the woman delegate question. It has been
decided thar no nominations will be made,

for whomsoever they please, those first re-
ceving majority being elected. Already

II has not yet been decided how many
Bishops will he chosen. but the plan recent
ly proposed by Bishop Walden is meeting
with favor. At present there are sixteen
Bishops Twelve are located in this coun-
try, two are missionary Bishops in Africa
and India, and two are occupied in mis-
sionary work i'm various countries. Bish-
or Walden suggested that the two mis-
sionary Bishops be made full 1edged B.sn-
ops and given episcopal residences in A.
rica and India. and that five additional
Bishops be created with episcopal resi-
dences. one to he assigned to India, au-
other to China third to Japan, fourth
TO Europe and the fifth TO South America.
He thought twelve Bishops would then he
able 10 perform the work in this country,
which IS now done by fourteen mon. be-
cause they would be relieved of the for
e.gn work. If that suggestion is followed
five new Bishops will he elected and the
number increased TO twenty-one. Already
some lively e.ectoneering is being done
and when the voting begins the contest will
be spirited.

highest temperature ever recorded in
the city to this date, and the highest but
one ever recorded in May.
Southern New England reports show
higher temperature readings than for
many years. Tonight is a regular Au-
gust scorcher, and the prospects are not
encouraging for cooler spell to-mor-
row.

Milwaukee, Wis, May 0.-Expressed

out of the street railway strike were
unfounded. The day was the quietest
Sunday Milwaukee has seen in months.
No cars were run and there was no

number. paraded the streets in the
morning, and in the afternoon, a COM
mittee of the union stated its case TO
the State Board of Arbitration.

The Horaldo compares the offensive

General at Havana with that OF the
British Consul. who made friendly rep

ANOTHER EXPEDITION
Safely Cotton Gut of New York Harbor
Yesterday.


Yesterday.
New York. May 10.-A great deal of
mystery surrounds the movements of
the American steamship Laurada,
which came into port Saturday and an
chored off Liberty Island. 1t was gen.
orally believed that the Laurada had
been chartered by the Cuban junta for
the purpose of conveying another fill
clustering expedition to Cuba.
When the Laurada came into port it
was observed that she was drawing
very little water and was apparently in
ballast The news of her arrival was
soon made known to the Spanish con-
sui general, who hurried to the Barge
Office, where ne is said to have held
conference with United States Marshal
Mccarthy.
Meantime it appears that the consul
general had communicated with his
subordinates, who
KEPT 4 CLOSE WATCH
on the Laurada. They learned that a
lighter. the name OF which could not be
ascertained had made fast at pier No.
!. j
ed the delivery of many boxes and
cases on board the lighter. All this
time a tug was In waiting for the de-
tectives at pier No. 8, East River. At
the Barge office, the revenue cutters
Hudson and Chandler were also under
steam.
After the lighter had received her
cargo she steamed up the river and took
a position off Corlears Hook, where she
anchored. The tug containing the de-
tectives followed in her wake, and lay
in the middle of the river until the
lighter, hugging the Brooklyn shore,
went down the river, passing through
Buttermilk Channel.
AS the lighter was going by Cover
nors Island, by way of the channel, the
tug put back for pier No. 3, where, it
is said. the detectives met Consul Gen
erals Baldesano and Marshal Mccarthy.
They were evidently instructed to
CONTINUE THEIR PURSUIT
of the lighter, as the tug steamed
across the river through Buttermilk
Channel to Atlantic Basin, where the
lighter was found warped to dock.
Her cargo. had been removed.
The tug then proceeded over TO
where the Luarada lay, and dropped
anchor to the south Of Bedlow's Island.
Smoke was pouring from the tunnels OF
the steamship and there was much
hustle and activity on deck. Half an
hour later the Laurada steamed down
the bay and passed out OF Quarantine.
1t is believed that the Laurada VIII
meet some sailing vessel, containing
the lighters cargo, somewhere down
the coast: that the boxes and cases tax
en- aboard the lighter will be transfer

ada. which. with Captain O'Brien or

Washington, May 1O.-If any official
news has been received by the govern
ment in Washington to-day regarding
the Americans captured aboard The
Competitor by the SDaniards and con-
demned to be shot, diligent inquiry fails
to disclose its nature. Secretary Olney
to whom note was addressed on the
subject, replied that there was nothing
new to make public. Inquiry in coI-
gressional circles among thCSe directly
interested in the case OF one of the men
Authorizations that no additional
facts have been received by them.
Senator Pasco, of Florida, who has
taken especial interest in the cases, he
lieves that the Spanish government will
not be inclined
TOWARDS HASTY ACTION
as in the present state of public feel
ing any summary decision by it may
lead to serious consequences. The fact
the Havana officials have referred the
execution of sentence to Madrid is a
source of qualification to those inter-
ested in the prisoners fate, and inspires
the belief that some leniency may be
shown. 1t is not improbable that an
effort may be made in Congress dur
ing the coming week 10y resolution to
acquaint the public with the facts in
the case, by calling on the President
for information and requesting him to
take such steps as will give the con-
demned men a civil trial.
