Warren A. Candler, of Oxford. Ga tnd the Rev. Dr. H.

Morrison, of Nashville. were elected Bishops of the Methodist Episcopal Church. South, to-day by the General Conference In session here. It Is raid to bare been the roost exciting: election ever held by the Conference. Only two ballots were taken, but a large proportion of the delegates were of the opinion that the Rev.

E. E. Hoes, of Nashville, was also elected. The discussion on this point was lively. The whole number of votes cast on the second ballot was 255, and Bishop Wilson, who was presiding, announced that 128 were required to.

elect. Dr. Candler received 148. Dr. Morrison 140, and Dr.

Hoss The Conference had started out to elect only two Bishops. This limit was determined upon several days ago. As soon as Bishop Wilson announced that Dra. Candler and Morrison had been elected there was a storm of protests. It was claimed that Dr.

Hoss bad also been elected. Motions were offered thick and fast. Substitutes and amendments wen tacked on. Questions of order and privilege filled the air. Frequent motions to adjourn wert made.

The confusion grew. Only men with stentorian voices bad any chance at all, either of recognition by the chair or of hearing by tbe Conference. The struggle was ended by a vote to adjourn In the midst of business. The effect is questioned. Some claim that Dr.

Hoss ha been elected, and others claim not. It la generally agreed that Drs. Candler and Morrison were elected. Delegates are freely predicting1 that Dr. Hoas will be elected tomorrow.

The method of accomplishing this will be either a reconsideration or as a special new action to be taken by toe conference. The mere mention of it Is expected to arouse a lively parlia-mentary skirmish. Dr. Candler Is forty-one year of age, and was born In Georgia. He was graduated at Kmory College when nineteen years of age.

1896, by the Associated Press On board the Associated Press dispatch boat Kate Spencer, off Havana, May is. via Key West. May 17. The ships of the American blockading squadron are keeping a vigilant watch for the appearance of the Spanish fleet and will not be taken by surprise should the Spanish men-of-war round Cape Antonio, the westermost point of Cuba, and swoop down upon Havana, All mr ships have been warned by Commodore Watson of the possibility of such a move and sailors are kept constantly In the tops, where they can sweep the horizon for thirty miles, looking for the first sign of a hostile ahlp. All the naval officers on the blockade station are- anxious for a meeting with the Spaniards, and when Informed that the latest reports placed them off the coast of Venezuela they Jubilantly declared that the enemy oould be hemmed In between the Windward Island and the Yucantan channel, to be destroyed.

The only fear expressed was for the safety of our ships blocking Clenfue-gos. But they do not doubt that precautions have been taken for tbe safety of the ships now on the southern coast of Cuba. The torpedo-boats and fast yachts of the auxiliary fleet keep the blockading ships in constant communication with Key West, whence the movements of vessels are being directed. General opinion Is that there will be no movement of the army in the direction of Cuba so long as the Spanish fleet remains in American waters, or un-til It is met and beaten. The blockade of Havana has been maintained without incident since the Conde Vehdito and Legazpt attempted to draw our ships under the big guns of the Santa Clara battery on Saturday evening.

FRENCHMAN IGNORED THE FLAG. Tbe French frigate Dubourdleu. which entered Havana harbor a week ago after an unpleasant incident which necessitated the firing of two shots across her bows before the Frenchman would show his flag, passed out this afternoon at about 4 o'clock headed northwest. The Dubourdleu is a long school ship, carrying six-Inch and five-Inch guns and one-pounders, besides two torpedo tubes. -The Mayflower ran close enough to the frigate to establish the Frenchman's identity and then stood off.

Our flag was not saluted. The Dubourdleu. like her French sloop-of-war Fulton, had on board many refugees She Is bound, probably, for some Mexican port. The activity along the coast continues. Squads of Spanish cavalry and parties working upon fortifications have been seen dally along the shores; but they have not been molested.

Orders have been given not to expos the small vessels of the squadron to unnecessary danger. York manager of the Haytien Cable Cov, forbidding the sending or receipt of any messages, except official messages to or from the United States Government, disclosing tbe movements of our fleets and ships. The manager answered this morning that the inhibition would be strictly observed. If Admiral Sampson Is In Haytien waters, as Is conjectured, then this cable restriction makes it impossible for his movements to become known except to the Government, or. If known.

It Is Impossible to send out the Information except through the Government Gen. Greely also telegraphed the Anglo-American Cable Co. this morning, further Inviting attention to the prohibition against any messages Inimical to the Interests of the Government, and In particular forbidding the receipt or sending of messages disclosing the movements of our ships or prospective military movements. This latter sfep was taken in view of the notice of the Anglo-American Telegraph Co. that, "pending further decision by the chief signal of ficer, we will accept press messages without restrictions.

The orders to these two companies were sent- as the channels of communication under their control seem to be, for the moment, the ones through which the Spanish Admiral and the Spanish authorities at Madrid and Havana are mostly likely to secure information as to our vessel movements. While It was not suspected that spies were sending direct information, yet the transmission of press dispatches on vessel movements was looked upon as likely to indicate to the Spanish with sufficient certainty the general whereabouts and purposes of our fleets. The precautions taken. It Is believed, will so restrict this character of cable Information to the Government and the fleet commanders that the Spanish authorities from now on will be cut off from all knowledge of our naval and military plana A Naval Family.

