o. this State The Florida State law

powered TO pass rules that shall have the

the advice of Secretary of the Treasury
Gage. acting upon the suggestion of Sur
geon General Wyman, the State Board
of Health passed the April LIST rule. and
has since instructed IT'S agents at various

General Wyman made the suggestion
under the opinion that danger from in

He said that should he receive such

THE UNDERWRITERS FATE.
The Tug Struck Heavy and There Are
Fears But Hopes of Her Safety.

Norfolk, Va, March 5.-Absohtely
nothing has been heard here to indicate
that the tug Underwater which left
here Thursday for Havana towing the
derrick Chief is either saved or lost.
The sole reason for fear on her ac-
count is that she must certainly have
encountered the terrible Thursday night
and Friday morning gale off Hatteras.
However the fact that no sign of her or
her tow has been seen by any life saw
ing crew between Cape Henry and Hat
teras is taken as a very favorable sign
meaning that the tug must have outrid-
den the gale. Had she been wrecked
something would have been heard from
her, unless he foundered, which is very
improbable.
The impression at the Merritt Wreck
ing Company's office here is that she has
of course had Il rough trip but will show
up at either Havana or Key West safe
enough. She has not had time, under
normal conditions, to make these ports.
The local office knows nothing of the
tug r crew OF equipment except in Il
general way, as she merely stopped in
here en- route from New York and did
not come UP into the harbor.

Washington, ID. c.. March 5.-The de-
velopments at the State, War and Navy
Department, in connection with the
Spanish situation have divided them
selves into two distinct branches, one re-
lating to the Maine Court of Inquiry
and the other the natural and necessary
steps to place the naval and military
arms of the service on an efficient basis.
Concerning the court and it's work the
information reaching the authorities here
is of the most fragmentary character and
the highest naval officials reiterate that
nothing is at hand to indicate even the
tendency in the report of the court from
what they have thus far received.

TO BUILD A 10000 CHURCH.
Third Christian People on the Eve
of such Undertaking.,

The people of the Third Christian

lot at Twenty-sixth and Marshall streets a
new house Of worship which shall be
large enough for all present purposes of
the congregation. modern in all its APP
pointments, and a thing of beauty.
For a long time the people have been
gradually collecting money and talking
the thing up among themselves. The
church has already a neat but plain house
on a part of this lot which hardly ac-
commodities the attendances on the ser
vices. and It is purposed now to erect
a house In its stead which is 10 cost
$4,000, to tear the old building down,
and erect either two residences in its
stead or a parsonage. The church has
already in bank 1890 on their new
church fund and 1920 pledged. AS soon
as $500 more is raised the work Of build
ing will be begun.
Rev. Mr.. Maxwell, the new pastor, has
taken hold Of this work with great en-
ergy and has spread abroad the hope
among his people that a desire Of their
hearts for years may soon be a splendid
reality.
