will do duty in Long Island City. For years Long
Island City had a paid Department. but because
of a small appropriation the force was reduced ana

system. BY this method about dozen men re-
ceived monthly salaries while others received pay
for the work actually performed by them.
In November Mayor Gleason reorganized the
force. and made It full paid Fire Department 1t

v,ded into battalion districts, known as NO. 30
and No &c. No 30 will be commanded by Battalion
Chief Snow and No 50 by Battalion Chief Lane.

stead Of dismissal they were anxiously waiting
for their pay. None OF the men have received any
salary since being appointed and they Will now
have 10 sue for il. Ii IS possible that the men
dismissed will bring suit against the city for REIN

NO MOTION MADE
 TO RECONSIDER No Attempt to Declare Dr.. Hoss Elected to Bisoprlc as
 Yet.

Baltimore, May 1S.-The general confer ence of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, contrary to expectation, made no att tempt whatever today to reconsider it's &C., tion of yesterday in electing Rev. Drs Nor rison and Candler to bishoprics. The ex- pected action of the body in amending the recommendations of the committee on epis- copacy so as to permit the choice of the third bishop in~the person of Rev. Dr. E. E. floss. of Nashville, who received 129 votes for the place, did not take place. It is said that an arrangement was made during the night by which in order to secure harmony in the church 1t was agreed to let the mat ter stand as it did yesterday when the ses- sion was cut short by an adjournment.
 At any rate when the conference opened this morning Rev. Dr. Hoss positively de- clined to accede to any plan looking to the reconsideration of the vote on the election of an additional bishop. This being the case the conference promptly took up the election of minor officers and on the first ballot chose Dr. Hoss to succeed himself as editor of the Daily Advocate, the off, cial organ of the church, published in Nashville. It then took two ballots in an effort to elect a secretary to the board of church extension, but had reached no con- clusion when the days session adjourned The new bishops will be ordained tomorrow afternoon.

Washington, May 1S-Senor Salvador de Mendonica, Brazilian minister at Washing ton since 1891 today presented his letters of recall, preparatory to being transferred to Lisbon, Portugal. The ceremony which is in many cases little more than an idle form, was in this case remarkable from the magnificent tribute paid to our great re- public by senor Mendonca, whose many years in the consular service has given more abundant opportunity for just criti- cism tllan falls to the lot of most diplo- matic representatives. After the express sion of the usual courtesies the minister said:
 But friends do not part in the solemn hour in which the nation is called to arms with diplomatic forms merely. Moreover my debt of gratitude to your people and government for the treatment which I have received at your hands during a resi- dence of almost a quarter of century, is so great that I cannot take my leave with out expressing to the first citizen of this mighty republic my heartfelt appreciation of your benevolence towards a student of your institutions and an admirer of the high character of your nation.

REFUGEES FROM
 PORTO RICO
Arriving at St. Thomas PenniIess. Spanish Report of San Juan
 Bombardment.

St. Thomas, D. W. T., May 1S--Over thir- ty Porto Riean refugees, mostly women with very little money arrived last night on board the French steamer Rodriguez.
 It is reported that the encouragement of Porto Rico has issued proclamation say ing eight soldiers were killed and thirty four were wounded as result of the bonn bardment of the forts at San Juan by a portion of Rear Admiral Sampson's fleet on May 12. He adds that two guns were dismounted at Morro castle. which other wise was little damaged. He also says the other forts were not much hurt Tn the town one shot, 1t Is alleged, penetrated the palace and the corner of powder house was carried away, but no school children were killed as reported, by the Spanish government.
 The Spaniards as usual claim they won a victory, basing their assertion upon the fact that the American warships departed under fire. But, the refugees say the city of San Juan is still terrorized, It's inhabi- tants being in hourly fear of the reappear- ance of the American fleet and repetl- ton of the bombardment. Therefore peo- pl arc camping in the country out of range of the American guns.
