CRUISER TAKES
COAL FROM THE
NAVARRO WHILE
LATTER IN GULF
Party Aboard Tug Gladys
Coming From Fishing
Banks Saw the Steamer
and War Vessel Ap-
preaching Without Anv
Lights Showing.

As was suspected when tar GER
man steamer Navarro first began TAX
ing cargo of coal here the latter
was for a war vessel Of the German
navy. The German cruiser was sight
ed in the gulf on several occasions
and Saturday afternoon late tie Ma
varra proceeded out with her coal
and supplies When the tug Gladys
was returning from the snapper banks
Saturday night without any lights
showing she ran up on both the Ma
varra and war vessel Theg were
then approaching one another without
any lights showing, although the war
vessel at one time turned on all lights
in order to show her whereabouts to
the the Navarro.
The Gladys had a party aboard who
spent all Of Saturday about sixteen
miles out in the gulf fishing After
making a good catch the party start
ed for home shortly after dark and IL
was then discovered the tug had no
oil on board and consequently no lights
could be displayed. It was for this
reason that the war vessel and the
steamer Navarro did not see the tug
until she was within Il short distance
OF them. J. NJ. Mcintosh was ono OF
the party aboard the Gladys and yes
tive Of what he saw as follows:
About sundown we sighted the
Navarro steaming out into the gulf,
going to our right where she remain
ed perfectly stin without any lights.
Between s and o'clock we pulled up
anchor TO start for the city when We
discovered that we had no oil for
lights except the light In the engine
room We sighted a. large sailing yes
sci three or four miles to our right
and we started out to her TO get oil
Just as we started a large well lighted
vessel came inside from the gulf and
then turned off all lights, On our way
TO the sailing vessel we passed with
in about three hundred yards of tho
Navarro, still not lighted. After wa
passed about a mile she steamed Off
coming toward the bar finally chang
ing her course and running toward us
for about four miles, coming up on
our right within speaking distance.
However, she was still darIz and We
could see no one. After the Navarro
had discovered what we were She
changed her course and went immc-
diately toward the large vessel This
large vessel then turned on her lights
again and we watched her for some
little time and as best we could tell
they were advancing toward each 9th
er.
I'VE finally overlook the sailing ves-
sci and found 1t to be one Of Sauu-
ders' fishing snacks. Captain Han
sen in charge. She had been out on
a fishing trip for about three weeks.
We obtained oil from her and towed
her to the city wharf, reaching the
city about 1870. My opinion IS, con-
cluded Mr. Mcintosh. that the Ma
varra steamed out to the large vessel
and transferred her cargo, and be-
lieve the larger boat was a German
man-~o' war"
Thos in the party were, besides Mr..
Mcintosh, were Captain Green, Ned
Smith, Mr.. Russell and Mr.. Mcclellan.

Washington, Sept g.
The German and Austrian
consular officers have been
ordered by Great Britain to
leave Egypt Immediately.
Roumania has officially an
nounced if she abandons her
neutral attitude it will be to
follow Italy's course. Great
Britain has informed the
United States she would
look with favor on sending
American Warships to Turk
ish ports TO care for the
Christians in case there was
"a Mohamnedan uprising
against them.
These developments are
in a highly critical situation
brought about by the feeling,
OF the triple entente that
Turkey is certain to join the
conflict on the side of Aus
tria and Germany, and were
conveyed today in official
dispatches to the United
States government.
Whether Turkey will icin
the war may depend finally
on the attitude OF the Balkan
states and Italy. Roumania' 5
announcement that she in
tended following Italy is re-
garded as meaning that
both countries would sup
port Great Britain, Russia
and France. Roumania' 5
position is a surprise, as it
was believed she might be
swayed by her secret alli-
ance with Austria. Turkey
has felt certain that Bulgaria
would fight with her. but
Rounania 5 announcement,
it is thought, would effect 4
change. With Greece. Ser
via, Montenegro, Italy and
Roumania Joined solidly
against the Ottoman en-
pire, Bulgaria's Slavic sym
pathies may cause her to
withhold from the conflict
entirely.

That the plan decided upon at the
recent conference in Washington for
aiding the cotton planters Of the
South is proving the failure antici-
pated and that if the government con-
tinues this policy it will result in driV-
ing the price of the staple to cents
per pound and below, is the statement
Of Former United States Senator W.
H Milton in a letter he has address,
ed to Secretary of the Treasury Nc
Adoo Mr. Milton is one of the Oldest
bankers in point of active business
in Florida. and also is a cotton planter
on an extensive scale. Mr. Milton
in his letter suggests q different plan
to the secretary of the treasury which,
ne says. would prove OF benefit to
the planter. This plan is for the
government to make loans OF $40 per
bale direct to the farmer. using the
banks as local agents and giving them
one-half of the interest on these loans
for their services in seeing that the
cotton is of the proper grade, is ware
housed and insured. Mr.. Millions let
ter to Secretary McAdoo follows:
Mariana, Fla, Sept. 8, 1914.
Honorable VIM. G.. McAdoo, Secretary
of Treasury. Washington, D. c.
Sir:-At the meeting of the cotton
conference. I was firmly convinced
that the suggestion and plan which
the majority of the conference favor
ed for the relief of the cotton situa-
ton. and improvement of general con-
ditions, would avail nothing because
it would be impracticabIe to carry
out the plan as outlined. And while
the plan suggested by me met with
very little consideration, 1 am still
convinced that it is the only practi-
cable plan of relief, and since my re-
turn from the conference, and seeing
conditions in the South going from
bad to worse. 1 feel that it is prob
ably my duty 10 again urge this plan.
1t was the consensus of opinion at
the cotton conference, and agreed
with il. that the retirement of four
million bales Of cotton from the mar

NO COTTON IN WAREHOUSE.
I was in Mariana last week. which
town is situated in the center Of a
county which produced twenty thou
sand bales, and at this season OF the
year there are usually forty to fifty
bales Of cotton brought in each day.
There was practically none brought
to town. and as 7 left there Sunday
afternoon. there was not a single bale
Of cotton in the warehouse. The farm
ers are ginning their cotton and car
ryiHg il home, and not endeayOring
to pay their debts because there is no
sale for cotton and the advance made
By banks are no; sufficient. The

mature, they cannot be paid, and prob

be entered. and these suits will con-
tinue to grow in number until practi-
cause, at forced sale now, property
brings practically nothing.
This is the most serious situation
that I have ever confronted. The panic
of 1898 and 1907. through which
passed. did not begin TO compare with
present conditions. They are so bad,
that I think it will take heroic meas

A solid wall of warships" is
thrown across the northern part Of
the North sea, according to the cap
tain of British trawler who has just
arrived in London from Iceland. The
skipper said it was absolutely impos-
sible for any foe to break through un-
detected" so constant and thorough
was the patrol to the north. 1t was
his own experience to be halted and
searched and after being released his
boat was followed by two torpedo
boats until it reached its destination.
The thoroughness Of the patrol was
further testified to by another North
sea skipper. His trawler was lying
along shore, when shortly after mid
night it suddenly found itself hemmed
in by huge black object which prov
ed to be a British cruiser. Its officers
seemed to have had cats eyes. From
the dark a voice demanded to know
the identity Of the trawler. 1t was
promptly shouted back. The name
in quite correct, sir!"-came another
mysterious voice astern of us" said
the skipper. "a submarine had crept
up behind us and read our name. AL
though all Of our crew had come on
deck to see what was happening, not
one of them had seen the submarine
appear. The whole episode only oc-
cupied a few minutes and the cruiser,
after wishing us Good morning. and
plenty of fishing, disappeared In the
darkness"
