Church Kiot. Bat Citt, Mich.. Majr 11. Bishop Richter of Grand Rapids and Father Matkowski, pastor of Saint Stanislaus Polish church of this city, were pounced upon by the Father Turiki faction of the congregation and badly sued yesterday morning. Matkowski was tlrack everal times and bis caafock and surplice were torn to chreda. The bishop waa kicked by an enraged Pole, uut not seriously injured. Hii robes was alto torn. Saint Stanislaus church was closed wo weeks ago, when the adherents of Father Turski, Father Matkowski's a iislant, drove the senior priest from ;he parks It was believed that the .rouble had blown over and that the exposure of Tureki's attempt to black nail Father Matkowski had brought .he Poles to their senses and caused Jiem to desire the return of their old jantor, a man of great learning and ligh character. Bishop Richter and Father Matkowski opened the church yesterday morning and caufed the sex ion to toll the bell. The peals of the ?reat bell brought hundreds of excited oeople to the cliurch. They set upon Bishop Richter and the priest and Jrove them from the building. A few f the MatkowLki faction attempted to preserve the clergymen from indignity, bnt were overpowered. The police and jheriff s force Were called out, but were unable to quiet the mob. The church was locked and Bishop Richter and Father Matkowski's we e escorted to a place of safety. Bishop Richter stated Ust night that he would (men the church next Sunday. He has been assured of police piotection by Mayor Wright. There was a great deal of inflammatory talking in the Polish quarter last night and it is feared that an attempt will be made to burn the church and convent before morning., Turski, the cause of all the trouble, is a young man, only recently ordained to the priesthood. Father Matkowski discharged a housekeeper of whom Turski waa enamored. This caused Turski to attempt to blackmail the venerable priest out of $10,000. He did not get the money, but he spread lo ries reflecting on Father Matkowski's eharacUr. but they were disproved. Last week the new assistant house keeper at Saint Stanislaus swore that Turski bad attempted to out age her. WEUER'S RESIGNATION IN Ordered to Remain at flu Post and Work.

The report that Captain-General Weyler had resigned because of the action of the home gov ernment in the cae of the Competitor ailibusten is true, but it is not accepted with confidence by the public here. It is understood that the government refuse-! to accept the resignation and or dered General Weyler to remain at his post under the present circumstances. Washington, May 12. In tha Com petitor case it can be authoritatively stated that at the request of the United itates the Spanish government will postpone execution of the death sen tence upon American citizens until the ! views of the United States respecting the application to their cases of the treaty of 1795 and the protocol of 1877 can bs presented and considered. The announcement of the postpone ment of the executions means a delay if roane weeks at least, ami that the matter will be taken up by the diplo matic representatives of the United States and Spain and be made the sub ject of t e exchange of correspondence in the interpretation to le given the treaty provisions between the tro na tions. Meanwhile the effect will he to Hay popular excitement, both here nd in Spain. The action of the state dspatment in insisting uon a retrial at least of the merican prisoners is evidently in an- wer to the contention of the court- artial that the Cashing protocol of 1877. did not apply to the present case. SPAIN MUCH tXCITSI). Madrid, May 12. There are evi- ences of growing popular excitement in Spain over the attitude of the United SUtei government toward the question of the nllibtisters captured on board of the Competitor. The riots and out breaks of popular hatred toward the United States at the time of the pan- sate through congress of the resolu tion favoring ";he recognition of the Cubans as belligerents have not been forgotten and the sentiments which caused them are but smoldering. The Spanish government has, on all possi ble i ccasiona, expressed jts apprecia tion of. and satisfaction with, the ef forts made by the United States gov eminent to prevent as far as lay in its power the giving of unlawful aid to the Cuban insurgent citizens of the United States. But the widespread sympathy felt for the insurgents in the United States is well recognized by the Spanish people and the news of expeditions rom the United States landed from time to time in Cuba creates intense rritation. Capk Mat, N. J., May 11. From an ncident which occurred at sea off here oday it may be that the steamship Laurada took no munition of war alioard near New Yorn, but that she received her cargo outside: the three mile li'nit this afternoon. A large teamer was noticed by people on the shore tolay lying to, some miles out and blowing off steam. Closer in shore wan a schooner hove to. This afternoon a tug came djwn the coast from the north and another steamed nut of Deleware hay. The tnrs took the schooner in tow and steamed out where the steamship wab. The tugs and the echnnnci were alongside Uie steamer for a long time, and what was unmistakably a transier of cargo from ie Hailing vessel to the steamship was made. , Alter the transfer had been made the tugs steamed away and the steamship soon disappeared below the