TO BE IN TAMPA HARBoR GAsPA.
RILLA WEEK.
BattIers of Several Nations VIII Add to
the Sights City Is to Show
Its Guests.

Warships Of several nations will
visit Tampa during the Gasparilla fes-
tival, February 21-24. Assurance was
given the men of the Gasparilla COM
mittee early in January that subma-
rines and torpedo destroyers Of the
United States feet would be on hand
to escort the Gasparilla craft up the
bay. Secretary of the Navy Daniels
has given orders which set four cab
marines and a monitor in motion on
leisurely trip from Norfolk, which will
bring them into Tampa Bay before the
celebration has opened. Torpedo boats
of the United States Atlantic squadron
are also expected.
The consuls of Great Britain, Italy.
Cuba, Spain and France are making
every possible effort. to get warships
from their countries here cor the Cas-
parilla occasion. There is a likeli-
hood also that Germany will have a
cruiser In port, as steps were taken
through the foreign ministers to this
country to secure such action on the
part of the foreign navy departments.
Consul r. M. Ybor Of Cuba has prac-
tical assurance that the gunboat Cuba
will be on hand. Vice Consul e. w.
Monrose of this city regards the
chance Of there being representa-
tive Of the French navy here as being
of the brightest. Consul Colombo is
the Italian consul He is backed I'M
his request by the many Italian resi-
dents Of the city, and L'Unione ltal-
ian, which wishes to entertain an Ital-
ian warship and crew during the car
nival. Consul A. Nistal likewise has
confidence that the Spanish govern
ment will not overlook the celebration,
more particularly as the name OF a
Spanish sea rover, Jose Gasparilla, Is
concentrated by the occasion.
An opportunity will be given the VS.
itors to the city to go aboard the war
ships which will tie up at the docks
in this city, and there will thus be-
an educational feature to the celepra-
ton, for it is an unusual opportunity
for the people Of inland towns to see
the war boats. There is no doubt that
this feature of the celebration Will be
attractive to many.

los PERSON ARE RESCUED
RESCUE SHIPS REACH WRECKED
STEAMER COBEQUlD AND
TAKE OFF PASSENGERS.
Rescue One of Most Notable Ever Ac-
compIished on the Atlantic
Coast.

Yarmouth, N S.-Snatched from
what seemed almost certain death, the
1OS passengers and crew of the Royal
Mail Packet Cobequid are safe in Var
mouth harbor.
Wireless appeals for assistance,
which she had first made thirty-six
hours before, were answered as the
doomed steamer was being racked to
pieces on Trinity Rock, six miles off
Port Maitland The rescue will go
down in shipping annals as one Of the
most notable ever accomplished on the
Atlantic coast.
The Cobequid had begun to break
up under the cannoning of the ter
rife seas that had been merciless from
the time the vessel struck. Quantities
of cargo covered the waters as the
lifeboats ranged alongside. The coas-
tai steamers Westport and John L.
Cam were first to get their small
boats into the water and they were
followed soon by boats of the govern
ment steamer Lansdowne and the
steamer Rappahannock. AS the work
of rescue progressed the seas subsid-
ed and no mishap marred the triumph
over the waves.

JAPANESE make PROTEST.
JAPAN Is STILL GROWLING AT
THE UNITED STATES ABOUT
CALIFORNIA.
Japanese Foreign Minister Says Amer
lean Attitude on Alien Land Laws
Is Unsatisfactory.

Washington.-An address by Baron
Nobuaki Maxine, the Japanese for
eign minister, to the parliament of
Japan, outlining the status of negotia-
tons over the California alien land
legislation and declaring that the jap
anese government had come to see
the necessity of considering some 9th
er ways for solution of the question"
because the replies of the United
States had not been found satisfactory,
was cabled in full from Toxic to the
Japanese embassy here.
The address, which was not CON-
mented upon in official circles, an
nounced that the third note of protest
presented to Secretary Bryan by Am
bassador Chinda on August Is remain
ed unanswered. 1t also revealed the
fact that the ambassador, under in
structions from Toxic, saw President
Wilson on March 5, the day after the
presidents Inauguration, and asked
that he make an effort to stop the
threatened legislation in California,
which since has been enacted. In
part he said:
"In the state legislature of Califor-
MIA the bills of anti-Japanese charac-
ter regularly have been introduced at
its sessions for more than ten years
past. Thanks to the good offices
earnestly exercised by the United
States government and thanks also to
proper steps OPPORTUNITY taken by the
people and government of Japan, moth
ing of serious moment did fortunately
occur, but at the fortieth session of
the legislature which assembled last
year bill known as the Webb bill
aiming at prohibition of ownership Of
real property by Japanese was passed
by an overwhelming majority.

BANDITS ROB MAIL TRAINS
Three Amateurs Believed to Be Re-
sponsible for Train Robbery.

Chattanooga, Tenn.-Three men, be-
lieved to have been rank amateurs,
held up Southern railway train No.
Al, local to Tuscumbia, at Packers,
Ala, at about 500 at night. Ascord-
ing to the best authority in this city,
there was nothing of value in either
express or baggage car, which were
looted, the robbers finding only per-
ishable articles of food, a lot Of trunks
and a pile of sacks containing second
class mail.
The train arrived at Packers at 500
and while standing at the station was
boarded by three masked men. Two
miles west of that place two of the
men entered the express car and took
possession of the pouches and safe.
At a given signal, or in consequence
of an understanding, he compelled the
engineer to stop the train while the
others uncoupled the two cars in the
front, one of which was baggage
car containing federal pouch mail,
mostly newspapers, and then forced
the engineer to run twelve miles into
the country.
Chicago.-With the assistance Of two
reluctant but badly scared porters, a
lone bandit held up four passengers
on the rear sleeper of the Michigan
Central passenger train due here from
Detroit. The robber entered the train
at Jackson, Mich, and left it about
fifteen minutes later, when Lewis
Thombs, one of the porters, signaled
for the emergency brakes.

