Tampa Times: That the Honduras
government is looking toward Tam
"a a. the coming port OF the Gulf of
Mexico IS the statement made by
Alfredo Lopez Galeano, newly APP
pointed consul from that country in
this city. Mr.. Galeano is here to
cement the relations between Tampa
business men and his country. to
point out the opportunities OF trade
with that country and TO look out for
the interests of Honduras.
This afternoon he talked 10 a
Times reporter concerning the var
ious ports OF the gulf. Tampa. he
says. is singled out by his govern
ment. of which Francisco Bertrand is
now president, as the city 20 which
Honduras can look for the most
trade. In a few years, he says. after
the Panama canal has been opened,
Tampa will be doing more business
with Honduras than New Orleans
And the reason is that same one
which Tampans have spread about as
the gospel of the city, that Tampa is
the nearest port to Panama. Hon
duras, he says, is the nearest point in
Central America to Tampa.

A NOTABLE ANNIVERSARY

Mariana Day" which the
Daughters OF the Confederacy will
celebrate Saturday. is a notable an
niversary. There was much fighting
done in Florida during the war be-
tween the states. tho owing to the
small numbers engaged the battles
did not make the marks on the pages
OF history set there by the tremen-
dous cOmbats in the states further
north. West Florida was very i'm
pOrtant to the Confederacy the last
ing one Of the few remaining sections
from which the Southern government
could obtain beef cattle. On Sept.

the head of 700 veteran soldiers.
with six field guns. left Fort Barran-
cas- near Pensacola, crossed Pensa-
cola bay and marched eastward along
Andrew Jackson's old road to East
Pass There they took supplies
from d steamer, and marched north
east into Washington. Walton and
Jackson counties. They were unop-
posed, for the country was bare not
only OF regular soldiers. but almost
OF men. The federal column moved
on, plundering residences, carrying
off stock an making prisoners of
few old u.eH. : nom the federal gem
eral seem t. think he could hold
for ransom. General As6Oth was a
Hun garian. and made war on the
Eu opean plan. More than half his
troops were negroes. who took great
delight in plundering and Insulting
the white people. At Mariana three
OF four skeleton companies Of home
guard" gathered, and were reinforce
ed by all the old men and boys in
the neighbOrhood. Altogether, they
numbered about 350-half the invad-
ing force. They had no artillery.
shOtguns and squirrel rifles. The
battle began in the afternoon. The
federals opened fire with their artil-
lery and soon demolished the feeble
barricade the Floridians had put up.
The Second Maine cavalry then
charged into the town. scattering the
defenders, who however kept up
their fire from every cover they
could find. Several men and boys
held the Episcopal church until it
was set on fire and the roof was fall
ing in. Then they rushed out and
most OF them were shot down in the
church yard. The remaining Confed-
crates made a stand on the east side.
Of the Chipola river, which was
crossed by a bridge. The federals
tried to charge across the bridge. an5
were beaten back by the Confederate
fire. Then they brought up their ar
tilIery and shelled the opposite bank
till they thought the Southerners
had been driven away, and then
charged again. But another shower
OF lead met them. and again they fell
back. Darkness put an end TO the
fight. The federaIs withdrew during
the night, after plundering every |
house on the west side of the river. |
They carried off 81 prisoners, most !
" non-combatants. 500 negroes and /
400 head of cattle. They also car
ried about sixty of their own wound /
ed men. and several wagon loads Of
dead. how many they never told, but |
ii is estimated that their loss was at
least 100 in killed and wounded |
About a score Of Southerners were |
killed and twice as many wounded, !

II is a mighty fine thing for a rail

the account thereof can be hidden
away under modest headlines in an

Then the common people would never
be allowed to read anything that
made them disconnected. and in the

justified the Judgment OF the officials
