PRESSURE PUT ON

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.

According to local information
there is tremendous amount of
pressure being brought to bear
on the P! & o. to have it resume
its twice weekly to Havana sail
ing out of this port.
The Chamber of Commerce, the
Navy Department, city council,
county commissioners and con-
facts at St. Petersburg and Tam
pa are trying to force the P. & O.'s
hand.
Navy is going to make it es-
pecially tough for P. & o. be-
cause it will need shipments for
the Key West Station through the
Mobile, Tampa and Key West
route. The new schedule gives
poor service for the entire west
coast of Florida.

TEMPERED WITH LATE
AGREEMENT GIVING
CREW LIBERTY
tBy Associated Press,


BUENOS AIRES. Dec. 49,
Diplomatic victory for Britain
in the case of the 1000 members
of the scuttled Maxi pocket bat
fleship. Admiral Graf Spec. was
tempered somewhat today. when
Argentine officials declared that
the internment last evening or
dered for the crew would. in all
likelihood. be altered TO parole.
British brought considerable
pressure to bear on Argentinian
government officials to force in
ternment for the surviving men,
bers of the Graf Spec crew who
arrived here late yesterday, and
the decision to intern all of the
crew was considered a stable
victory to match the decision
that reduced the number of
pocket battleshipS to two.
Argentine officials today
stated, however, that instead of
concentrating the men in prison
camps, under strict surveillance,
a condition of parole would be
put into effect, with all men
free to pursue normal activities
but prevented to leave this city.
