OF NJ. [. MINISTERS
CONFERENCE, WHICH IS BEING
HELD IN BREwTON, WILL
PROBABLY BE BROUGHT TO
A CLOSE WITH ANNOUNCE
MENTS.

Bishop Kilgo, who is presiding at
the South Alabama Methodist Con-
ference at Brewton, Is expected to
make the announcement Of the as
signment of ministers when the con-
ference convenes for probably its
final session today, and it is said that
this will be one Of the final proceed
ings. It is expected that directly
thereafter the conference will come to
q close.
Pensacola Methodist churches are
among the most important stations of
the entire district, and in the past
they have been supplied by some Of
the ablest ministers in the conference.
The bishop Of course is expected to
follow the course which has in the
past been followed, and the assign
ments Of today are expected to pro-
vide at least two of the best-known
and most capable ministers for the
First Methodist and the Gadsden
Street Methodist churches, respective
ly. Had Pensacola Methodists have
had a say-so with authority in the
matter, there would probably be no
change Of the ministers who are leav-
ing after valiant four-year service
In each church. The rule, however,
will likely not be deviated from in
this instance, and Revs. Mr.. Holt and
Mr.. Peterson will probably be as
signed to a different but important
field OF labor, and the Judgment Of
the bishop and his cabinet will be
anxiously awaited in Pensacola by a
large number.

the near future. All returned loud in
their praise shown by the Melville

to meet the offer of the Camp Wal

ladies claim they had to put on ex-
ira speed because Of having to wait
on two gentlemen Of the committee to
eat breakfast, such an instance can
not be passed over without notice.

AUSTRO-ITALIAN AGREEMENT

Press, Politicians and Public of Rome
 Are Interested.

Rome, April 25., via Paris-The press, politicians and public are dis cussing with the most lively interest the p nalofr an 4hUUS.e(1tf
 the plan for an Austro- Italian agree ment reported to have been presented by the German ambassador, Prince von Buelow, in the original negotia- tions on this subject. This plan, as set forth recently by the Avanti organ of the Socialists, who favor neut1 al- ity, prvide among other things for recognition of the reciprocal interest of Italy and Austria in preserving the triple alliance and for territorial con- sessions by Austria.
 Criticism of any such agreement is widespread, on the ground that the precise concessions which Italy would receive were not set forth with suf- f1cient clearness. The opinion is ex- pressed that so long as Austria retains her present territory on the eastern coast of the Adriatic, with Pola, Cat taro and 5000 Dalmationa Islands which some naval experts have com pared to six hundred dreadnoughts- it will be impossible to reach a set clement.

ATTEMPT TO SMUGGLE
 CONTRABAND FOR GERMANY.
Seventy Truck Loads Held Up By the
 Police at Naples.

Naples, April 25.-The police dis covered today an attempt to smuggle out of the country large quant1y of contraband goods which appartne1y were intended for Germany. Seventy trucks loaded with merchandise were brought into Naples from some point to the north. The goods were placed on the steamer Cornello Scutto and were said to be intended for ship ment to Venice. In reality, the po- lice say these goods were to have been shipped to some Austrian port and thence forwarded to Germany.
 The goods in question consisted chiefly of cloth for the manufacture military uniforms, amounting in value to $600,000. There was also a large quantity of shoes and overcoats.
 The police were unable to procure evidence sufficiently strong to justify the confiscation of the cargo and ac- cordingly decided to place on board the vessel officials who would see that the goods actually were taken to Venice. When his decision was made known to the captain of the vessel he declined to set sail and unloaded the cargo.
 The police also sequestered 300 hogs heads from America, labelled resin, but actually containing beans. These hogsheads were consigned to Ger many.

British Warship Triumph Opened Fire on Turkish Trenches in the Western End of GaIipoIi Peninsu- lar at Range of 1000 Yards.

On Board the Battleship Triumph at the Dardanelles, via Malta. April 25.- The Triumph entered the mouth of the straits and opened fire with her 7.5 inch guns on one of the Turkish trenches on the western end of the Gallipoli peninsula at range of 1000 yards. After half an hours battle the ship proceeded farther into the straits in order to search the trench from another point. She came under the fire of howitzer battery on the Aai- atic shore.
 This battery dropped about 16 shells around the Triumph in a quarter of an hour. Three shells struck the ship but inflicted only trif1ing damage. Two men-a stoker and bluejacket-were wounded severely, although not dan gerously by a shell which lighted on the bridge and fell through to the deck below.
 The guns of the Triumph were able to silence the Turkish battery in a few minutes after it was located Although the date of the incident de scribed above is not specified, it is probable that this action occurred dur ing one of the intermittent battles o1 the Turkish positions have been re- ported frequently of late.
