SUSPICIOUS ON FACE OF THEM
SATISFACTORILY EXPLAINED
TO COUNTY SOLICITOR.

Allegations that whiskey had been
sold in violation of the statute at the
San Carlos hotel were probed by the
county solicitor yesterday, but the
house was absolved from all violation

who affected the Arrest of an attacne
of the pace, but there wos no viola
tion OF the law proven. and of course
no information was filed.
1t was couple of days ago, the story
goes, when things did not look right
to the officer. On one of the floors, it
is said, dozen .fcold ones" was dis
covered in the possession of a colored
boy empoyed there, and it is said the
package was Immediately confiscared.
Then the proceedings went higher. and
finally reached the solicitors offlce.
At the hearing yesterday managers
of two telegraph companies were sub
poenaed, with instructions to bring a
certain telegram from a man named
Cobb at Aadalusia. the managers Being
specifically directed to reproduce sucn
message, addressed TO either the hotel
or the importation COM
pany. The managers responded to the
writ and both denied that they had re-
ceived during the day any telegram
addressed to the San Carlos Importa-
ton Company. The case of cold
drinks, however. had been ordered. it
was claimed. delivered to the room
where Mr.. Cobb and a friend were TO
occupy, and the transaction was viewed
with suspicion until one of the tele-
graph managers produced telegrapnlc
order timed at III p. m, ordering that
such and such an order, addressed to
the Pensacola Importation Co, be plac-
ell in their room. This was all In
proper shape, and was no violation OF
the O'Clock closing regulation, hence
there was no case.
While the investigation was in pro-
eress. however, rumors were that the
deputies had gotten busy and had
"landed' one of the places said to have
been under fire by the governor, and
referred to by members Of vigilance

that the death rate in battle has been
eight per thousand while there was

The officials said this undoubtedly
was the lowest death rate among

the American forces were too busy
pressing their offensive to even at
