PRESIDENT CONSIDERING HIM
The ST. Louis Man as n Probable Sue
cessor to ITltchcock-A Few Years or
Official Life Abroad Would BE Quite
Acceptable to Him.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 24.-The Presi-
dent now has at his disposal two first
class missicns-G:eas Britain and Rus
sia-paying annual salaries of BIT, 500
each, and one second class-Spain-
paying $4,000.
There is authority for the statement
that Mr.. Bliss retirement will have no
effect upon the determination OF the
President to appoint Joseph Ii. Choate
ambassador to England, but nobody
seems to know who will succeed Mr..
Hitchcock as ambassador to Russia.
One name has been mentioned, how
ever, and there is good reason to be-
lieve that it is now under con-
sideration by the President. This is
the name OF Richard G.. Kerens of
St. Louis. 1t is stated by n
of his friends to-day that for various
reasons, Kerens would like to go
abroad for Il few years and that he
would prefer to go as an ambassador
rather than as u private citizen. Mr..
Kerens has great influence with Presi-
dent Mckinley and it is possible that
his appointment as the successor OF
his friend, Mr.. Hitchcock, may yet be
announced.

COL. R0OSEVELT'S REPORT.

Rough Riders Report

War Department Makes Public tho
Rough Riders Report
WASHINGTON, Dec. 24.-The War De-
partment yesterday made public two
reports OF Colonel Roosevelt. on the
fights of the First United States vol
unteer cavalry Trough riders) in front
of Santiago. One is addressed to Col
onel Wood, commanding. and the other
is to Brigadier General Wood, after
Colonel Roosevelt took command of
the regiment. The War Department
has hitherto refused to make these re-
ports public
The second and more important re-
port, after describing the operations
and battles of his command up to the
time of the first truce, July 3, says:
For the next seven days. until the
10th, we lay in our line while the truce
continued. We had continually to work
at additional bomb-proofs, and at the
trenches, and as we had no proper
supply of food. and utterly inadequate
medical facilities, the men suffered a
good deal. The officers Clipped to-
gcther, purchased beans, tomatoes and
sugar for the men, SO that they might
have some relief from the bacon and
bareback. With q great deal of diff
Guilty, we got them coffee. AS for the
sick and wounded, they suffered so in
the hospitals when sent to the rear
for lack of food and attention that we
found it best to keep them at the front
and give them such care as our w
doctors could.
son the 10th, the truce was at an
end and the bonbardment reopened.
As far as our lines were concerned, it
was, on the Spanish part. very feeble.
We suffered no losses and speedily got
the fire from their trenches in our
front completely under. On the 18th,
we were moved three-quarters of a
mile to the right, the truce again
being on. Nothing happened here, X
cept we continued to watch and do our
best to get the men, especially the
Sick, properly fed, and having
no transportation and being able to
get hardly any through the regular
channels, we used anything we could
find, captured Spanish cavalry horses,
abandoned mules. which had been
shot, but which our mon took and
cured, diminutive, skinny ponies, pur-
chased from the Cubars, etc. BY this
can and by the excrticns of the
officers we were able, from time to
time, to get supplies OF beans, sugar
tomatoes and eve oatmeal, while
from the Red Cross people we got our
invaluable load OF rice, cornmeal, etc,
all of this being Of the utmost conse-
quence, not only for tha sick, but for
the ~nominally well, as the lack of
proper food was telling terribly on
the men. It was utterly impossible
to get them clothes and shoes. those
they had being in many cases literally
to pieces.

Filthy Troop Ships Packed With Living
and Dead Together Leave Havana.
NEW YORK, DEC. GA dispatch de-
scribing the embarkation of Spanish
troops from Havana says: The men
were scarcely able, after a quick march
through the town, to hold their places
in the boats taking them to tho trans
ports and several tainted from sheer
exhaustion on the way. AS for the sick,
their condition was beyond descrip-
ton. Suffering from all kinds Of dis
eases, principally fevers and horrible
skin complaints, many died before they
were lodged on board the fearfully
crowded transports.
The Cheribou was crowded from
truck to keelson, having more than
1000 men aboard, 600 of whom were
sick. These were crowded in cots on
the lower deck, surrounded by filth
of all descriptions and a stencil I'M
bearable. They had been only ten
hours aboard, but eight had died and
their bodies awaited burial when the
ship got to sea. Uncared for, living
and dead lay together, their bodies
touching, in some cases q dead mans
stiffened arm resting on the shoulder
of a still suffering comrade.
Three doctors and several hospital
corps will go with the ship, but there
is a total absence of medicines and
supplies. One doctor estimated that
30 per cent would die on the voyage.

HAVANA. Dec. 24.-Major RuSSeii
Harrison. the provost marshal. who on
Tuesday raised the stars and stripes
over Fort Atares without orders anu
in co~ntravention OF the promise OF the
United States evacuation commission
ers that no American flags should be
raised in Havana or its suburbs until
January /, was yesterday formally
reprimanded by Major General Lee,
who was instructed TO lower the flag.
Lieutenant Lee reported a few hou
later to headquarters that the flag had
been lowered.
Nevertheless, at the hour OF fling
this dispatch 1880 p. n.y.. it is still hy-
ing on d tall staff over the famous
fort, plainly visible from the harbor
and city.
Major General Lee, having received
a cable dis patch from Secretary Alger
saying that the secretary of war
understood that there were thousands
of persons starving in Havana and di-
recting him to feed them without de-
lay" Immediately ordered Lieutenant
Colonel Wood to distribute rations and
to make systematic efforts to feed the
helpless, carefully avoiding waste.
There are hundreds in Havana to-day
who, though not actually starving, are
in a deplorable state of weakness and
disease, the effects Of the cruel recon-
centration policy. They need hospital
treatment, which is not always avail
able. Much of the Indebtedness is
due to the neglected condition o. the
tenements. Every day or SO the relief
distributors come upon dead bodies
terribly emaciated.
