due east was steered until the ships were
about 1900 yards from the shore, and then,
circling until they headed due west, they
passed, starboard side on, by the forts. The
heavy thirteen-nch guns of the Massachu-
sets and the twelve-inch guns of the Iowa
were ordered to open on the Cristobal Colon,
which was about 1000 to 1000 yards inside
the Moro, while the New Orleans's large
caliber guns were to open on the forts so
as to draw their fire. The narrowness Of
the harbor entrance and the speed OF the
ship, which made ten knots allowed the
Cristobal Colon to be a target for only a
few minutes. In that time it is believed

ing member of that conference. He had been
in feeble health for several years and his
death was rot unexpected. With his death

Catholic Cemetery.
DR.. Thomas was a Southerner by BIRTH
He was born Dec u, 1910, at Raymond
Kinds county, Mississippi. When a boy he
attended Mississippi College at Clinton and
from there entered the State University of

let's Point. L. l., which have been at Tam
pa. have left that place for Key West. All
their implements, tools and working para
pnernalia are at the latter place, and the

than this the officials say that up to this

parture of the engineers from Tampa forms
the basis of the statements made that
