MUCH COLDER
AND RAIN TO-DAY
WEATHER CONDITIONS WILL BE
ANYTHING BUT AGREEABLE
DURING THE DAY.

From the forecast received last
night from Washington today will be
a most disagTeeable one. so far as
weather conditions are concerned. The
prediction is for rain and much colder
weather, which will be followed Fri
day by fair weather.
Yesterday afternoon the following
advisory storm warning message was
received by the local weather Office
from Washington:
"A disturbance is moving eastward
over the gulf states; high northwest
winds on middle and east gulf coasts
tonight with decided fall in tempera-
tuTe."
The minimum temperature here for
the twelve hours preceding the issu-
ance of the weather map was "a, with
a maximum of 66. In his summary
of conditions, Observer Reed yester-
day said:
An offshoot from the plateau de-
preston has reached Louisiana; scat
tered rains are still falling from Texas
TO Virginia and SHOWS from Nevada,
wyoming and Kansas to the western
lake region; snow is also falling in
New York. Pressure has increased
considerably over the Dakotas where
strong high pressure area appears,
which is forcing its way southwark
and separating the depression in Utah
from the one over the western gulf
region. Temperatures have fallen
below freezing again in northern Tex
as, and range from Is degrees at Am
ariTlO to p degrees below zero in
North Dakota.
Conditions are favorable for rain
and colder tonight and Thursday.
Winds along the West Florida coast
will be fresh south, shifting to north
west"

ADMIRAL EVANS
CHOOSES THE
PLACE
Fleet Will This Year Have Target
PraCtiC at ManzaniIIO Bay,
Near Guantanamo.

Admiral Evans has at last notified
the department. Of the point where the
North Atlantic feet will have its tar.
get practice this year. The place Sc
looted by him is ManZanillo bay, about
$50 miles from Guantanamo. where
the vessels have been for some weeks.
About a week or ten days since The
Journal obtained information which,
at the time, had every indication of
being correct, that the feet would
probably come to Pensacola for the
spring practice. At least the out
look was very bright, but it developed
a few days afterwards that the YES
sells would not come here, and this is
borne out by the following, taken
from the New York Herald of March
10:
Rear Admiral Evans has decided
that the Atlantic fleet shall hold its
spring target practice in Manzanillo
Bay, about $50 miles west of Guantan-
amO. The bay is a very deep linden
tatiOn in the coast and large enough
to afford comparatively smooth wa
ter for the fleet, while the range is
sufficient to insure safety for outsid-
ers."