horizon, going in a southeasterly direction. SPANIARDS CLAIM Vlt'TOKIKR. Havana, May 11. Colonel Segura reports having had an engagement ith a large rebel force near Ciene- guita, a short distance frome Remedios, in which the insurgents lost eleven killed. The reliels retreated and were followed by the troops. The latter, in their pursuit, met another force of l.fl 0 insolvents under command of Oirrillo. After two hours' fighting the rebels were dislodged from the strong position occupied by them. They left sixteen dead on the field. The troops then attacked a rebel fortilied camp, and dislodged the insurgents, who lost twenty-seven killed. They carried their wounded with them on the re treat. The Spaniards lost in all the engagements one officer and four sol diers killed and two pincers and sixteen soldiers wounded. Insurgents attacked the forts guard ing the town of Artemisa, but were re pulsed. Colonel Solomayer reports that he met the reliels led by I.ato Brothers, who were encamped near Hemates. A hot fight ensued which resulted in the defeat of the insurgents with a loss of twenty killed. The Spanish loss was oie killed and three wounded.

Army officer become singularly reticent and decline to expra themselves the instant crisis arises between the administra tion and any foreign powers, but enough was gathered Monday to know that those of the army stat:oned in New York are not at all uneasy as to the outcome of a war with Spain, or in fact with any ottier power. One pron i nent otlicer d scussed the situation on condition that his name should not be used: He said - "If we should go to war with ipa!n. the United States would have po-sesion of the island of Cuba in a very few days In fact, in my judgment, it would not require any I- nger time than wa necessary foi the fleet now assembling in New York waters to reach Havana with the neces wry forces on board. The Spanish irmy on the island would be between two fires at once and they are having bout al! they wish to do now to keep the Cuban forces out of Havana. As for the Spanish naval forces now in Cuban waters, you, as well as any other man, can see with half an eye that it would not count for two hours against ie fleet of Admiral Bunce now assem bling in New York harbor. No, I do not think the war would be larried by thi country beyond the con fines of Cuba However, that might de pend up in the amount of indemnity this country would think she was en titled to in cae the provisions of the protocol of twenty-three years ago wire violated. If that document was strained In any particular, it might cost Spain ill of her remaining possessions on the western hemisphere. 'The onlv source of danger for a little time would lie in the chance that Spain might take it into her head to bombard ne or more of the minor seaports With forces at command for offensive Dperations, everybody is quite as faniil iar as any army man. In fact the number of volunteers would only be limited by the call issued by the presi dent. We never have depended on a standing army, as you know, and we would not need any in the case of Spain Now if it were England, the case would be vastly different."

Washington, May 14. The river and harbor bill was passed in the senate yeaterday, leaving only three of the an nual appropriation bills to be acted on. These are the District of Columbia bill, the fortification and the general defi ciency bill, but before any of them is tai-en up the Delaware senatorial elec tion cane will have to be disposed of and to that matter today ai.d Friday have been allotted. The amendment wtncb, hail been ottered to the river ana arbor bill yesterday by Mr. Gorman of Maryland limiting expenditures under the bill to ten million daliare, was to day, after a long discussion, laid on the table by a vote of 4i) to 23. An amend ment in the same sense limitin; the ex penditures under contracts to 2J per cent was offered bv Mr. Bate of Ten nessee and met a like fate, and then, iter a somewhat bitter encounter of words between Mr. Allen of Nebraska nd the chairman of the committee on commerce, Mr. hrye ot Maine, the latter made ti e closing speech advocacy of the bill and in response to the criticism passed by it, Mr. r rye stated some facts in illustration of the immense growth of the railroad, river and lake jrnuierce of the United States. The railroad freight, he said, had been cut down within the last twenty years from 3) cents a ton per mile to about three-quarters of a cent per ton per mile and yet the people wanted cheaper freight rates. That requirement could only be met by improving water facili- ie, and for that reason the intelligent people of the United States were every where asking tot river and harbor improvements. The vote on the passage of the bill was yeas 57, nays 9, the senators whe voted in the negative being Messrs. Allen, Nebraska ; Bates of Tennessee, Brown of Utah, Chihon of Texas, Har ris of Tennessee, Hill of New York, Kyle of South Dakota, Smith of New Jersey an Vilas of Wisconsin. The bill as it passed the house ap propriates $10,594,717 and authorized contracts for thirty-two projects in volving an aggregate liability of $51,- 721,210. As it was reported to the sen ate the amount appropriated was $12,- 614,650. The sum was increased by various items put on by the senate, in cluding the provision for the deep sea harbor in southern California. Problbltlonlita Meet. Dkb Moinbs. Ia.. May 14.

