of the situ.ilion was the sudden .and x .ul- at
sundering of the ties which bound the p.i~t

Tlvodore Roosevelt. If In were only tlm
her.i of a brilliant . barge on th.- battlelb-ld,
and there was nothing else which tittea
him for this high |da<-e, 1 would not put
him In nomination. But Colonel Roosev.lt

three months. H is not time which tells
with an executive mind and restles.- energy
like Roosevelt’s, but opportunity, (live him

held two positions which generally ruin the
holder of them with politicians .and tlm
unthinking. Pne was civil service commis
sioner ami the other police eommissmti.T
f,,r New York city. So long as the public
did not understand him there was plenty
of lurid language and gnashing of teeth.
The people are always just m Ute end. Det
them know everything th it <• an be said
about a man and see all that the sear, h
light of publicity- w.ll reveal and their ver
dict is the truth.
"Colonel Roosevelt is the typical cltiz.cn

These portions of his speech relating to
President McKinley were received with
much applause and there was a vigorous
reception of the tribute to Governor Black.
When Mr. Depew told of the famous charge
of the Rough Riders and mentioned Colonel
Roosevelt the audience went almost crazy.
When Mr. Depew had reached the point
in his speech where he alluded to the
non-effect of Mauser bullets, two or three
men rushed down the aisle bearing a big
portrait of Colonel Item.-’ v* It In Rough

interruption, amt the picture was taken

of Uhe army and navy, and the conduct

MARK HANIM
SEC, ALGER BOUNCED
Ohio Senator Holds a Long
Conference With Presi
dent McKinley.
TALK WAS INTERESTING
Secretary of War Returns to Washing
ton with an Elaborate Plan To
Correct Errors in Hospital
Service Which Have
Brought Abuse.
By Jos: Ohl.
Washington. September 29.—(Special.)—
Senator Mark Hanna Is troubled over the
republican prospects in the approaching
November electloeis. He confided its trou
bles to I’re.sident McKinley today during
a long conference at the white house. \\ lien
Senator Hanna w.uj announced the presi
dent had but a few minutes previoti.sly In
dulged in a lengthy discussion of foreign
affairs with his new secretary, Joint Hay.
Senator Hanna soon chased out of the
presidential mind all thoughts of Huropean
polities and brought hint face lo face with
the domestic political situation as viewed
by the repub lean < >ngr sion H committee.
As has hem stated, an alarm ha.- been
sounded through the republican camp to
tho effect that democratic sue:c-.- in tlie
congressional elections i.s threatened unless
the pending war s. a ndu is are quickly sub
dued. Certain members of tho republican
congressional committee are er, dited with
urging Senator Hanna to hurry on t >
Washington and confer with the president
In tho interest of relf-vi ig r the grand old
party from the burden of Algorism.
This is .said to have 1" ' it the .subject of
the senator's long talk with the president
today. When the hour for luneh-.m ar
rived Senator Hanna had but fairly started
to unfold his tale of woe, so he was in
vited to top to lun tnd continue iI .
narrative at bls leisure. The result of this
conference may develop later, but at pres
ent the president does not see lus way
ch ar to unload Secretary Alger.
Alger Trying To Correct His Error
Since Alger’.s return from his tour of
southern camps be has taken great yarns
to le t the pu ’ ''
a plan to redeem the hospital service from
criticism. In a word, 1 ■ contemp ates a
reorganization of the ’ .'Pital s. rv.ee in
Hie field. On Id- tour b, conformd with the
commanding oflle rs a 1 me <iHi''-
at tho catni>s and with t ie fifteen colonels
whorn he met, looking to the ascot tin
ment of their views upon the rel.itiv.- met
its of the division ho.-y fa) and the regi
mental hospital. J-'.-ieh t-u.l strong i-lxo
cat' -, but Alger is n>w emtu-ivoring to
reconcile their divergent views.
The defect of the divl lon hospi'nl in the
minds of the soldiers is the s. parat n of

His Plans Given Out.
Secretary Alger has framed a project
winch he now has under eonsideiation foi
the amalgamation ot the hospitals, in s i' a
a manner as to retain tho most desirable
I'ea.tuies of both. His plan is to have ll"'
division hospital arranged in sections oi
tents lying in wings branching oil from a
central aisle. Th. .i- i.m be very easily
made, by the use of i few Hies, and a prop, r
conni ■ n“A '■ ■ j li: “
the sections ate to be dieted to the diltei
in 1 ' hin <
of one of the regimci ial doctors, yet re
ceiving the attention of the high-class tal
ent and female nursatg which i.s possible
only in the big division hospitals. In tids
way the m<n could pr- .--rvd ti.. individual
ity of their commands, and the idea may
be curled out so :ar as to sub-divide Hi ■
sections into small. ■ s. . lions, assigning one
to each company in the regiment, and tihus
enabling Hie sick men lo make sure of fall
ing in wit'li their inal -: when they go to
the hospital.
General Francis V. Greene, who has just
returned here, b< in ; in ommand of a por
tion of the ti ><ips n tin 1 ’' l ’ ipine islands,
had a second cons, ren • with the presid., nt
today. General Gr. eii.- staled on . aving
that he bad no intention of tendering his
resignat ion to till, pre? lent, as long us the
war is on. He said h would resign when
the treaty of p.-i .. xvas signed, but had
no intention of doing- so until that time.

