THE MILITARY ACADEMY.
Win Likely be Located on the Abbay
Tract in the Eastern Suburbs
Of the City.

A. K. Yancey will probably an
nounce Thursday morning the loca-
ton OF the new Military Academy,
Those "who ought to know" have
been locating IL one day, while others
"who ought to know" have been "dis-
locating It." Tomorrow Mr.. Yancey
will have his turn, and will probably
settle the matter definitely. As We
60 to press it looks very much al
though the Academy will be placed
on the Abbay tract, in the eastern
suburbs of the city. Rumors sayi
that Mr.. Yancey can buy the one
hundred and six acres for 5000, and
that property owners in that part Of
the city will contribute $500 toward
paying for 1t.
Mr.. Lee, who has leaee on the
Garth tract, is very much opposed to
the Academy being placed out there
and as we understand the matter
would not sell, and, IS he has the
Garth tract leased till next March, II
is impossible for Mr.. Yancey to place
the Academy there, unless MIR. Lee ID
willing to sell.
We understand that all the people In
the east end Of the city r very
anxious to have the school located
there, while some Of the south side
prefer to have 1t further away from
them. The people of Mexico are moi
particularly interested in the site, ex.
oept they want Mr.. Yancey to locate
1t where Il will be to the best interests
Of the institution. There should be
no criticisms, and there will be none,