Gen. Salvador Mercado, Huerta's for

evacuation of Ojinaga in face of the
rebel fire. General Mercado, riding on
a horse, his uniform covered with
dust, was confessedly Inundated, not
only at the defeat of his army and
the necessity for his fight, but also
because of report from Mexico City
that he would be courtmartialed if
he returned to his native country.
The picturesque march afoot

foreign soldiers and women with their
baggage, abounded with incident The
birth of child, the death of several
wounded soldiers, the search for water

away from the line of march and the
rounding up again of scores of the
refugees were some of the difficulties
with which the United States cava,ry-
men had to contend. The MeXiCans
outnumbered the escorting American
soldiers, ten to one
Viewed from a hilltop, the oncoming
army as it zigzagged through the
mountain passes and reached back
ward into the dusty distance ten miles
away, was a picture of exhaustion, al
though the prospect of soon reaching
their destination seemed to revive
fresh courage.

TO FIX TOLL RATES
THROUGH EAST COAST CANAL
Issue Order for Meeting for the Con-
sideration of Fall Rates on the :,
Canal.

Tallahassee.-The trustees OF the |.
1. fund have issued am order for a
meeting to consider the toll
rates on the East Coast canal. No
formal complaint has been made to the
trustees, but it was deemed advisable
by them to make inquiry into this sub
ject on account Of it being claimed
by certain newspapers on the East
Coast that the present tolls are unrea-
sonable. The trustees stated that
while it has been alleged by some
that the rates upon a pleasure boat
from Jacksonville to Miami would be
$1.S5 per foot deck measure, that the
rate upon file with them show rate
of 35 cents per foot deck measure. mi
stead of a fifty-foot boat having to pay,
STA for the trip for this distance, It'll
would be $3.50, based upon the rates
filed with the trustees.
The rates on file with the trustees
show for pleasure boats rate OF 80
cents per foot deck measure from
Jacksonville to Fort Lauderdale; a
Tdl6 VI 20 SCuto pCi WV oSSh AAASNS7
ure from Jacksonville to Palm Beach;
a rate of 20 cents per foot deck meas
pre- from Jacksonville to Daytona. It
appears from the rates on file with
the trustees that while the rate is 10
cents for single chain, it is reduced
considerably if the boat is to go
through two or more chains.
There is on file with the trustees
letters from parties operating freight
boats on the canal, agreeing that the
freight rates as fixed under the sched-
ule of tolls are reasonable. The trus-
tees state that the tolls heretofore
adopted are merely tentative and that
the board reserved the right to modi-
fly or change them at any time or to
revoke them entirely.
The trustees in their order notify
the representatives of the canal COM
pany and all interested citizens who
desire to do so to appear before the
board.

ILLEGAL TO SELL
STATE SONG BIRDS
BIRD DEALERS BEING WATCHED
BY THE FLORIDA AUDUBON
SOCIETY.
PEOPLE WARNED NOT TO BUY
Organization Determined to Stamp Out
Illegal Traffic in SiIyer-Throated
Songsters.
PEOPLE WARNED NOT TO BUY

Tallahassee.-The keeper Of Tam
pa bird store was recently arrested for
selling and exposing for sale hooking
birds and red birds (cardinals) which
Is against the law in every state in
the South.
The evidence was procured by an
officer of the Florida Audubon Society
who entered the bird store and bought
red bird, and then went to the Judge
of the county court and swore out
warrant for the mans arrest for sell
ing the bird.
The Audubon Society is determined
to stamp out this traffic in song birds
which still persists to certain extent
throughout the state, and which is
causing some of our song birds, par
ticularly the cardinal, to become very
scarce. A representative of the Flor
ida Audubon Society further states
that the cardinals, hooking birds and
other native song birds are one of the
most important assets of our state on
account of the interest and pleasure
they afford us by their wild music. 1t
would be hard to estimate the actual
value of these birds upon this basis,
but, considering also their economic
value, it would be safe to say that
each one of these birds, if allowed its
life and liberty, is worth 5000 to our
community, but is worth comparative
ly nothing dead or in cage. When
tourist buys one of these birds, the
local bird dealer gets 81 or SIS from the
transaction, but how much does the
community lose? Moreover this loss
is even greater than is apparent for
every wild bird that is sold in captiv-
ity, at least six are killed in the trap
or die from confinement or from rough
handling incident to their capture.
The Florida Audubon Society wishes
to emphasize chat it is not only in
human to hold in captivity these wild
freedom-loving creatures, but is folly
to do so; for if unmolested, they would
be freed to breed and multiply and
would then come to our door yards to
sing their melodies-melodies far more
sweeter than the longing notes of the
Gagged wild bird calling hopelessly for
it's mate.
Tourists are cautioned not to pat
ronize this illegal trade, and other
bird dealers throughout the state are
hereby warned not to buy, sell, expose,
or offer for sale, native wild birds of
this state if they wish to escape the
vigilance of the Audubon Society.