HOBSON BEGINS ON THE COLON.
War Department Informed of the Rais
ing - of the Maria Teresa.
■Washington, September 26.—Acting Secre
tary Alien received a cablegram front Cap
t tin Goodrich, of thti Newark, the senior
otlieer of the station at Guantanamo, con
firming the report of the raising of tlie
Spanish fi i: hip Maria Teresa hist S.'ilnr
day. The work, of wrecking this ship was
directly in charge of Constructor Hobson.
Now that the Teresa has been raised, he
has been instructed to resume work on the
Colon and begin operations toward wreck
ing the Mercedes, which Iles without the
mouth of the Santiago harbor close to the
M.-iilniae in smooth water and wi ll situat
ed for sin wrecking. The T'-r- -a
will be brought north, probably to Nor
folk. as soon as she Is In condition to un
dertake tlie voyage.
Th. wreckers, who have successfully ac
complished their work, have earned a large,
sum of money under tlie salvage, laws tho
exact sum of which will probably be deter
mined by an admiralty court. It is the
present purpose of the department to place
the Teresa in commission as a United
States naval v-sw'l, and following the Eng
lish custom. Iter name Is likely to remain
unchanged to carry into the future the
glory of the .\merlcan victory.
Hobson Used Dynamite.
Santiago, September 26.-Details just re
ceived of tlie Heating of the Spanish ar
mored cruiser Mafia Teresa show that,
with the help of dynamite, she was blown
off the rocks it.to deep water on September
23d and proceeded under iter own steam
some time afterwards to Guantanamo, ac
companied by one of tile tugs of the Merritt
\Vt 'eking ('onipany. She will shortly leave
for N -w York.
N.ival (,'onstrtictor Hobson says he can
raise tho Spanish < ruiser Cristobal Colon
with the uso of bags in a week if given
autl'ority to do so. Commodore Watson
thinks Ito cannot.
’i'll. Colon, it appears, was not seriously
damagi d by shells, but her valves vv. re
opened, which caused her to sink. The,
oilier two Spanish cruisers sunk in tho
battle of Santiago, the Almir.iute < >qu ndo
and Vizcaya, ar,- useless wrecks of melted
iron. Hobson says he expects to return to
New York on the Colon.

WATSON BACK FROM SANTIAGO.
Commodore Says Hobson Can Save the
Cristobal Colon.
Boston, Mass., September 26.—Commodore
Matson arrived today from Guantanamo.
He spoke with much appreciation of what
Lieutenant Ilobsou had done to save the
Infanta Maria Teresa, but said that they
had quite a little difficulty with the wreck
ing company. MTiile such work was neces
sarily a gamble, he thought that there was
a good ••banco that the Cristobal Colon
could also be raised if tin.- government
gives permission. Hobson had earned a
right to this chance by his success with
the Teresa.
The Chapman M’rccking Company at first
reported that saving these ships was im
possible, but Lieutenant Hobson had a long
talk with the head of the company, Cap
tain Merritt, and convinced him that the
work could be done, and It was understood
that a contract hail been made for the
raising of the Colon, and that Lieutenant
Hobson bod airbags and pontoons ready
for the work. It only remains for the gov- I
ernni. nt to decide what amount of money I
can lie tin illy risked in the undertaking.
Commodore Watson explained that tho
Colon lies almost exactly on her beam ends,
within large portion of her length pro
truding over deep Water. She has be.-u pro
noun.'id structurally intact, having receiv
ed no fatal injuries to her hull, and it is
a feat of engineering rather than the work
of a wrecking master to right her, twist
her around and give iter buoyancy enough
so that she can be. floated into a place of
safety.

Germany Is Supplying the Rifles, Am

San Francisco. September 27.—The Even
ing Post reiterates its former stories re
garding the supplying of arms to the
Filipinos by the German government and
is positive that its authority is absolutely
correct.
The I’ost published an interview with
Ils unnamed informant today, in which lie
says that he is not in a position to tell
tho full story, for tlie reason that he is
financially interested in the, plot and lias
actually been a party to the scheme.
He says that lie is interested in the
German Philippine trade to the ext.-nt of
nearly a million dollars and that for fif
teen years Germany lias lr-eii working
among the insurgents for her own benelit,
and ho also told The Post that thete
would never have been a revolution had
it not been for the German government.
Continuing, he said:
“The arms that have been supplied came
from the imperial governm.nt and were
furnished through the trading companies
In which 1 am Interested, so as to con
ceal the German hand.
“Tho arms that are now being carried
to the Insurgents by German vessels are
from the same source. Aguinaldo. who
accepted a petty bribe to desert the cause
of the Insurgents, has not the money to
arm and equip a big army and it has taxed
his resources to furnish such supplies
alone.
“My information is absolutely authentic,
as it comes f rom high offlelals of the gov
ernment, who have large personal Interests
In tho Philippine islands. Germany is

of volunteers for distinguished services in

with a view to Che recognition of the in

General Greene and staff called at the
adjutant general’s otlice -this afternoon and
were escorted to the white house by Gen

desirous of conferring with the president,
and the question of their reception was un

this afternoon. There is no doubt that
the president will grant them an audience

The delegates were tthe center of much

characteristics of Hie Spanish and the

the best quarters in tlie hotel, including a
large suite wittt parlors and baths. The
Chief delegate, Mr. Agonclilo, speaks no
English, though he understands the lan
gu'agc. and his interviews are carried on
through Mr. Lopez, who has a fairly good
command of English. Mi Lop 1
no instructions had yet been received from
tho Philippine government, but th.-.-e were
expected very soon as a guide to the future
movements of t'he 'l' legiit'-s. Mr. Agom-illo,
he said, had cabled to the government an
nouncing th.-lr arrival in Washington. This
being known at home, instructions would
be cabled at once. Until then Mr. I.opez
said there was no exact line of action t >
be announced. It was hoped tha. the
president would do them tlie honor of re
e 4ving them. As to the white house call,

Paterno was educated in Europe and spent
twenty-three years in traveling and obser
