Session Over Representation.

CLEVELAND. May 26.-Thero were
stormy scenes IN the Methodist general
conference yesterday. Il was BY ell
odds the most tumultu0us session that
has yet been held. There was a clash
been the ministerial and lay delegate.
and for a time In the afternoon Bishop
Hurst. who was in the chair, lost all
control Of the aascmblago. A dozen
delegates were on their feet at the same
time shouting for recognition or calling
for rulings Of the chair on points Of or
der that had never been heard. and. al
together, the scenes were more exciting
than are usually witnessed In political
conventions.
The contest came over the fourth SEQ.
ton Of the new constitution as reported
bx the committee. When the report
was read an amendment providing for
equal representation Of the laymen In
the general conference was proposed.
In q moment the conference was IN
an uproar, and several hot speeches
were made.
A motion was made 10 table the
amendment, Bishop Hurt who was In
the chair put u and IL was not carried.
Mr.. Ashley, who proposed the
amendment, asked for q separate vote
by ministers and iaymen.
Bishop Hurst said he was too late ~
the motion 10 table had already passed.
Mr.. Ashley, in indignant tones. de-
clared that he made the request before
the motion 10 table was put and that
the chair recognized him then.
The conference was IN a state Of In.
tense excitemcht. The lay delegates
clamored for the recognition Of Mr..
Ashley's protest end ministerial dele
gates shouted points n order and called
for the previous question. Scores q
delegates were on their feet al this tim,
talking and clamoring for recognition
Many bitter things were said and 4
looked for time as II there could Be n,

Finally, however. peace was restorel
by the withdrawal Of the amendment
with the understanding that the who'll

ATROCITIES N cUsA.
Both spanish and IusurEent Foross
Guilty Of Cruel MurderA

TAxPA, Fla, May ga tobacco
merchant who has just returned here
from Havana says Of the situation In
Cuba:
"It goes against the grain 10 credit all
the stories Of atrocities which have
reached Havana from the interior Of
Cuba, but many Of these stories are sub
stantially trno. Every one who has been
able 70 get out into the Geld Of warfare
has brought back confirmation Of the re-
ports which have crept into the city un-
der ground. Some Of those slanghiors
have been wholesale. In some instances
they have taken the form Of executions
without trial, Of one or wo sympathizers
with the rebellion. In others they have
been simply assassinations.
"Theso killings are justified on the
ground that the apparent nonoombat-
ants are such In fact, but are sympa-
thizers with and aiders Of the rebellion
or pillagers and desiroyers Of property.
II is easy to justify these acts. No ma
ton has recognized the belligerency Of
the Cuban rebels.
1T is only Just 10 say that IL Is not
the volunteers more than the regular
Spanish soldiers, who are guilty Of these
excesses. Il Is true also that the shed.
ding Of the blood Of nmcombatants IL
not confined TO the Spanish troops. In
Pinar del Rio there IL revel Of death.
In which Maceo a. well a. the Spanish
volunteers Is a prime figure. The rebel
chief dominates In that province through
fear His edicts have gone forth with
the penalty Of death attached, and vio.
lation Of these edicts have been followed
by fullhegcd punishment. The insur'
gents 1t is said, hang those whom they
condemn rather than put them 10 th'
machcte.
This l. the character Of the war nov
