for
the province of Santiago de Cuba in a few
DAYS. The generals will take with them nine
battalions of infantry and four squadrons
of cavalry from this province. Senior Juan
Ramirez, a man of prominence and a form
err leader during the ten years war, and
Senior Lopez Chavez. brother-in-law of the
president of the Cuban republic, Senior
Bartolomo Masso, embarked yesterday for
Puerto del Padre, on the northeast coast
of Cuba.
Spanish reports say General Marco, oper-
ating in the CONFERENCE.-The district with SO
Spanish infantry, 1913 cavalry and two guns.
during the last five days, has destroyed the
camp of the insurgent general Calixto
Garcia The insurgents are said to have
left fifteen men killed and to have retired
with additional loss. The Spanish troops, it
is added, had five men killed and five Of
ficers and forty-four soldiers wounded.

c. 0. BROWN EXPELLED.
Deprived of Fellowship in the Com
EregatiOnaI Association.

CHICAGO. Feb. &c. o. Brown, pastor
of the Green-street Congregational Church.
was deprived of ministerial fellowship and
his name erased from the list of members
by the Congregational Association yester-
day afternoon in the y. M. C. A. lecture
hall. This action was taken after Dr.
Brown had demanded forgiveness as a
matter of legal and inalienable right
coupled with the threat that he might go
back to San Francisco and rend in twain
the First Church of that city. For half an
hour he stood before the association, read
ing carefully prepared demand not only
for forgiveness, but for restoration, be-
cause he had confessed his sin. DR.. Brown
his wife and two sonds and the members of
his church who were present took the ac-
ton of the association extremely hard. Two
or three minutes after the adjournment,
but before the crowd had begun to move,
DR.. Brown made an Angry verbal assault on
DR.. Adams. of the Advance. lie pointed at
him and exclaimed in loud voice: You
know very well you told me you had been
covering up a stencil in the Advance office
for years You need not shake your head
at me. You will hear from this again, you
may be sure. All this afternoon two men
have sat in this association who have
talked to me by the hour about their having
paid blackmail for years past" DR.. Browns
eyes flashed fire, and his voice rolled
through the room like thunder, but no one
took any notice of him.. Mrs. Brown was
more quiet, but wept freely, and remarked
that such proceeding made more infidels
than Bob Ingersoll ever could. The other
members of the church contented them
selves by remarking that the church would
cling all the more clJsely to DR.. Brown. AS
for the leading members of the body, such
as DR.. Noble, DR.. Adams and Dr. Water
man, they expressed themselves as deeply
grieved but perfectly satisfied that the as
ISOLATION had taken the right course This
seemed the almost universal sentiment
among those present.

A PROGRESSIVE SCHOOL.
The Latest Addition to the Facilities
of Culver Academy.

Special to the indianapolis Journal
CULVER, Ind, Feb. 15.-There is at least
one school in this country that appreciates
the value of health, yigor and strong in
dividuality, and it is located in Indiana
-Four years ago, through the generosity and
philanthropic spirit Of the late Fl. Fl. Culver,
known to many as 1.-THE boys friend" a
military school was established on the
banks, of Lake Maxinkuckee in. Marshall
county. Its debut into the school world was
unostentatious, but it was founded on the
broad principles of doing good TO mankind
and was backed by man who never con-
sldered what such an enterprise would cost
III dollars and cents, but who was deter
mined, at any cost, to provide a means of
the best possible education for the boys of
his country. Mr.. Culver was won't to say:
What boys need most Is good health, prac-
tlcal educations and strong characters
with these faculties and the push that must
be put into them their lives will be success
ful. A school based on such principles
could not fail, and the school to-day is lust
what might have been predicted at it's in
ception, Il magnificent success. It's growth
mas been phenomenal; enjoying, as it does
an enrolment of one hundred and fifty-four
cadets, and including among it's officers and
instructors men OF rare ability and adapt

other in rapid succession, until the academy
Is Wen near complete in every detail. 1t is
school of enterprises. 1t is a school Of
practical and rational methods. 1t strives to
EDUCATE The whole boy, morally, mentally
and physically.
The last addition to its long list of i'm
provements is a riding hall Of mammoth
proportions and beautiful architecture This
building was erected for the accommoda-
ton of the famous Black Horse Troop
soWned by the academy. The building is
constructed of stone, brick, steel and slate

equipped building of the kind in America
Medallions of black horse heads project

State League Being Organized.

Special 10 the Indianapolis Journal.
ANDERSON, Ind. Feb. 15.-H. 5. Mote,
of Hartford City. protector of the new In
diana baseball league. was in the city to-
day interesting men of finance in putting
an Anderson team into the field. He was
in conference with Cal Mccullough, presi-
dent of the old league. Mote started a
company at Alexandria this afternoon, get
ting about 500 pledged, and he claims he
has Kokomo Elwood and Marion also or
ganized. Anderson and Muncie are to COM
plete the circuit A meeting for league or
ganization is to be held at once. All of the
cities are within twenty miles from Elwood
central point, and less than forty miles
from extreme ends of the circuit. The
league Is to have $500 salary limit and
the season is to open May Is and close Sept.
~ making 1O4 games. All of the cities but
alexandria are over 1900 population. and
Ine SIX would furnish q population of about
iOV,OUO people to draw on. The fact that
factory workers make up a large per cent.
OF the population makes it probable that
league thus formed on low salary and short
Jumps would prove paying one. All of the
cltles named have much good local talent,
great deal OF which could be utilized AL
most all of. the cities have good ball parks.
Anderson Marion and Alexandria are con-
nected already by electric lines, and Elwood
ana Muncle are to be this spring.
