draw from the race for sheriff.
While l am in no ways to blame for

For Oecupation of Cuba

Plans for the sending of an army Of
occupation TO Cuba have continued to
engage the attention this week of all

War Department. The officers Of the
supply division have been active in get
ting together food and other supplies
for an army Of az least 5000 men, which
the third division OF the general stan
has suggested for Cuba. Practically the
entire work OF obtaining transportation
for such an army between this country
and Cuba has fallen upon Col. George
T. Pond. who has been acting as quar-
termaster general OF the army during
the temporary absence from this city

characterized by IA thorough knowledge
OF the transportation situation. and il
is understood that he has made fun ar
engagements. satisfactory to the general
stan. for a sufficient number of vessels
20 carry the army from Tampa 10 Cuba.
Colonel Pond has been ably assisted by
Major ChamCey ID. Baker. or the
Quartermaster' department. who has
charge Of the army transport depart
ment The difficulty In Cuba began on

The Rev. g. Mott williams. Bishop
OF Marquette. Mich. retorts against the
complaints Of the American accent. %
that even the cultured clergymen OF
England speak the language IN "a man-
ner difficult to understand.
Bishop Williams says;
'Of course. there is an American ac-
cent But there is not only one, there
are many American accents.
''The speech of New York Is not that
OF Boston or Philadelphia. The North
erner can at once tell the Southerner.
and the Eastern man the Westcruer,
from his speech. There are different
intOnatlons and there are different vO-
Cabularies.
The English clergyman IS not easily

that he has a remarkably effective

influence behind Low could not do.
He plucked victory from defeat

if his candidacy would be ineffective
