In St. Louis for several weeks buying
large quantities Of war supplies, have
been given an order to buy 10000 adj
ditional head OF horses and mules in
Missouri and Southern Illinois, accord
ing to reports current in business cir
cIes today.
A Uniform price of 1870 is being paid
for each horse meeting the require

600 of money from st. Louis,
Four representatives Of the French
Government, working under instruc
lions from st. Louis, are inspecting
nearly 1000 horses that have been sent
to Springfield
The French Government has also
bought nearly 100000 barrels Of flour,
and great quantities of other provis-
ions for the army in st. Louis. Dr.
ders also have been placed with local
shoe factories for many thousands Of
pairs of shoes for army purposes.
The army officers representing the
allies have en1oined secrecy upon The
merchants, manufacturers and tobberS
from whom they have made purchases.
They do not wish it to become known
that supplies are being shipped from
this country to Europe, fearing that
this information might get to Germany,
and an effort be made to capture or
destroy the ships conveying the sup
plies.
Representatives of the German Gov
eminent also are said to have visited
st. Louis recently to try to purchase
horses. It was reported in business cir
cles that the Germans were willing TO
pay $500 each for horses, but the in
ability Of Germany to insure safe
tran ortation for army equipment
from the United States prevented any
purchases from being made in st.
Louis.

SPECIAL TO THE JOURNAL.

Washington, D. c., Nov. 1.-The
coast artillery garrisons at Key West
and Tampa are likely to be virtually
wiped off the map soon, according to
Gen. Erastus w. Weaver, chief OF the
coast artillery, who says in his annual
report:
I'm order to provide for our primary
home defenses there are required 662
officers and 1921 enlisted men.
There are now provided about one
fourth Of the officers and one-half Of
the enlisted men necessary for this
purpose. Unless provision be made in
the near future for additional coast
artillery personnel, it will be necessary
to reduce the garrisons to mere care
taker detachments at some Of the de-
lenses of lesser Importance, including
Portsmouth, Delaware Charleston, Sn-
vannah, Key West, Bedford, Potomac,
Tampa, Columbia, Baltimore, Cape
Fear and Mobile.
'It is therefore recommended that
the seacoast States be urged anew to
provide their due proportion Of militia
coast artillery troops, special efforts
being made with respect to those at
present providing none. All Of these
contain cities and posses interests %
which existing coast defenses are Of
Importance. In this connection it
should be stated that Maryland; Vir-
ginia, South Carolina, Florida, Ala

BODY OF
DROWNED Man
IN The WATER
DAN GRANT, WHO WAS MISSING
SINCE LAST FRIDAY, WAS AC-
COUNTED FOR WHEN HIS RE-
MAINS WERE FOUND.

Dan Grant, white, ABOUT IS years Of
age, who had been missing since last
Friday was accounted for yesterday
afternoon at o'clock when his life
less body was found floating in the
bay, near Perdido wharf The body
was not decomposed and 1t gave the
| idea that he had been In the water
for a comparatively short time.
The body was found by John Monies.
who, with his family, was In skiff,
fishing in the western part of the bay.
They were near the stern Of the
launch Genevieve at the time, and the
body was floating few feet away.
Immediately a rope was passed around
the lifeless body and, towed by the
launch named, was slowly hauled
over to Baylen wharf, where it was
secured and where It was later viewed
by the coroner, who was teIephoned
for. No inquest was necessary, as
there appeared to be no marks Of VIC
Ience anywhere, and the remains, I'M
less cared for by sympathizing people,
may fill a grave set apart for the de-
pendent ones.
Grant was originally from Glouces-
ter, but recently came to Pensacols
aboard the smack Lottie HasKins
here, and fishermen stated yesterday
that he was not a member of their
association, although he had made d
trip to the snapper banks in the recent
past.
Sam Lynch, a fisherman. was about
the last man who remembers having
seen Grant alive. Lynch said yester-
day that Grant was uptown when he
saw him at a late hour Friday night
That was evidently the night he met
his death, for he wore the same
clothing in which he was attired Fri
day, and in his pockets carried copies
of newspapers dated Friday. It Is
believed that he had procured a supply
Of reading matter and was in the
act of boarding some smack to re-
main for the night, when he fell into
the water. Alone, and probably
late at night, his cries, if he made
any, went unheard, and he drowned.
When found he was floating lace
downward.
Announcement of the discovery Of
a dead body caused scores to flock
to BayIen wharf in a short while. and
inside OF an hour the street leading
to the wharf was filled with people.
The body was tied with a rope and
secured on the starboard side OF a
fishing smack, moored ut the wharf
and before the undertaken
was authorized to remove the same.
hundreds had gazed upon 1t.
