It was Roosevelt day at Saratoga,
and Governor Black realizes more
keenly than ever what Rough Rider
is Teddy of the teeth. By the way
imagine Tom Platt, if you can, in the
role of mentor to impulsive Teddy
Roosevelt, trying to teach him to act
on the motto, "See me before you ex-
press any opinions on anything"

The school children here are behav-
ing terribly, according to the point of
view 1t has been discovered that
many of the halliday pupils are at
tending the morning halliday classes
IN one school aud the afternoon half
day classes in another. This is awful!
If David Bennett Hill is still in a
receptive mood, let him kindly raise
both hands. His fellow Democrats
are naturally curious to see whether
he has any knives, clubs or other har-
mony-restorers in them.

Orders Issued for Removal of Five
Regiments From Santiago.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 4-Upon being
informed of the request of the COM
manding officers at Santiago to have
them moved Immediately, the officials
Of the war department said this request
had been anticipated and they had been
preparing for the removal of Gen. Shaf-
ter's force to the United States. They
had arranged for an ideal camp at
Montauk Point, l.. l., and orders were
sent forward yesterday to begin the
homeward movement by embarking at
Santiago five cavalry regiments of
Skaters forces, including Roosevelt s
rough riders. 1t is t,A intention Of the
department, and Gen. Shafter was in
structed to so inform the troops pub
licly, to conduct this movement as
rapidly as the resources of the gov
ernment will permit, having a regard to
the safety of the men themselves. 1t
was not deemed possible nor desirable
to bring them all here at one time, not
only from the lack of transports, but
for medical reasons, physicians repre-
senting that a sudden change in climate
would probably kill many of the SOL
diers who have not passed the convale-
scent stage. So it was the purpose to
remove to the mountains back of San
tiago such of the commands as could
not be embarked Immediately and to
place them amidst the best hygienic
surroundings while they were waiting
for their turn to embark, and ships
could be supplied more rapidly.

NEW YORK, Aug. 4.-Col. J. Morris
Brown, the head of the medical supply
depot here, received today a communi-
cation from Miss Helen Gould, saying
that Ira E. Bennett, of San Diego, Call,
had telegraphed to her, offering car
lead of lemons for distribution among
the army hospitals. Col. Brown
promptly replied that the gift would
be very acceptable.
Maj. William H. Arthur. in charge of
the hospital ship Missouri, received a
letter from Miss Gould this morning
as follows:
rs there anything in the way Of sulp'ies
or apparatus that would contribute to the
comfort of the sick and wounded on board
the Missouri? This association would gladly
contribute to the equipment of the ship un-
der your direction and on receipt Of instruc-
tions from you. Respectfully,
Helen Miller Gould"
The association meant is the Wom-
ans National War Relief association,
on whose paper the letter was written.
Maj. Arthur answered that he would
like the association to furnish four
electric ward kitchens. He received
telegram from Miss Gould asking him
to forward an estimate of the cost of
the kitchens, and stating that the as
sociation would gladly supply them.
1t is estimated that they will cost $500

WHY sAGAsTA IS SLOW.
Spanish Premier Is Catering TO
Madrid Public Opinion.

LONDON, Aug. 5-The Madrid cor
respondent Of the Times says: Though
peace is regarded as assured. 1t NAV
not be attained so quickly as is gen.
orally expected. Senior Sagasta OBJ
jects to being hustled, and insists on ey-
erything being done in a quiet. orderly
and dignified manner He considers If
necessary to have full and satisfactory
explanations as to all doubtful points.
SO as to enable him best to protect the
national interests against the aggres-
sive tendencies of the Washington cab
met. He has to examine very minutely
the exigencies of the international pol
Icy and home problem, so as to avoid
public dissatisfaction and political un-
rest. The Spanish people, though sim
cerely desirous of peace, are disposed
to admire this hesitancy, and the pre-
mier is holding out to the last, though
aware that it implies greater sacrifices.
AS an illustration of this attitude.
while Gen. Toral is blamed for the
downfall at Santiago, Capt. Gen. Au-
gusti, continuing a hopeless resistance
at Manila, bids fair to be a popular
hero.
1T would be premature to suppose
that the political consultations now
proceeding forshadow the resignation
of the Liberal cabinet when peace is
proclaimed. The Conservatives have
so constantly and Loyalty supported
Sagasta throughout the war that no
factious opposition need be feared from
them''

