IPlcal parties , nnd I entreat } ou not to for
get nt this moment what should be the
fctandnrd of our future , doings The dang r
that thrcatc'iia us Is more showy than real ,
because the genuine majority ot Cubans wlli
forever remain under the glorious banner ol
the clvlll/Fd discoverer of Amcilcn
"I do not deny that my mind was gloomy
a few days at Matan/as , when I saw the
names even to our horses' lioofs I do not
nleny my great * , oirow whsn towns perish J
confess that It the enemy had attempt d to
resist there would have been citiel punlsh-

decided to return to Havana to conduct opei-
0110115" from here Dut , gentlemen , I was
disheartened at the thought that 1 had fallen
under your displeasure Dut upon arriving
hero I taw that I was assured of } our uncon

Miss O\crnian , a } oung woman trom Tacomn
who NlaltoJ at his house. Tlie First Congre
Rational church Is the laigest nnd mo t fash
tenable one of that d nomination In the
city. Mra Davidson , who Is n woman abou
CO yoirs ot ago , came here during the Mid
wlnfcr fair ns representative of a Hoston
corset firm , and lately conducted a coise
store of her own lierc. Sh has nUendei
Dr. Urcwn's church for about a } oar , niu
hni taken a great Interest In church matters
Mlsj Oveiman came hero from Tacoma to
her health , and \lslted at the. house of Dr
Drown , whosa family she knw In Tacoma
After a Btay of sievetal months , durlni
which time she becarno acquainted with Mrs
Davidson , Miss Overman returned to Taccma
but came back to San Francisco when Mrs
Davidson promiseto ! secure employment to
her.
According to Dr Drown , Mrs. lavld oi
cam" to him last No\ ember at the tlnu
when there was Intense excitement In th
city over the exposure cf several old met
\.ho lud been debauching jonng girls , anil
told him ulie had be-n commissioned by Mrs
Jan Ell/abeth Baddln , a lodging- house
keeper , to demand $2,000 don und ? 100 s

Intimacy with Ml s Overman exposed Mrs
Davidson said that Miss Overman had c = n
Ildol In her , and would testlfj against him
and that Mrs Daddln Knew that he had oc
cupl d a room In a lodging hou e with a
> oung woman. Mrs Davidson pointed out tc
him that owing to the state of public feellnp
almost mi } thing that witnesses would swca
to woulu be believed , and advUed him tc
settle at cnce.
Dr. Drown was horrified at the nature o
the charges brought agalnbt him and saw
no means of escape. He succeeded , however
In reducing the figuto to $500 down and $3.
a month for live jears He paid Mrs Da
\ldson $500 , for which she signed a receipt
After pro Ing over the m-ney Dr. Drown at
tempted to nnd Mia lUJdln. but withou
success ; Plnally ho met Mlsa Ovuman , whc
wa stopping with Mrs. Davidson , and re
proachcd her with her perfidy. She indlg
nantly denied that she had made any charge
an * when confronted with Mry Davidson de
nomiced the \vrmin as Infamous Miss Over
man Immediately left Mrs. Davidson's house
and went to the home of Dr. Drown , vvhcu
she Is now under the protection of his wife
Then the minister consulted with the deacons
of the church , and the result Is the art's
of Mrs Davids-Mi.
Both the minister and Miss Overman den }
that them l the slightest foundation for tin.
chargpj Mrs. Davidson , when seen after her
arrest , said that Dr. Drown called on li.r
several months ago and voluniailly con
fesbcd his love for Mltu Oveiman. He asked
her" novice , and she- told him t > Fever hit
relations with the girl at once. Miss Over
man , she says , al"3 confessnl her lo\o fcr
Dr. Ill on n , and that he had promised to
pay her $35 a month A few days after
this , Mrs. Davidson pajs , Dr. Drown handed
her ? 3j to gl\n to MlM Overman , saying he
had promised to pay her that amount foi
ton months Some time ag : a btrange wo
man , who called hoi self Mrs Daddln , call d
on Mrs Davldi-u and bald she Knew of Dr.
Brown's Intlmacj with Miss Oveiman , anO
cemanded $10,000 as the price of her ellence
About six weeks ago she sent for Dr. Drown
and told him of Mrs Daddln's demands.
Ho said : "It Is all true , and more , too "
Mm , Davidson contlnu d. "Ho refused to
see the woman , and anked me ti handle the
basin iis for him. He wlcl 'You have our
hearts' secrets , ' and told me eveiythlng. Dr
Drcv n said he coul.3 not pay her $10,000 , but
would pay $5,000 , with ? 300 down and the
rest at the rate of $35 a month. Dr. Drown
paid ho would leave San Francisco within
tin ee months , nti ho had calls from Congre
gational churches In Brook ) } n and Philadel
phia "
Ne\t day she paid the $300 to Mrs. Dad-
din , who said she was going to leave town ,
but would return each month for the $35
Mrs Davidson sus Dr. Drown has paid $35
for Miss Overman In August , September , Oc-
tob r , November and December. She con
cluded her statement b } paying : "I have
kept this secret for the sake of the church ,
for tlis- saKe ot Miss Overman and Dr. Drown ,
but the truth must be told , and I am sorry
I am obliged to divulge thes > things. "
The Chronicle sat' . "Miss Overman Is a
till young woman , with ic.I hair nnd blue

Mittie Overman is hei maldn name. Soin
months ago she came to the Chronicle and
offered a story on a prominent man for
$1,000. SI'o is not particularly good looking ,
but Is an intciOJtlng talker. So far the
police hav failed to find any trac of Mrs.
Biiddln or the lodging house which , she IE
