and the Soudan expedition proper has
been brought to a successful close. The
ease with which the result has been

rot yet been decided how many bishops will
be chosen, but the plan recently proposed by
Bishop Walden is meeting with favor. At
present there are fifteen bishops. Twelve are
located In this country, two are missionary
bishops in Africa and India, and two are oc
cupied in missionary work in various coun-
tries.
Bishop Walden suggested that the two mis-
sionary bishops be made full-fedged bishops
and given Episcopal residences in Africa and
India, and that five additional bishops be Gre
ated with Episcopal residences, one to be as
signed to India, another to China, a third to
Japan, a fourth to Europe and the fifth to
South America. He thought twelve bishops
would then be able to perform the work in this
country which is now done by fourteen men,
work. If that suggestion Is followed, five new
bishops will be elected, and the total number
increased to twe0ty-one. Already some lively
electioneering is being done, and when the
voting begins the contest will be spirited.

ONLY JUSTICE WANTED.
United States Has Made No Demands
Upon Spain.

LONDON. May 10.-The Madrid correspond
ent of the Standard says:
senor Canevas del Castillo has publicly
stated that America has not protested against
Spain's right to punish flibusters, but only
against the summary trial. American citizens
are entitled to be tried in the civil courts
under the treaties of 1876 and 1877. The Span
ish government is willing to consider the de-
mand. and has cabled Capt. Gen. Weyler to
delay the executions pending the result of
negotiations which are actively proceeding
between Washington and Madrid to define
the Interpretation of the aforesaid treaties.
''Senor Canoyas made long speech at
meeting of Conservative senator's and dopu-
ties on Saturday eveaing, in which he de-
clared that this vas national question which
must some day be settled With the assist
.nee of all the parties lie declared that it
was impossibIe to introduce reforms into
Cuba before the sit IatiCn there should re sumo
lis normal condit,an. lie confessed his he
lief that war alone would fall to terminate
the insure zion, bat he lelieyed that the in
surgents would become dis s.ouEageu, and that
racial hatred would contribute largely to
cause a cessation OF hostilities. IT, however.
the premier went on, pubis opinion in Spain
should pronounce for more radical and
quicker introduction of colonial home rule,
the Conservative government and party would
willingly resign the direction of affairs into
the hands of those consenting to assume such
responsibilities
"The Epoca government organ) in guarded
language recommends prudence and depre-
Gates demonstrations. 1t clearly intimates
that the government will make another ef-
fort to conciliate President Cleveland by
dering Gen. Weyler to send all the papers
bearing upon the case here for the supreme
court to pronounce upon. The execution of
the sentence would thus virtually be shelved.
The rest of the Madrid papers are OF the
opinion that America has taken an ungener-
Gus position in Spain's difficulties"

SPAIN WILL NOT DE HAsTY.
1t Would Be an Easy Matter to Cause
Complications.

WASHINGTON, May 10.-H any official
news has been received by the government in
Washington today regarding the Americans
captured aboard the Competitor by the Span
ards and condemned by court-martial to be
shot, dilgent inquiry fails to disclose It's
nature. Secretary Olney, to whom a note
was addressed on the subject, replied that
there was nothing new to make public. In
quiry in congressional circles among those
directly interested in the case of one Of the
n-Miton-shows that no additional facts
have been received by them. Senator Pasco
of Florida, who has taken especial interest
in the cases, believes that the Spanish gov
ernment will not be inclined towards hasty
action, as In the present state Of public feel
ing any summary decision by 1t may lead
to serious consequences.
The fact that the Havana officials have
ferred the execution of sentence to Madrid
is a source of qualification to those inter-
ested in the prisoners fate, and inspires the be-
lief that some leniency will be shown. 1t is
not improbable that an effort may be made
in congress during the coming week by res
olution to acquaint the public with the
facts in the case, by calling ON the presi-
dent for information, and requesting him to
teke such sHps as will give the condemned
men a civil trial.

SPAIN BETWEEN TWO FIRES.
POpuIace Urging the Government
ON to Support weyIer

LONDON. May 10.-The Daily News will
say in an editorial tomorrow regarding the
cases Of the Competitor captives at Havana:
1.-THE serious news from Cuba places the
Spanish government between two fires. 1t is
difficult to see how either side can recede.
If the Spanish government sacrifices Gen.
Weyler. 1t will probably have to be prepared
to sacrifice its own life. Public opinion in
Madrid is hardly well enough informed to
promote a repetition of the vigorous case Of
1873. The Spanish ought to dstrust their
own natural ferocity In cases OF this sort.
The butchery of the men of the Virginius,
which many of them applauded in 1873 as
fine and spirited act, was received with hor-
ror throughout the world"

said that he is now encamped at Placetas in

OIL another engagement which Gen. vinclan
pas had with the insurgents in Pinar del

IL Is known that the British consul ,s In
terested IN behalf of the Competitor,s can
uNes sentenced to death. He invokes Glenn
ehcy Ior the prisoners. This action Of tho
BRUSH government In the case has caused a
sensation here, and 1t has been the tonic NJ
comment today by all social classes in the
community. II would be difficult to saw from
any admissions made in official quarters what
erect this new development will have in the
case. mere is a marked absence of irrita-
oiIlty manifested in the comments on the
SUBJECT, and the action OF the British official
seems to be taken in very good part. It is
pointed out that the Intervention of the Brit
ish consul Is couehed in different form from
that OF the United States consulate. and is,
In fact expressed in very friendly terms in
yoking the clemency Of the Cuban authori-
ties. The question Of the execution OF the
captives of the Competitor is recognized to be
one OF the most important which has oc-
CURED since the insurrection broke out Now
that the question has been referred to the
government at Madrid. the situation here has
quieted down. though there Is no cessation
OF interest and discussion of the question.
The attitude of the public is rather one Of
waiting ON the resolution of the Madrid gov
ernment. The waiting is attended by much
impatience and no little anxiety.

wEYLER TALKS OF REFORM.
To BE Inaugurated When the Rebel
lion is Crushed.

BARCELONA, May 1O.-A letter has been
received here from Capt. Gen. Weyler in
Cuba to deputy living in this city. AL
though Gen. Weyler takes liberal view of
the situation in Cuba, and believes that the
rebellion can only be quelled by vigorous
measures, he expresses the wish to complete
the fortified line from Jaruco on the south
ern coast of the island to Moron, near the
northern coast, In the Western portion of
the province Of Puerto Principe. A railroad
ruHs between these two points. Capt. Gen.
Weyler POUNDS great hopes on the completion
of this line. He says that when the rebellion
has been crushed he intends to apply re-
forms gradually. as the insurgents yield, and
as opportunity is afforded to Spain to prove
her chivalrous sentiments. But he will make
no concessions while the rebellion holds its
ground.

ward of st. Stanislaus Polish Catholic church.
THE church had been closed for some time

on account of his deposition of Father Torsk,
assistant pastor. This morning Bishop Rich

priests house. When they essayed to enter
the church, however, crowd OF 1000 had
gathered The leaders declared their deter
mination to keep Father Matkowski out, al
though no objection was urged against the
bishop. Finally. the bishop and priest re-
treated to the parsonage and sent for ths
sheriff and police officers. They were advised
not to promote the strife by trying to enter
forcibly against the crowd. and followed
this advice During the excitement woman
struck out with her parasol and the blow fell.
