Robes Springs

PAso RoBLES, April 6-In spite of
a somewhat restless and unsatisfactory
night, Rear Admiral Robiey. D. Evans.
commander in chief of the Atlantic
battleship fleet. had the best day since
his arrival at the springs. Although
the weather could not be surpassed il
was deemed best by Surgeon p. z. Nc
Donna1d of the flagship Connecticut.
the admiraTs personal physician, and
Dr. l. E Phillips that he should not
take a carriage ride today At ?
o'clock, however, he was taken down
stairs IN a wheel chair by his son,
Lieutenant Frank Taylor Evans. who
Is ever by his fathers side, and
wheeled about the hotel grounds. The
admiral was unusually bright and
cheerful and greeted everybody pleas
antly.
Later he spent an hour in the SOL
arium. where he talked for some time
with Adjutant General J. B. Lauck,
Governor Gillett's chief of staff. and
several others. General Lauck left on
the evening train for San Francisco.
He has ordered Brigadier General Rob
ert Wankowski of Los Angeles to meet
Mrs Evans and daughter upon their
arrival at Los Angeles on Wednesday y
and TO render them any service that
he can.
The attitude of the people at the
springs and in town is very gratifying
TO Admiral Evans. The guests at the
hotel do not gather in the halls nor on
the wide verandas of the hotel when
the admiral is brought down stairs
nor do they stare at him when he Is
wheeled about the grounds. Every one
greets him pleasantly as If he were an
old resident. and seldom does any one
attempt to enter into conversation with
him unless it is invited This has
pleased the admirals party greatly
Lieutenant Train, the admirars nag
it would not be decided for several
days whether it viii be wise for Ad-
miral Evans TO rejoin his fleet at San
Diego on April IA. That will depend
wholly upon Evans condition, which
has improved greatly since his arrival
here but five days ago.
The admiral tonight listened to a
concert given by Frank Pollock, for
merly OF the Metropolitan opera com
pany OF New York. His physicians ad-
vised against his going down stairs
TO the hotel parlors, but the admiral
heard the music through the open
doors of his room. Earlier in the day
he was serenaded by the band OF q
minstrel company playing in town.
During the day the admiral said that
he expected to be on the bridge of the
Connecticut at San Diego, but his
physicians viii endeavor 10 induce him
70 remain here.

PenSacOla'S Curse.

The News of Pensacola states that
the trouble with that city of great
possibilities is, that some time in the
long ago priest suffering from some
of the indignities that one who re
sides there occasionally butts up
against, placed a ban upon the place
hat was to run one hundred years.
The mathematician of the News
has figured it out that the curse eX-
pires by limitation this Summer, and
the first evidence of its removal is the
energy displayed by the people in Sc
curing a half million dollar hotel.
In the interest of this portion of he
State, of which Pensacola is yet the
metropolis, the PILOT hopes that fig
ures donot lie, and that the anathema
placed upon it by this possibly dys-
peptic old father may have run its
course. But there is a far greater
number of people than those inhabit-
ing Pensacola who are firmly OF the
opinion that the ban upon that city
WAS placed there by the /. x y. X. r.
Co., and that it still remains in full
force and tenor, and will as long Us
its citizens pass submissiyely under
the yoke of that grasping unrestrain-
ed corporation.
AS Senator Bankhead, OF Alabama,
stated before the Board of Engineers
at Washington, THE harbOr Of PEN
sacola might as well be wiped off the

fit to the state of Alabama. 1t is

sent conditions, of no service to the

ly to secure the business and stand
