Rome. June 1--(Via Paris, 4;40 p. m) Exultation is general in Rome over the Italian air raid on Pola and on the amount of damage done.

 There is no disposition here. however to exaggerate successes won so far by the Italian arms, and the newspapers are cautioning the people against thinking that the Austrans will not make mos. determined resistance behind their dc. lenses.

Eight Months
of Accumulated
Mail Given OCT
81 ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Mexico City, Aug. Eight months
of accumulated mail has just been
distributed to foreigners and others.
Besides this mail batch af some
eighteen hundred kilograms will also
reach their owners. These letters
have been piling up in Vera Cruz for
the past month since it was necessary
for the military to use the only avail
able Geographic lines to the prejudice
of the general public while the siege
of the capital was being carried on.
1t is not the want of food of a ma
terial kind that the foreigner feels
so keenly here but the want of that
intellectual nourishment which comes
from the news centers of the world
in the shape of press dispatches and
in the editorial comment and maya
zine articles on the same. Papers
bearing date a month old have been
eagerly read here during the past
few weeks. With the large English,
French, German, American and Span
ish colonies here the dearth of Euro
pean war news works a real hard
ship.

TIED KNOT TO
HANG NEGROES
DEPUTY SHERIFF FROM ALA
BAMA WAS HERE YESTERDAY
AND GAVE SHERIFF ELLIS
SOME GOOD POINTERS.

Deputy Sheriff Kelly, chief in the
Office of the sheriff of Escambia coun-
ty, Ala, was here yesterday, making
the trip from Brewton in his own car.
He called upon Sheriff Ellis at the
county Jail, and spent some time at
the institution.
Deputy Kelly was competent au-
thority on hanging negroes, it oc-
Cured to the officials at the county
Jail who heard his recital, for the
Alabama deputy was present and as
sisted in the hanging of several dar-
kies at Evergreen, Ala, last week.
Kelly was the one who tied the knots
which broke the necks of the two ne
groes who were hanged in Evergreen
last week for the murder of an aged
white woman. Having so recently
and so successfully accomplished this
work, Kelly enlightened those who
heard him in the correct way of knot
ting rope to quickly snap the neck
of any unfortunate who might have
to UNDERGO the ordeal, and he had at
tentive listeners in this recital, for
such an operation will within another
ten days have to be done in the county
Jail here.

THREE STREETS
ABOUT HOSPITAL
WILL Be PAVED
CITY COMMISSIONERS DECIDED
UPON SUCH IMPROVEMENT
AFTER RECEIVING LETTER
FROM ARCHITECT.

Three blocks surrounding the new
Pensacola Hospital building will be
paved, creosoted wood block to be the
material used, and the paving to be
on the ten-year plan instead of one
half that time.
This announcement was made by
Mayor Greenhut yesterday, after the
regular weekly meeting of the city
commissioners had been adjourned.
During the meeting, in the regular
order, a communication was read
from Architect A. o. Won Herbulis,
showing the need of some improve
ment in the streets skirting the block
occupied by the handsome building.
The architect suggested that the i'm
provements be made of a lasting
character, and that a plan, to be
adopted entirely by the commission
ers, be followed. 1t was left entirely
with the board just what improve
ments to be placed, but an insistence
that such improvement be of a last
ing character was the feature of such
communication. The matter was re-
ferred to the city engineer and the
commissioner of streets, who is Mr..
Johnson, such reference having been
made for the purpose of those two
officials figuring on the cost of piping
etc. The paving was then decided
upon.
The Pensacola Hospital building is
skirted by Twelfth avenue on the
west, Thirteenth avenue on the east
Gonzalez street on the north and De-
Soto street on the south. The Twelfth
avenue side is a paved street, so that
one block or Gonzalez street, one
block on DeSoto, and the Thirteenth
avenue block will be the ones to be
so improved. Gonzalez street across
the city is paved to Twelfth avenue,
so that with the Twelfth avenue pave
ment, the hospital may be reached
over any two of those paved streets,
and the complete belt of paving will
furnish great loop for autoists, ETC.,
to make a circle of the handsome
building and view it from all sides.
Mayor Greenhut stated the work
will be started as such as it is pos
sible to get the necessary plans ready
and he thought that thus permanent
ly improved, it would be far better
than any other kind OF street work
that could be done, for it would be the
plan of the hospital authorities tc
have the building and grounds as neat
and as complete as possible, and the
skirting streets would otherwise be in
state of being constantly given at
tention.

ALL BIDS FOR
CITY BUILDING
WERE REJECTED
FOUR CONTRACTORS WERE
THOUGHT TO HAVE ASKED
TOO HIGH A PRICE TO BUILD
NEW TRUCK HOUSE HERE. !.

