Warrington April T.-Theodore Roosevelt
probably will resign his Office as Assistant Sec
rotary Of the Navy in case Of hostlities with
Spain to accept commission for active service
in the Army Nothing definite has yet been de-
cided upon as to what assignment he will have
but IL is believed that he would prefer 10 serve
with the New-Yorx State troops.
From the beginning OF the present difficulties
with Spain Mr.. Roosevelt has been prominent
among those who believe that war Is The only
solution OF the problem, and since the disaster
to the Maine his advice 10 the President and
the members Of the Cabinet has uniformly
been for immediate acton against the Spaniards
with the full power OF the Army and Navy
He has never doubted that the Spaniards were
responsible for the wreck OF the Maine, and
believes that act fully justifes an immediate
declaration Of war.
