the snow will stay on the ground

of snow will be hail, wind and con

When the oriT from Washington
reached Rear Admiral Bunce that he
continue IN command in the yaru until

cessor IL created a great deal Of gossip
IN the Maynard club and among the
officers on the ships Although Rear

and IL was generally believed that he
would command the squadron OF tho
European station, unofficial information
says that he would b. named as com.
mandant Of the New York yard.
But now IL is believed among the Of.

cided TO await the arrival OF Rear Adj.

termining upon the more important as.

lieved by the friends OF Rear Admiral

suit of the controversy that has been
carried on between tne men. IL (. not

believed In the yard that he neither de.
sires that Schley go to Europe or take

M. T.. CHURCH, SOUTH.
General Conference Takes . Trip TO
Annapolis.

BALTIMORE. MD, May 1.-THE Gen.
eral Conference Of the Methodist Epis-
copal Church, South, adjourned early TO-
day. in order to leave the city for trip
to Annapolis.
At the session at the Fourth Regiment
Armory, communication was read,
which assumed that the United States has
Cuba. or is about to secure IL.
The communication was from Rev. DR..
Lansing Burrows, secretary of the South
ern Baptist Convention. which has just
closed its. session at Norfolk. 1t asks
that action be taken by the conference
similar to the following resolution,
adopted by the Baptlsts:
whereas, religious freedom is a prin-
ciple dear to every true American, and
especially to every Baptist therefore.
Resolved. That this convention re-
spectfully request the President OF the
United States and others in authority
that In the adjustment of political affairs
in the Island of Cuba they use every
proper endeavor to secure equality Of
religious rights to every inhabitant Of
that island"
A resolution was presented and adopt
ed, setting apart Monday, May 18th, as
n day of fasting and prayer for guidance
in the election of>bishops and other con-
nectional officers.
The question of the admission Of
Bishop Wilson, of Baltimore, was indi-
rectly before the conference to-day. The
Bishop had appointed man Sunday
school agent at st. Louis. After the APP
pointment the man continued TO preach
at a church which he had already served
four years. The point was, as to whether
the man was evading the four-years'
limit law. The only way In which
Wilson is concerned is in the possibility
that he may have known such preaching
was to be done when he made the APP
poiniment. The matter created par
liamentary tangle. and was finally re-
ferred TO the Committee on Episcopacy.
The proposal of the, Baltimore Con-
ference to have stewards minutes pre-
scented at annual conferences was re-
jected

TO RESCUE AMERICANS.
Exchange of Prisoners to He Asked
of Spanish.

KEY WEST, FLA, May 14-The United
states warship Uncas, Captain Brainard
left here soon after midnight last night,
Tor Cuba, TO rescue two Americans cap
tured by the Spaniards on Friday. Cor
respondent knight, of the London Times
is aboard the Uncas. and the plan is to
send him ashore. under a flag OF truce,
TO negotiate for the surrender of the pri-
soners. in exchange for two Spanish cap
tives taken on one of the prizes. The
Americans were carried over by a dis
patch-boat on Friday, and were sent
ashore in a small boat, effecting a land
ing near Marlel. AS the boat approached
the land there was no sign of life ashore,
and 1t was thought that the men were
safe.
Dispatches received yesterday told of
the capture OF the men by Spanish SOL
diery almost Immediately after their
landing. and OF their Imprisonment in
Fort Cabanas as spies. Negotiations with
Washington were promptly begun, and
orders dispatching the Uncas on her mis-
sion of rescue came last night from Sec
rotary Long to Commodore Remey.
