ROOSEVELT TALKS TO
CHICAGO CROWDS
New York's Governor Given a Warm
Welcome in the Western
Metropo1is

CHICAGO, April 9.-Governor Theodore
Roosevelt of New York, who is to be the
guest Of honor OF the Marquette Club at
its annual Appomattox day banquet to-
morrow, arrived in Chicago this evening
The train bearing the Governor was met
at the suburban station of Englewood by
reception committee, which was, how
ever, lost in an immense and enthusiastic
crowd that had gathered. The Governor
was forced TO come to the platform of his
car and say few words. From the mo-
ment Governor Roosevelt left his car at
the Lake Shore depot, where he was met
by an escort of eight Rough Riders, to
the doors of his hotel, he was surrounded
and followed by crowds, which cheered
him every time he moved and shook his
hand till the Governor was forced to de-
sist from sheer exhaustion. This evening
Governor Roosevelt was given q dinner
at the Union League Club. Here again
he was given a warm welcome and in
return made short speech.
a short time previous Governor Roose-
welt had dropped the remark that he was
the sort Of a cog that breaks away when
the machine does not go right. In his
speech he began by advising the seventy
men sitting around the tables to stay out
altogether rather than cast conscience

of house. he said. There is haDpi-
ness and peace in politics. I suppose

man, but as for peace and the Gov
ernor paused.
He spoke sarcastically of so-called re-
formers, whose agitation in many cases
he said, helped to elect rogues. Governor
Roosevelt called them the "goo-goos" and
declared he had reached the point where
it hurt him to have such men identified
with him.

the beach near Malate, south of
Manila, to the shore of Laguna
de Bal, beyond Pasig, a distance
of about seven miles.
The withdrawal of the eigh-
teen companies constituting
the expeditionary force made a
gap in the line from the beach to
Culiculi, just southwest of San
Pedro Macate, which was subse-
quently filled by the Fourth Reg
ular Infantry.
The rebels on the extreme
right had evidently been in
formed of the withdrawal of the
troops and they attempted to
sneak through after nightfall, but
were met with a warm reception
and fell back in disorder on dis
covering that the line was still
intact.

ices over the remains of the members of

and curious crowd. Fifty policemen kept
the immense throng in order

the dead, six in all, were placed in the
back parlor of the palatial residence and
arranged in the shape of a crescent. In
the center was the casket containing the

There were no ceremonies save the ora

Ethical Culture Society, nor was there
any music. All was plain and simple. in

Correspondence of the Associated Press.
ON BOARD THE UNITED STATES
ARMY TRANSPORT GRANT, SINCA-
PORE, March 3.-The officers of the de-
tachment of troops which the Grant is
hurrying to reinforce the American
army at Manila make no secret of the
fact that their men are not fit for i'm
mediate service. Hardly 20 per cent OF
the Fourth Infantry and the battalion
of the Seventeenth on board the Grant
are veterans. The others are recruits,
all of whom were enlisted within two
months of sailing from NV York and
some of whom were taken in during
the last day or two. Their drill has
been limited to what the small deck
space Of a crowded transport will allow,
and during the first month of the voy-
age it amounted TO little more than
setting up" exercises.
Save for the recurrence of Cuban
fever, which frequently attacks even
veterans, the physical condition of the
troops is excellent.

LAYTON EXPECTED TO
CAPTURE SANTA CRUZ

WASHINGTON. April 9-The War
Department authorities look for i'm
portant news from Manila tomorrow
announcing, in all probability. the cap
ture of the city of Santa Cruz, a lead
ing town in a country as yet untouched
by the American forces and now in the
hands of the Filipino forces. No re-
port of the movements of General Law
toms men has been made to the War
Department, but the Associated Press
announcement occasioned no surprise.
for the move is looked upon as one of
the natural steps in General Otis care
fully laid plans against the insurgents.
Santa Cruz is a place of considerable
Importance in several respects. 1t is
the capital of the Province.of La Guna.
and has a population, according to the
best available information here. of con-
siderably more than 1900 persons.
1t is regarded as likely that General
Lawton already has gained possession
Of this stronghold, for it is but a short
distance over the bay lagoon, a fresh
water sea, which comes almost UP to
Manila itself, which is forty-eight miles
away from Santa Cruz. The details
of the dispatch show General Lawton
in essaying the formation of squads of
twelve men EACH which will make a
thorough reconnaissance OF the ground
before making a definite attack upon
the city. 1t is felt here that there will
be only a show of resistance by the
natives, and whether they actually sur
render the town or abandon it to the
southwark, the campaign against the
place will serve as an object lesson Of
the determined policy of our forces in
the island.
Santa Cruz is apparently an opening
wedge for the country beyond From
it leads highways in all directions. to
Manila by going around the shores Of
the bay lagoon, and to the important
point of Batangas and the well ad-
vanced Province of Tayabaz, whose
capital city is located ninety-two miles
from Manila General Lawton, how
ever, may not contemplate any ma
terial advance beyond Santa Cruz at
this time, as the region to the south is
very broken country, covered with
mountains and the rainy season is COM
ing on, so that his purpose may be
merely to gain an advantage of our DO
sition for the future

DEWEY A SAILOR,
NOT A POLITICIAN

NEW YORK, April Admiral Dewey
has given to the Manila correspondent
of Leslie's Weekly an interview regard
ing the suggestion that the admiral be
made a candidate for the Presidency
next year. The admiral said as to his
politics:
IT am a sailor. A sailor has no poll
tics. The administration is his party,
and Republican or Democratic, it
makes no difference. Then, again,
come from Vermont, and you know
what that means. To be anything but
a Republican in Vermont is to be IL
man without a party. My flag lieuten-
ant comes from Georgia. He tells me
that to be anything but Democrat in
the South is to be a nobody. If | lived
South l would probably be Demo-
crat."
Have you ever voted?" the CORE
asked.
YES, years ago; but my vote was
usually Influenced by personal prefer
ence or local conditions. l am not a
politician, have never held political
office and am totally ignorant of party
intricacies or affiliations"
Admiral Dewey said that neither by
vocation, disposition, education nor
training was he capacitated to fill the
Presidency. He said that he was too
we'll along in life to consider such a
possibility His health would not admit
of it. All his life's work was in differ
ent lines of effort, and that while the
kindness and enthusiasm of his friends
were grateful to him and the generous
tributes of the American people were
dear to him, he could not and would
not be candidate for the Presidency
OF the United States under any condi-
tionS
