that thirty-five men had already left New
York City for Jacksonville and Key West,
were denied today by William j. Lloyd,
assistant superintendent of the Western
Union company.
This story is all nonsense" said Mr..
Lloyd. Some of our eastern officials told
me incidentally yesterday that seven men
had recently been sent from New York
City to Key West on account of the heavy
increase in business at that point result
ing from the destruction of the Maine.
From this the story probably originated.
No men have been sent from here, and
such a move is not contemplated. We
couldn't use that number there anyway.
