spectre of American Intervention
hangs over Cuba today, and the
United States government may
step in at any moment to settle
the negro rebellion, which ap-

The state department here to-
day requested the navy depart

ness for further developments in
Cuba.
Rebels are burning and pilag

of the Guantanamo & Western

WHY is SHERMAN HERE?
YOU CAN SEARCH US.
Vice President Sherman, armed
with hissmile and pair of rub
Der heels, oozed into Chicago this
morning and Immediately lost
himself. He refused to be inter
viewed, escaping from reporters
in an automobile and covering his
tracks all day.
A sensational report from
Washington was to the effect
that the vice president was in Chi
cago to confer with Senator Lori
mer and ask the Blond Boss to re-
sign from the Senate and not fur
ther embarrass the administra-
ton, which is already carrying
around about all the embarrass-
ment it can stand.
This~rumor was denied, of
course. Col. Harry S. New of In
diana, who is here preparing for
the Republican national conven-
ton, said the vice president was
not here on anybusiness connect
ed with the convention or the ma
tional committee.
The vice president, who is a
great baseball fan, seems to desire
the impression to spread that he
took an 800-mile trip in a hot and
dusty train just to see the White
Sox clash with the Tigers. He

WILL RETURN
To PENSACOLA
NOW ALMOST CERTAIN THAT HE
WILL ACCEPT TERMS OFFERED
AND RETURN HERE FOR AN
OTHER SEASON OF PLAYING.

1t is now practically certain that
Pitcher Burmeister VIII again be on
the twirling staff of the locals. Man
ager Oliver had asked Mobile for the
loan of the soldier boy hurler for the
Cleveland series several weeks ago,
and this lead UP to negotiations which
are practically certain to end in
Burmeister's return to Pensacola for
another season.
The Mobile manager thinks he is
not quite ready for Southern League
company, and believes another season
in Pensacola will greatly improve him.
Last night Burmeister called up Man
ager Oliver and talked with him re-
garding his return to Pensacola for
the season.
The Cleveland series is now only
two days off and fans are anxious for
the big leaguers to reach here. A
large number of season tickets have
been sold and these will be good for
the Cleveland series. The seating ca
pacity Of the park has been added to
considerably since last season and the
fans hope to see every seat filled fef
every game during the series.
A dozen of the prominent merchants
of the city have signified their desire
to close up their places of business,
and 1t is practically certain that nearly
all would close if an organized effort
was made to get them together.
