President Bonilla of Honduras has

stricken steamer, but the seas were so
high that the boats, were unable to
approach the Berlin close enough to
take off any of the pasa -ngers or crew

WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.—President
Roosevelt today was presented with a
splendid cup of honor, two feet high, as
a sample of Slavonic art. The cup was
given by Gen. Count Arthur DeTcher.h-
Spirldovitch. the president of the Slavic
Society of Moscow. The cup ?s of gold
and silver, with an incrustation of en
amel handwork. It is of old Slavic style,
standing on three lion legs and. is capped
with a helmet.
In handing President Roosevelt the cup.
the general expressed hi3 great honor and
pleasure in presenting a modo-at evidence
of esteem, love and admiration of all the
Slavonic people "for his noble work in
bringing about peace between Russia and
Japan.”
President Roosevelt, with warm expres
sions of gratitude, asked Gen. Spirit!
to cordiallv thank the society for the gift.
The President presented his visitor witn
two of his favorite photographs with his
autograph, one for the Slavonic Society
and one for the general's own use.
Following the presentation a beautiful

sentatives:
There is no place where the sun
shines more beautifully and where
the moon glows with her silvery
rays with greater grandeur than
along this beautiful river. .
Why. my friends this river has
been sought for far and wide by
those seeking that which was '
beautiful and that which was
grand. They have sought it be
cause of the fact that it furnished
an invitation to admire the beau
ties of nature, because along it
from one end to the other the
grandeur and sublimity of Al
mighty God’s Croatian shines forth
with a degree of perfection^thnt is
scarcely reached in any other coun
try in the world. ... It ap
peal? to the heart of every Ameri
can citizen throughout this broad
land: and the regret that they have
today, and they have expressed
that regret to me often, is thaj it
has b“en so long neglected. I have
heard its murmuring waves as they
went singing their beautiful song
toward the Gulf since the early
d->vs of mv childhood, and they
have continued to sing a'one the
pathway of my life and have given
me inspiration to love the beauties
of nature and admire those glories
that come a lope from the kind
creative hand above.
