Storm Makes It Impossible for
Foreigners to Take Refuge
on Warships,

WASHINGTON, April S.-Unable
because Of storm to reach the
American warships which lie at an
Choir outside the harbor of Tampico
American women and children are
compelled to remain within the city
while the rebel army pours shot and
shell from the surrounding hills, ac-
cordng to Navy Department advices
to- day.
Rear Admiral Mayo sent a wireless
message to Acting Secretary of the
Navy Blue that a fierce 'norther' is
blowing and that he does not consider
it safe for the refugees to try to
board the American vessels until the
wind abates. Rear Admiral Mayo's
report from Tampico read:
Fighting continues; no change in
the situation. Federal gunboats Vera
Cruz and Saragoza Smelling Arbol
Grande Ga suburb captured by the
rebels) On account of the norther
and the little change in the situation,
am discouraging refugees coming on
board A few have been received on
board the Des Moines, alongside a
dock II rebels receive artillery,
which is improbable, conditions will
be much more serious. Reports on
shore that American battleships are
supplying ammunition to the rebels
Rear Admiral Fletcher at Vera Cruz
reported that he had instructed Ad
miral Mayo ito give refuge to all
Americans and other foreigners as
far as possible"
1t is probable that Admiral F'letch-
er will order the naval transport
Prairie, now at Vera Cruz, to proceed
to Tampico to take aboard the
Americans who wish to leave the city.
The Prairie has a large number Of
marines on board, but these will be
shifted to the battleships of the fleet
before the transport is moved to
Tampico.

BURWELL LIKELY
To RUN; VEREEN
DROPS OUT
MouItrie Man 600 Busy to Seek
Governorship Now-Speaker
Will Announce Soon.

The two interesting developments in
State politics Thursday we're the pos
tive withdrawal of w c. Vereen, Of
Moultrie, from the Governorship race
and the well authenticated statement
that Speaker William H. Burwell
most likely will enter the same with
in the next few days.
Mr. Vereen's withdrawal is an
nounced in his home paper, The Moul-
trie Observer. Thursday afternoon. 1t
was entirely unexpected by his
friensd.
When the State Democratic Exec
utive Committee met in Atlanta Sat
urday, a large delegation of Yerene's
boosters came to the capital and
stated unequivocally that the Moul-
trie man would be in the Governor
ship race, and that his formal an
nouncement would be given out short
ly. He was a most formidable can
didate for appointment to the tenn
porary United States Senatorship now
held by w S. West, and figured large
ly in that situation.
In his statement Of withdrawal
from the race for the Governorship,
Mr.. Vereen announces that he is "out
of politics for this year" He gives
business reasons for his withdrawal.
Narrows to Two Entries.
The withdrawal of Vereen narrows
the prospective Governorship contest
to date to J. Randolph Anderson,
president of the Senate, and William
Fl. Burwell, Speaker of the House
Such =
the extreme, as both are we'll known
throughout all Georgia,
President Anderson already has an
nounced his positive intent to be in
the Governorship race.
Asked over long distance phone as
to his rumored candidacy, Mr.. Bur
well replied:
Il am considering, very seriously,
the matter Of running for Governor. I
have been considering that very thing
ever since Governor Slaton stated
positively his candidacy for the
United States Senate.
Comforting Win Friends.
Il have already conferred with a
number of my friends throughout the
State as to the matter and am ex-
pecting to confer with others during
the present week. I may say, too,
that the outlook now is that l shall
enter the race
u do not deny an ambition to be
Governor, and if IT appears to me
finally that the present is a fit ami
proper time for me to try for that
high and honorable position, l GER
tainly shall make the race. I shall
be in position to state positively what
l will do. however, within a few
days"

NOT IN DEMAND AS A PET
West indian opossum Has Few Good
Qualities That Recommend Him to
Liking Of Humanity.

Although not exactly suitable as a
pet. the West Indian opossum is
very interesting little animal.
Unlike most wild things. 1t prefers
the neighborhood OF man, and is a
perfect pest to the planter. especially
If he keeps poultry.
Imagine rat as large as rabbit,
with a long prehensile tail, and you
have its picture.
IL robs the fowl houses, steals ripe
fruit from the trees, eggs from the
nest, and fish from the pond. II is sell
dom seen during the day, as its sight
is weak and It dislikes sunlight. "A
starry night for n ramble" is the pos
sums motto. and he doesn't go home
till morning. Mrs. Opossum produces
ten or dozen young ones at birth,
and hides them away I'm a warm pouch
like u kangaroo
Queer little naked blind things they
are, so that were Il not for the ma
ternal pouch they would not succeed
long in the struggle for life.
Grown little older, they are some
times taken for walk on their moth
er's back, and II is funny sight TO
see the little fellows all clinging for
dear life to mammals tail
The negro dearly loves n possum
hunt, and a ramble with Sambo and
two or three dogs generally produces
sport. The 'possum ordinarily takes
to n tree and tries to hide himself be
hing the trunk. but the darky gets
him "'gainst de moon" as he calls II
that is to say, his form shows W
against the moonlight-and charge
OF No. soon brings him down.
Care must be taken in handling
him. as Mr.. 'Possum is apt to pretend
to be dead when he Is really very
much alive, and you may get sharl
bite-if you pick him up.-Pennsylvanii
Grit.
