RESIDES IN WASHINGTON
ROOSEVELT NOT MUCH WORRIED

Albany, N. Y. September 2S.-The support CTS of Governor Black have tonight exposed their hand which has been responsible for their great confidence in their ability to de- feat Colonel Roosevelt for the gubernatoria nomination and which makes the nomina- tion of the colonel an impossibity.
 Colonel Roosevelt, they say is ineligible to run as candidate for governor in this state at this time and before twenty-fouI hours have elapsed that information with the specific reasons for his withdrawal from the contest will have become public prop erty and will have emanated from New York city.
 When Colonel Roosevelt was sworn in as assistant secretary of the navy he swore to his residence as Washington, D. c. The persons holding office in the federal gov federal constitution, however, provides that ernment retain their residence in the state from which they are appoined but when Colonel Roosevelt resigned from the navy department he retired to private life. There after he enlisted in the army and in accept ing lis commission again swore to his res idence as Washington, D. C.
 While this is the primary ground of the contention, it is claimed that further evi- dence of his ineligibility is afforded by the fact that when ne was assessed for per sonal property in the town of Oyster Bay he later appeared before the tax commis- sioners and swore off the assessment on the ground that he was not resident of Oys- ter Bay, but was resitSnt of Washing ton, D, c.

 TO SANTIAGO
Delivered a Speech Expressing
 Gratitude to America.
AFTER THIRTY YEARS OF WAR
The Cuban People Rejoice Over the Liberty They Have Won With the Assistance of the Armies
 of the United States.

Santiago, September 23.-To the residents of Santiago yesterday was the most im- portanl day since the equalization, as it was the occasion of the first visit of Gen eral Garcia to Santiago since he left there in a bad temper July r. At o'clock in the morning General Wood with a portion of General Lawton's staff and several Ameri- can officers, met General Garcia outside the city limits and escorted him into town. Garcia was accompanied by his staff and his son, Colonel Calixto Garcia, and 21O Cuban cavalry. The streets though which the party passed were thronged With cheer ing people. Garcia was met at the door of the palace by General Lawton, and an informal reception by the American officers was held by the Americans in the audience room. At night another reception was ten- dered General Garcia at the San Carlos club, which was filled with prominent Gu bans, American officers and ladies. In re- ply to a speech of welcome delivered by Senor Truzillo editor of El Pryenir Gen. eral Garcia said:
 After thirty years of desperate, deadly struggle, the Cuban people today celebrate the success of their efforts. It is a day for the remembrance of the names and deeds ol tHoSe uerOeS WHO lOuSHt ana uled TOT the freedom of Cuba from the years 1868 to 1878, and for the remembrance of the heroes who fought in the war of 1881, which was called the little war"-little only be- cause of its short duration, but great on account of the principles defended and for the quality of the men who composed the army, and for the remembrance of those noble soldiers who fell in the struggle which began in 1895, over whose graves our latest tears have fallen.
 "People of Cuba, we eve a great deht to those heroes for their efforts in h ha f of the Cuban indepe ndence, efforts which would have been useless-no, not useless for we would have triumphed: but mi speedily, if the American people with it's famous fighters, great ships and dauntless army had not sent its own sons to shed their blood with ours. A grand nation it must be, when the sons of mlionaires who had nothing to gain in Cuba, but a soldiers glory, should come here to die side by side by Cubans. This great nation ito this noble country which has always fought for the rights of literty-we owe the achievement of our independence and the consummaton of our ideals. Our grat- itude will long live for America"
 General Garcias speech, which was de- livered with considerable expression arous- ed much enthusiasm among the Cubans present.
 Garcia will remain in Santiago for sev- eral days as the guest of Cubans of this city.

He was taken to a hospital.
 Madame Paulmier was taken into cus- tody and when questioned, coolly anno. uc- ed: "I wished to kill M. Millerand."
 She explained that La Lanterne had slan- dered herself and her husband because her husband had written the letter to General Chanoine, the minister of war, with refer ence to putting stop to the attacks upon the army provoked by the Dreyfus affair.
 The military authorities have accomplish ed their plan of stifling Colonel Pcquart by placing him secret. Colonel Pic quarts friends have been denied admission to the prison. His counsel, Maitre La borie, has twice appeared at the office of the clerk of the court martial and applied for permission to see his client. On both of these occasions he was informed that Picquart had been placed au secret and could be seen only on order from the authorities which order M. Laborie has been unable to secure.

The General Hospital

New York, September 23.-At midnight Chairman B. E. Odell, Jr., of the repub- lican state committee, was interviewed at the Fifth avenue hotel by the Associated Press representative in reference to the alleged ineligibility of Colonel Roosevelt "We knew all about the affidavits signed by Colonel Roosevelt" said MT. Odell, ''and we are not in the least worried. The best judges of our city have the subject under consideration all day, and they are unani- mously of the opinion that there Is nothing in these documents to prevent the nomina- ton and election of Colonel Roosevelt. In the first place, there is abundant evidence that Colonel Roosevelt's real residence was at Oyster Bay. We have many letters and documents to show that MT. Roosevelt re- garded Oyster Bay as his real home. And the courts have decided that mans in- tent governs in the matter of residence. Mr. Roosevelt paid taxes at Oyster Bay his house was there, his servants there and his family there considerable part of the time.
 sUnder the laws of New York, assess ment cannot be levied on personal property except where man actually lives"
 "So you are convinced that MT. Roose- welt is eligible?' was asked.
 "Yes and what is more, we are going to nominate him and the people will elect him the next governor of New York"
 Colonel Roosevelt when seen in regard to the matter, said he did not care to make a statement. The story, he declared, of his not being a resident of New York state was without foundation. Colonel Roose- welt did not seem very much worried about the matter.

and flag covered casket was placed on the pedestals in front of the chancel, and Mrs. Davis, with her party, took seats. Soon the body of the church and galleries were filled. The galleries were the only portion of the church thrown open to the public. Rev. Dr. Carmichael announced the first hymn. How Firm a Foundation" which was favorite of General Lees.

"Art Thou Weary, was then sung and at its close the veterans moved out with the casket. Mrs. Davls was prostrated and could not at once take her place, but her daughter, Mrs. Hayes, whispered words of comfort and besought her to be brave. It was several minutes be- fore the grief-strcken mother could rise. The scene was deeply affecting and those who witnessed 1t were greatly moved. Many an old soldier, dressed in the gray that means so much to him., wept freely as he witnessed the grief of the aged lady.
 The crowd about the church when the casket was taken out and placed in the hearse was of immense proportions. AS far as the eye could reach up tranhlln street, that thoroughfare was crowded, ana Ninth street was damned for a block above and below the church. Perfect order was maintained, however, the marshal ana the police handling the crowd with little friction.

 R. E. Lee, Camp No. l, Confederate vet oterans, under command of Commander Laughton, headed by the First regiment band playing the "Dead March in Saul,' and the tolling of bells of many churches, the procession started towards Ho lywoc cemetery marching between crowds of peo- pie the entire distance.

In year of war and rumors of war

ture. Throughout the long drawn crisis
of the past spring and summer both the
Greek government and the Greek peo-
pie behaved toward the foreign repre-

extraordinary courtesy, detaching them
almost entirely from the feelings of ir-

Tested toward the European powers.
But with one-half of the available
peasantry drawn off for the fighting
line and reserves, and the other half

IL was naturally difficult to effect ex-
cavations during the spring.