Four bids for construction of truck
house and city stables, from as many
contractors were received and opened
at the city hall yesterday afternoon,
and all were rejected. The commits
sioners were of the opinion that the
figures of every bidder were too high,
and they were all rejected. The avail
able money to pay for the city truck
house and stables was insufficient to
meet any offer made by either of
those who asked for the Job.
Those who bid, their price and the
time they guaranteed to finish the
work, were as follows:
S. F. Fulghum, $16,957, in 120 days.
c. H. Turner Company, $16,97S, in
10 days.
]. NJ. crona, $16,SOO, in $50 days.
W. F. Breen, $21, 700, in 135 days.
Each bid was carefully examined
before a motion that they all be re-
jected was carried, and then another
motion was made that bids be re-
advertised for, and copy of said adj
vertisement appears in this paper to-
day. This asks for bids for the con-
struction of truck house alone, leav-
ing off that provision for the city
stables, as incorporated in the first
bids.

MAKING A TRIP
ESCAMB|A
c. A. WOLFE IS TOURING COUN-
TY IN INTEREST OF THE ES-
GAMBIA COUNTY FAIR.

C. A. Wolfe of Pensacola, is now
touring the county in the interest OF
the fair association and two of Pen.
sacola progressive merchants.
The trip is being made via Wagon
and thep Ian is to call at every princi.
pal community and distribute circu.
lars and to personally "boost" the
fair.
1t is thought that the trip will con
sumo about two weeks time and
should be of much value in advertis-
ing the fair in the rural sections.
Mr.. Wolfe has found from the ex-
pressions he has heard, that the fail
is looked forward to by the majority
of the people of the county with 8
great deal of interest.

Banana rade
Is Badly Injured
By World War
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Kingston, Jamaica, Aug. 8.-Al-
though trade in the West Indies gen.
orally has suffered to an extent which
is quite appreciate owing to special
war conditions, yet Jamaica, on ac-
count of the perishable nature of its
principal commodity,-bananas-h
had a more serious setback than any
other of the British West Indian col
onies. The sister colony of Trinidad
is more favorably placed on account
of better shipping facilities offered in
neutral and British vessels.
The effect of war conditions in ia
maica is exhibited in the customs col
lections. Since August, 1914, imports
and exports have decreased II per
cent while excise revenue has fallen
to an even greater extent. The fall
ing off in exports is due almost en-
tirely to the lack of adequate ship
ping.
Comparing the latest returns for
1915 with the corresponding pre-war
period in 1914, the following percent
ages illustrate the decreases in va
rious typical exports: Coffee IL per
cent, cocoa II per cent, dyewoods SO
per cent, bananas AZ per cent, ginger
40 per cent, pimento 80 per cent, rum
81 per cent, sugar Is per cent, cot
ton per cent and honey 81 per cent,
Bananas, which form the principal
export of the colony, representing 50
per cent of the total exports, have
fallen by almost one half and this
in year when the crop is the largest
in the islands history. The colony, in
fact, has had a record production in
almost all lines, but total exports are
almost one-third less than in normal
years. AS consequence perishable
commodities are wasted and in some
places surplus fruit for banana plan
tations, not protected by firm con.
tracts with the fruit trading com.
panies, cannot find buyers at 8 cents
per bunch.

STEAMER WAS
|. But FOUR DAYS
TAKING CARGO
RECoRD-TIME WAS MADE IN
FILLING OUT BELGIAN STEAM
SHIP KELTIER, WHICH GOES
TO SEA TODAY.

Record time was made in loading
the Belgian steamship Keltier, which
was. cleared yesterday and which is
ready to go to sea at a. m. today.
A total of 10000 superficial feet of
lumber, 100000 superficial feet of
which was dressed lumber which re-
quired the most careful handling, was
loaded and slowed on the vessel.
This remarkably-fast work was ac-
complished by Christie & Rivers, ste
vedores, while cargo was furnished
by the Pensacola Lumber and Timber
Company.
This ia<@he most rapid dispatch ever
given Steamship at the port of Pen
sacola, am will stand at the head of
quick steamer-loading at any gulf
port, competent men stated last night
But four days was the actual working
time, and cargo fell into the ship with
the most rapid handling possible. The
steamer arrived last Wednesday, Au-
gust A, and started cargo the follow
ing day, or August 5. By o'clock
yesterday, the ending of the fourth
day, not only was the steamer ready
for sea, but port record had been
established and the Keltier could have
crossed the bar last night had all ac-
counts and all the ships business
have been closed up.
Upon occasion of the same steam
ships voyage here some months ago
exceedingly quick dispatch was given
in placing a cargo of cross ties
aboard, dispatch of not more than
four days being given at that time
Upon occasion of the present voyage
however, the entire cargo consisted
of lumber, about onc-fourth of which
had to be handled exceedingly care
full to permit the parcel being in con-
dition to be received at port of desti-
nation, and it is possible that this
dressed lumber parcel caused the
steamer to be half day longer than
usual in taking cargo aboard.
The Keltier goes to Calais for or
ders.
