Some of tliein are in favor of the fight and have friends who are interested." Then you will employ the militia of some other point of the state?" Prepared In Any Event. "Yon may draw your own conclusion. The adjutant general has planned 'to cover every point which might be avail able and his men are men who may be depended upon. 1 am prepared in any event." "Now then," said the govemorin con clusion, "I think I have made myself plain. If anybody comes to Florida to see a fight and don't see one after spend ing time and money, he cau only blame himself.