18S8. by the Associated Press. Key West. May 17. The United States cruiser Wilmington, Commander Todd, when about thirty miles east of Havana yesterday, fired four shells Into Spanish trap.

In the sha'pe of a derelict, sinking It and thus doing away with another piece of Spanish trickery. The commander of the Wilmington had been warned' by dispatch-boats that some dangerous wreckage waa drifting about the spot mentioned and tbe cruiser steamed tn that direction to investigate the reports. An old Spanish schooner, with her deck loaded to the rails with rusty Iron, car wheels, closely packed together, was found floating In the track of torpedo-boats and dispatch-boats. The iron-laden schooner had evidently been sent out of Havana harbor In the hope that a torpedo-boat or small craft of the blockading force would crash into It and be so damaged as to cause her to sink. As wires were noticed around the Iron rails on the schooner, Commander Todd believed the Spanish trap might aUo contain explosives and, therefore, laying off a considerable distance from her.

his guns promptly sent her to the bottom. Another commission from Gen. Maximo Gomes, the Insurgent commander-in-chief, arrived at Key West to-day. Mr. John F.

Mr. Jova succeeded In reaching the camp of Gen. Gomes and has brought back dispatches from the latter to Commodore Watson. He reports that Gen.

Gomes and tbe several thousand troops with him are In the best of spirits and hopeful of a speedy ending of the present situation. Mr. Jova also reports that Span, lsh troops are moving westward, keeping in tonicities.

MUCH FEELING STIRRED UP. Copyright. 1898. James Gordon Bennett. Tampa, May 17.

Special. The First and Tenth cavalry arrived here from Chlckamauga Monday afternoon. Within a few hours of their arrival the Tenth cavalry, composed of colored men, but with whit officers, had' two of Its privates locked up in the town Jail charged with Shortly after the Tenth cavalry had gone Into camp several privates were given leave to visit the town. At o'clock seven or eight of them en-tered a white barber shop in Kentucky avenue and demanded to be shaved. They were told that the custom of colored men was not desired.

This made them exceedingly angry, and they went away threatening vengeance. A few minutes later they returned and broke a large window In a drug store adjoining the barber shop. When a crowd ran up to ascertain tbe cause of the row the colored men ran up the street and commenced firing in the direction of the drug store. Five or six shots were fired. Juab Collins, a carpenter, forty years old, fell, shot through the right side of the body and died almost Instantly.

As soon as the shooting ceased the colored troopers scattered in different directions, Lieut Reslnger, of the Tenth cavalry, was on horseback In a side street at tbe time. On hearing the shots he rod hurriedly in their direction, and while he saw a number of. negro soldiers running away, he was unable to overtake or Identify any of them. After the snooting was. over a loaded Colt's revolver of forty-five calibre was found in tbe streets.

As Collins waa shot with a thirty-eight calibre bullet, such ss fit pistols used by cavalry soldiers. It Is evident that Collins was not shot with the pistol, although It is thought the pistol belongs, to one of the riotous soldiers. Lieut. Reslnger met a negro private named John Toung of Troop Tenth cavalry. In the street an hour later and noticed that his pistol holster was Young declared he had lost 1C Lieut.

Reslnger ordered him to camp, and he decided that he would be Justified In' placing the man under arrest. He reported the matter, and Young was surrendered to the civil authorities. Isaac Johnson, of Troop F. Tenth cavalry, was. also arrested on suspicion and locked up with Young, and tbe Coroner was summoned to-day and began an in-' vestlgation of tbe case.

Tbe prisoners were brought in, guarded by a number of soldiers from the First catalry, as threats of vengeance had been made by a number of cltlxens. No demonstration was made, however. The Jury found that Collins bad died from a pistol shot, and recommended that Young and Johnson be held to await tbe action of tbe grand Jury. During the exoitenient immediately following tbe shooting threats were made against the colored troops. It being thought that tbe soldiers from the Tenth cavalry bad threatened to come Into town and make further trouble.

Sixth and Walnut streets. Considerable delay was caused by Inability to gain access to the armory. Qor. Bradley authorised Col. Cohn to muster In tbe company last night at tbe armory, but CoL Cohn presented his order from the Governor at the armory -about o'clock and was met by MaJ.

James P. Gregory and Adit. James B. Smith, who told him that Col. Castle-man and Mayor Weaver had decided not to open the armory.

CoL Cohn then made an announcement to the crowd of volunteers, who crowded about the armory steps far out Into the street. There was considerable murmurm; of disappointment and many i suggestion a to the causa -of this action. On man exclaimed: "Whailen has got In his work again; it's all his fault" There wa a slight disposition to resent the action by cries and exclamation. Reuben Buckley was active In the crowd and restrained the men. They wr all directed to repair to Lb McKlnley Club headquarters, on Jefferson street, between Fourth and Fifth, where a council of war was presumably -to held.

When the crowd reached the club only the original signers of th petition, were admitted to the hall. It was soon understood that CoL Cohn had telephoned to the Oovcrnnr for additional order. Meantime, about a hundred men crowded around the doors and tried to get in. About o'clock everybody waa directed to go to Llederkrans HalL CoL Cohn said he had nothing to say about th matter further than that he had not been allowed to muster tn the company at the armory, and that the Governor had authorised him to muster In the company at any place he decided upon with directions to report to him. The work of enlisting the.

men was slow, but finally thirty-six men were secured. The -other fourteen on th original list were absent, probably because they'bad not heard of the change.
