NO INFORMATION
HERE ON CLOSING
LOCAL ARMY POST
RUMORS CIRCULATED TO EF-
Feet THAT KEY WEST BAR
RACKS LISTED WITH THOSE
TO BE DISPOSED OF

No information is available at
this time as to what disposition is
to be made of Key West army
barracks, it was learned yester-
day, despite rumors to the effect
that the Army and Navy Register
of September 16 had Key West
named among the posts to be dis
posed of.
The Register of that date speci-
fically shows that President Roose-
welt recently announced about so
posts would be abandoned and a
like number retained.
About $50,000,0OO is to be al
located from the Public Works
funds for repairs and improve
ments to the posts decided on, the
names and locations of which
have not been determined.
Making Study
A study is now being made of
all posts and stations in the Unit
ed States but no definite informa-
ton will be available until the
study now under way is complet-
ed, the Register shows.
The article which was the prob
able basis for the rumor appeared
in the same issue under headlines
dated as of May, 1881, and among
the posts named for disposal at
that time was Key West barracks.
Immediately after the news
was received in Key Wect the
local chamber of commerce sent
a telegram, on May %, 1881, TO
Ruth Bryan Own, then represen-
tative in Washington from this
district.
The telegram cited United
Press dispatch sent out from Wash
ington announcing among army
posts listed for abandonment Key
West barracks. and asked to be
advised if "war department has
received authority TO abandon
Key West barracks and of Fort
Taylor, Key West, with its care
taking detachment is included
with the barracks
Obtained Reply "a {.
A reply was received the same
afternoon from Mrs. oven. She
wired Gam assured by war depart
ment that while Key West bar
racks will not be utilized by the
army. there is no intention to
abandon Fort Taylor. A care
taking detachment will remain
there and will naturally be pro-
vided with necessary housing.
There is no elaborate building pro-
gram contemplated but there viii
probably be construction of Ger
tain army huts to accommodate
detachment. In the proposed re-
trenchment program a great many
posts will be abandoned entirely
but Fort Taylor is not among
these"

TONS MADE AT MEETING
TUESDAY NIGHT; ANNUAL
OFFICERS ELECTION HELD

The local American Legion post,
at it's regular meeting Tuesday
night, voted unanimously to COM

secretary of the navy, secretary
of war and the Florida senator's
and representatives, urging them
to use their influence at once in
reopening the local naval station
and replacing the army barracks

basis.
In making this appeal to the sec

post will stress the Importance of
the strategical location of this
city and its proximity to Cuba,
the Panama Canal and other Cen
trail and South American Repub-
lies, also the desirability of these

cost and be of more practical
value to the country than are sim
liar stations in other sections, it
is stated.
Now is the opportune time"
said Post Commander p. R. Rob-
erts, who brought the matter up
for discussion, Ito bring this mat
ter forcibly to the attention of
the powers that be. With the I'M

patching so many of its fighting

more readily see the feasibility
and Importance of these bases.

American missionaries at Tungchow, 13
miles east of here, said today there was
renewed fighting last night on the east
ern outskirts of the town despite re-
ports of Chinese-Japanese truce in
the North China war zone.
Ten Chinese were killed, said the
missionaries, who are connected with
the American Board of Missions. They
have stuck to their posts after evacuat-
ing from Tungchow between 10 and 80
American children who attended school
there
Chinese reinforcements were said to
be arriving. with further hostilities ap-
parently imminent.
Crowded With Refugees.
The Tungchow Mission compound
was crowded with 10000 Chinese
refugees.
Peiping, however, was more peaceful
today than tor many days. Relief was
marked as the result of yesterdays re-
ported truce.
Chinese reports yesterday were that
Chinese military leaders had been given
three days to comply with unrevealed
Japanese peace terms.
There was no agreement, however, in
Chinese press reports concerning the
reputed armistice agreement. One sec
tion proclaimed that war has ceased
on all fronts" while another main
tanned "the war operations continue,
with the Japanese nearer Peiping."
The line to which Chinese forces were
expected to Withdraw, believed to be one
of the specifications of the truce. was
described as running from Lutai, about
80 miles from Tientsin toward the coast,
to Tungchow and then circling the an
cient capital on the east and north at
a distance of approximately 20 miles.

There is no reason to believe there