The gen eral conference of the Methodist etiurch met at 8 :30 a. m. yesterday, with Biehop Mallaheu in the chair. The reports ol the committee on episcopacy were pre sented by the Rev. Dr. Buckley. Report No. 1 recommended the re tirement of the senior bishop, Thomas W. Bowman, and of Bishop Randolph S. Foster on account of nou-effective-ness. A most impressive sceue fol lowed the reeding of the report. Bishop Foster arose, and amid the most breathless silence, said that be wished to relieve the conferenpe from any deli :acy in acting as their judgment dic tated. He asked permission to lelire. Bishop Bowman also aiked to be re tired, as "I have j ist learned," he said, "that I am non-effective." Rev. George II. Kridgeman offeied a substitute, which provided that Bishop Bowman and Bishop Foster bo not re tired and that the board of bidhops be isked to give them light work. Dr. Bridgeman said the report of the com mittee was unkind. Rev. Dr. J. E. C. Saw yer of Troy said that he hoped the substitute would be adopted The adoption of the commit tee report would be a needless humilia tion to tbe?e beloved bishop who have tone so much for the church. Rev. Dr. James F. Chaffee of Min nesota said that unless the conference wanted to be confronted with propo ?itiona of this kind to limit the terms of the bishops, it must have eomeilnng along this line. ''This is no place for sentiment. We must act according to Dur convictions and retire these men, painful as it may be." Tho discussion of the report waa the feature of the confeiec.ee and all who participated in the discussion spoke in an earnest manner, During the debate much difficulty was had by B shop Mai lalieu in keeping the delegates from ipphuding. He said that the matter under dicugsion was a delicate one, ind he hoped that the conference would refrain from applause, at least, until this particular matter was disposed of. She substitute was tabled and the re port adopted, retiring Bishops Bowman and Foster. COI.OKXD MEN KECOGXIZEO. Dr. Buckley read report No. 2 from the committee on episcopacy. It said that in the selection of bishops there should be no discriminat on on account of race and that the time had now come to elect a bishop of African descent, "The desire for a colored bishop comes from all the colored people of the church. What we want is a black biBh op. not because he is black, but a black bishop, nevertheless." Rev. Dr. E. W. S. Hammond of Lex ington, one of the leading colored di vines of the church, said : "I favor the election of a bishop ol African descent because his work is needed among the blacks of the country. Rev. Dr. Wilson of Baltimore offered the following as a substitute for tl renort: "That in the selection of the bishops the delegates Bhould beuntrauv Dieted, and therefore the race or nation ality of a bishop is not a proper subject for legislation The previous Question was ordered and the substitute tabled. The com mittee report was then passed. Dr. Bucklev read report No. 3 from the committee on episcopacy, which de clared that there snoukl he three more hishops selected. Rtv. John D. Walsh of Kentnckv moved to amend the re port by adding another bishop, provid ing one of these selected ia a colored man. Dr. Little moved as a substitute that the number of bishops to lie elected be two. Dr. P.rietol oi Chicago moved to amend by declaring that there should be no more bishoi s elected. He said that the bibhops bad little work to do. "Uia to the ambition of men who would be bishops," said be, "that this report is to be credited to. They have already figured out when these noble men are to die, and are now figuring on how they can get their plaeen. I hope this conference will Binother this ambi tion that we may have more money for necessary purposes." The previous question was ordered. Dr. Buckley was given the floor and said: "Most of the bishops are old and are liable to die or become incom petent at any time. Therefore I hope you will add at least two bishops to the board." The report was amended by making the number of bishops to be elected two BAD CYCLONE IN TEXAS Visited by a The City of Sherman Twister. ONE HUNDRED PEOPLE KILLED.
