Special Dispatch to The Star.
PALM BEACH. Fla, February An
dications are that the usually large
Washington colony here at present will
be augmented in the next couple OF weeks
by the arrival Of several members of the
diplomatic corps and army and navy
people who have engaged suites at the
Royal poinciana and the Breakers.
Members OF the Washington colony with
official and political affiliations are being
highly entertained at the attitude as
suIned by the late Tammany chiefta1n,
Richard Croker. who over a year ago
built a handsome permanent winter home
five miles below here on this same pen
insula. The Wigwam, as 1t has been
named by its owner, was practically $50
lated, being separated from the resort
by a snake and alligator inhabited i'm
passable jungle. AS the property below
this jungle was much less expensive, and
it was discovered that speedy motor boats
reduced the running time to about ten
minutes, an option was obtained upon
property surrounding, and 1t now looks as
if permanent villa colony will be estab-
lished, much to the chagrin of Mr.. Croker.
