WASP BURNS
AT ANCHOR IN
HARBOR HERE
Origin of Fire Which Start
ed This Morning About 3
O'clock Is Not Yet Known

The old steamer barge Wasp which
has been anchored out in the stream
off Palafox wharf for the past TWO
weeks for repairs to her machinery
after having returned from a voyage
to the West Indies, caught fire from
some unknown cause this morning at
o'clock and burned to the waters
edge in comparatively short time
The old craft is generally well known
to local seamen and in shipping circles
in West India and South American
ports between which she has operated
for a number of years. At the PR sent
time she is owned by Capt. SomervilIe
of this city.
In the storm Of last September a
year ago, it viii be remembered, she
was overturned in the Gulf down the
coast and was salvag, after several
weeks. Capt II. T. hanson. deputy
harbor master here, was on her at the
time.

in speaking of the convention of the

Leesburg, Fla, said:

which was one of the most harmonious
ever held by the state association.

tesy shown the press by the people
of Leesburg. Tavares, Mt. Dorah, Eus-

South Florida has an erroneous i'm
preston of this section. and particu-
larly of Pensacola. and with the great
convention meeting here, these two
sections will be brought into closer
union, and Pensacola as we'll as the
very desirable publicity
In commenting on the meeting Mrs
Mayes stressed the wonderful hospi-
tanty Lnat Lake county showed the
delegates, and declared that Pensacola
would have to do its best, if this city
would equal the courtesy expressed by
the South Florida city. Mrs. Mayes
took occasion to call the attention of
the newspaper representatives to the
fact that when they visit Pensacola

steel shipbuilding plant and many har-
Dor improvements, but they will have
an opportunity to witness some things
for which this western section is fam
ed and which are not seen in South
Florida. notable examples of which are
the great plants which take the pine
tree and produce from it dozens of
different valuable products, utilizing
every particle of the tree, wood. resin,
bark, etc, and a model farm which
will compare favorably to those Of the
Biltmore estate in AsheviIIe, and which
produces a variety. such as is un-
known in the southern part Of the
state.

show the South Floridians," continued

show them any new brand of hospi-