ship comes in close to shore, and this,
with the constant rumors of immi-
nent bombardment, keeps the Span
iards in continual fright. If there are
any loyal Spaniards in Porto Rico the
American have not found them The
army has been here almost week,
and with the exception Of one night
not shot has been fired.
Besides the towns already mentioned
in these dispatches nine others have
signified their delight at the coming of
the Americans. These towns are Ar
royo, Patillas, Yabucoa, Salinas, Santa
Isabel, Adjuntas, Penuelas, Guayabal
and Guayama. There were Spanish
troops in all of the important towns in
this list. Guayama had a large garri-
son. It was reported to the American
camp that these soldiers intended to
make a fight, and his morning Gen.
Wilson sent two companies there. On
the way the Americans met couriers
who said that the citizens had ardered
the Spaniards out of town and hois:ed
the American flag. The Americans
thought this was trick, and observed
great caution in approaching the town,
but getting nearer they saw the Amer
lean flag waving in the distance, and
marched into town without hesitation.
Here they found a bigger reception
than that which was given them at
San Diaz. The American flag was
waving over the public buildings and
not man in the town had opposed its
being raised. The bands were playing
American airs and the women fell upon
their knees and worshiped our soldiers.
The mayor made speech, in which
he said the day Of the deliverance CT
Porto Rico had come. The enthusiasm
of THE people was unbounded Crowds
followed the soldiers everywhere, and
the Americans could hardly get away
from them.

Tart Response to a Letter Addressed
to Secretary of War Alger.

to Secretary of War Alger.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 4.-The follow
Ing correspondence has passed between
Col Roosevelt and Secretary Alger:
Santiago, July %, 1S9S.-My Dear Mr.. Sc
retary: l am writing with the knowledge and
approval of Gen. Wheeler.
We earnestly hope that you will send us-
most of the regulars, and at any rate the cav
airy division, including the Rough Riders,
who are good as any regulars, and three
times good as any state troops-to Porto
Rico There are 1880 effective men in this
division. If those who were left behind were
joined to them we could land at Porto Rico
in this cavalry division close to 4,C00 men,
who would be worth, easily, any 10000 ma
tional guards armed with black powder,
Springfelds or other archaic weapons. Very
respectfully, Theodore Roosevelt.
The following reply was cabled to Col.
Roosevelt today:
You letter of 23d is received. The regu-
lar army, the volunteer army and the rough
riders have done well, but 1 suggest that
unless you want to spoil the effects and glory
of your victory, you make no nvidious
comparisons. The rough riders are no better
than other volunteers. They had an advan-
tage in their arms. for which they ought to
be very grateful.

Of yesterday, from Santiago from Miss
Clara Barton. The message conveys
the information that there are sufficient
supplies on hand at the Red Cross base
for the present, with the exception of
rice, for which there is much need.
Supplies for Miss Barton will be sent
to Gibara and Baracoa on the northern
coast. Great suffering is known to eX-
list in both cities, and it is thought
Miss Barton intends to take up the re-
lief there Immediately.
According to Miss Barton's cable
gram, there is now but one hospital
at Siboney. All the others have been
removed to the better location at San
tiago. Ice is being distributed under
the direction of the Red Cross daily in
the Santiago hospital, and being sent
in sufficient quantity to the hospital at
Siboney.
The schooner Mary E. Morse, which
was sent south by the ice plant aux
| iliary, from the Kennebec river, about
a fortnight ago, is now discharging her
cargo at Santiago.

has been referred to the local Tautai

dilatoriness in the matter is declared to
be due to Russian bribes.
1T is impossible to overestinate the
importance Of obtaining a proper foot

influence preponderates.

Of the United States minister and his
