Wants 20 Serve in the Army In ths
Event OrWar with Spain.

Washington, April 19.-Theodore
Roosevelt probably will resign his Of
flee as assistant secretary to the ma
Wy, in case of hostilities with Spain,
to accept a commission for active
service in the army. Nothing def
mite has yet been decided up' as to
what assignment he will accept, but
It is believed that he would prefer TO

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

ADMIRAL SICARD.
HIS Sick Leave Is Revoked and He Is
Ordered 20 Report for Duty.

Ordered 90 Report for Duty.
Washington, d. c., April 19.-Prob-
ably with the view of availing him
self of the large experience of Rear
Admiral Sicard, Secretary Long has
revoked the sick leave of that officer
and ordered him to duty in his own
office at the navy department. The
admiral at presen, is at his home in
New York state, and is expected to
report at the department within the
next twenty-four hours. Being thor
oughly familiar with every detail of
construction and the strength and
weakness of all of the vessels of the
feet under Captain Dampson's COM
mand, as well as thos now lying at
Hampton Roads under command of
Commodore Schley, the admiral is eX-
pected to be of great assistance to
the department i the arrangement
Of any plans of campaign.
The st. Paul is expected to arrive
at League island some time during
The day if the tide serves, having
passed the capes early in the morn
ing. 1t is believed that about ten
days time, working day and night,
will suffice to make the necessary al
terations in the vessel She will be
given light armored protection over

lertake voluntarily to cope with full
lodged warships carrying heavy guns
md armor protection, but she is fleet
enough to escape from such craft and
ler field operations probably will be
confined to the running down of craft
Of her own kind that may be COM
nissioned by the Spanish government
as privateers or commerce destroy
,rs.
The navy department has changed
its plans as to the Venezuela, just
purchased from the Red d line. In
stead of using the vessel as an auxil-
larry cruiser, as originally intended,
she is now destined to employed
as a transport for marines. These
will be gathered up at the principal
Atlantic ports, placed on the Vene-
zuela and transported to Key West
and Hampton for detail to the fleet
there. The Venezuela is at present
At the Morgan iron works, New York,
where work has begun upon her.
Third Assistant Secretary Cridler
has returned to Washington from
Paris and resumed his duties at the
state department today. He does not
expect that it will be necessary to de-
5ote further attention to his work in
connection with the Paris exposition
until next fall. He says that he was
accorded every courtesy by the
French officials, and is firmly con-
Vinced that there is absolutely no
chance either at present or in the
'uture of any active interference by
The French government to prevent
the execution of the plans of the
United States respecting Cuba.

GENERAL LEE THE MODEL MAN.
An Eloquent Tribute Paid to Him
by DIR. Jones.

Quite an attentive and appreciative au-
dience gathered in the hall of Richmond
College last night TO hear the lecture Of
Rev. j. William Jones, d. ID. His sub
ject was one which lies close to his heart
and one which would interest every
southern audience. 1t was "R. l.. Lee,
the Model Man"
DR.. Boatwright introduced DR.. Jones,
saying in his remarks that there was no
man in all the land who knew this sub
ject better than the lecturer of the eve
ming. HE is" said DIR. Boatwright, the
great champion Of the Southern Confede-
racy In our day."
Or. Jones began by saying that he
would not talk OF General Lee as a sol
dier-he could talk of that for hOurs-but
would speak Of him as the model man"
His leading characteristic was devotion
to duty When boy he devoted so much
she called him both a son and daughter
TO her." He never received a single de-
merit during his whole cadetship at west
Point. AS a soldier during the Confede-
racy and as the president or great col
lege, duty was his guiding star. Gene
raj Lee said: DUTY is the sublimest
word in the English language" Lee was
originally opposed TO secession, but when
his native State called he answered her
call He considered IL his duty 10 ally
himself with the Confederacy. and could
not have pursued any other course with
out dshonor 10 himself, his family, and
his native heath. 1t had been denied that
he was offered the supreme command' or
the United States army by President LIN
coin but all such denials were false, DR..
Jones declared.
General Lees family" Dr. Jones said,
could be traced back to Robert Bruce,
OF Scotland, but I'm my mind he was such
a king among men that he did not need
royal blood. He had a cause, II any man
ever had 10 be eg0tistc yet ne was not.
He was governed exclusively by modest
humility simplicity, and gentleness. He
was the idol of his soldiers, the id0l or
the people. and IS the idol Of the world.
II General Lees orders had been carried
out I'm the charge at Gettysburg the VIC
tory would have rested on the Confede-
rate forces, Baltimore and Philadelpnia
would have been easily taken, and, l
beleve-call il extravagant language II
Won please-that we could have dictated
terms of peace in Madlson-Square Car
den. New York, or on the green before
Bunker Hill. in Boston
General Lee was, the speaker continneu,
one OF the most genial gentlemen that
ever breathed the pure air OF old VIZ
ginia. He was fond of a good story ana
loved TO get off bit of quiet humor az
the expense of his friends; was pertect
IN his home. and was never more happy
than when he was serving others, me
browning characteristic OF X. T.. Lee WAS
mai he was a Christian. He believed In
the old Book from lid 10 lid. ana had no
idea OF some OF the modern theolosy
which Is harped upon so much these Jay ,.
Of him Il can be truly said that ne " aS
a living epistle, known and read OF al
men.
