WARNING TO FISHING COMPANY OF
 PENSACOLA.
Advises Concern to Avoid Waters of Mexico on Account of Excited Condition of the Diaz
 Government.

Pensacola, Fla, May 20.--(Speoial)- The Mexican Government which re- gently seized several fishing vessels, one of which was from Pensacola, seems to be very much concerned over a report which has reached that country that fishing vessels are being fitted out at Pensacola to fish in Mex ican waters, and has issued warning through the American Ambassador at Mexico that 1t will allow no poaching inside It's waters
 The Warren Fish Company has re- ceived d telegram from Secretary of State Elihu Root conveying the warning and suggesting that if vessels are pe- ing fitted out that they avoid Mexican territory. The telegram was as fol- lows:
 "washington, May 19. Warren Fish Company, Pensacola, Fla {;
 Department has been informed Dy our Ambassador to Mexico that Mexican Government is concerned over report that other fishing vessels are starting for Mexican waters. Ambassadors sug- gests that fishing companies be warned to avoid Mexican territory, as that Gov ernment will not tolerate poaching within their waters. Elihu Root"
 The Warren Fish Company has an- nounced that none of it's vessels are preparing to leave here for Mexican territory, and that 1t has no idea Of poachinS. One of the company's ves- sells is still at Progresso in charge of the Government. it having been seized several weeks ago, and the case has l never yet been settled. The manager of l the company declares that none of it's vessels has ever fished in Mexican ter 1 ritory. and that 1t does not propose to start the practice now. It is probable that before the case is settled that the question of bounda- ries will receive some discussion. and may become an international question. It Is understood that the Mexican Gov ernment claims Jurisdiction over waters further than one league from shore.

All Those Who are Interested In
the UpbuIIding Of Our
Public School.

The crying need Of the moment
Is a sidewalk, and good one, in
front of our public school, and the
only way to get 1t is by public sub
scription. Ere long one or two of
our good citizens Will call on the
patrons and others interested for a
small contribution with which to
build 1t. A nice walk, similar to
the one in front Of the Presbyterian
church, can be built for a cost not
to exceed $3.50, and this amount
eau easily be made up II each pat
ron will contribute little. I am
sure we would all rather give sew
enty-6ve cents or a dollar toward
this fund than to see our little ones
wade through a lot of mud and
slush and track 1t into the school
room with them. The argument
that the town should build the
walk Is good one, but you can't
build sidewalks on air. So Il we
want the walk now there Is only
one thing to do. And In the mean
time, bear In mind the fact that we
have one Of the best public schools
in the state. -
