ROOSEVELT HAD A HAND IN II
HE URGED THE RETIREMENT OF
SECRETARY ALGER.
Also Suggested That Otis and Brooke
Be Both Relieved-Had Weight
With President

Chicago. July 2S.-A Washington
special to the Tribune says: 1t has de
veloped that Governor Roosevelt wrote
letter to cabinet officer a short time
ago, urging the retirement of General
Alger, that General Otis be relieved of
his command in the Philippines. and
that General Brooke should he succeed
ed as military governor of Cuba by
General Leonard Wood. The governor
was unusually severe in his criticisms
of the war department. and insisted
that the administration could not afford
to be held responsible for General Alger
nor to continue the dilly-dally plan Of
operations in the Philippines.
The letter was shown TO the president
by the cabinet officer in question. 1t is
believed that it had a great deal to do
with the presidents decision TO request
General Alger to retire. Soon after the
contents of the letter were made known
to the president, Governor Roosevelt
was called to Washington for consulta-
ton with the president

CHAMBERS IN SAN FRANCISCO.
Chief Justice Says He Cannot An
swer For Future of Samoa.

Swer For Future OF Samoa.
San Francisco. July 2S.-Chief Justice
w. l.. Chambers of Samoa arrived here
today on the steamer Moana. &C
companied by his family. He is on
a four months leave of absence. but
says that his business in the United
States is of such a nature that he will
probably not return to Apia. In an
interview the chief justice said:
"All is now quiet in Samoa, but can
not answer for the future. Both
Mataafa and Malietoa affect to be
satisfied with the present arrangement,
which abolshes the office of king and
vests the responsibility of government
in the consuls of the three powers. I
feel sure Malietoa is sincere in this.
Though fairly elected, and after cleo
ton accepting the kingship. he never
had ambitions in that direction As soon
as the commission arrived he proposed
to resign, a spirit which later proved
to be in accord with the plans of the
commissioners and l have every reason
to believe he will live up to his bar
gain.
"Mataafa is ambitious. For many
years he has thirsted for power and will
not be so easily satisfied. AT the same
time he is a man Of exceptional abili-
". is shrewd and have never thought
the interests of the natives would
especially suffer in his hands.

oy the commission and it has published
the fact in a proclamation.
With respect to the future l can say
little. There is the problem. In its
work the commission has endeavOred
to eliminate from the original ar
rangement all features that have APP
peared faulty or weak.
Those features have been substitute
ed by others. which experience has
demonstrated to be more desirable and
workable. 1t is difficult to frame any
government under tripartite control
that Will be permanent. but this is not
due so much to the faultiness of thu
theory as to local diSSensions and tho
want of harmony among the treaty
powers. The success of the commits
sions demonstrated conclusively that
the natives can be controlled, peace
maintained and laws properly enforced
when the foreign governments work in
accord Perfect harmony exists be-
tween the commission and the chief
justice.

MAKE A LAST APPEAL.
More Funds Wanted By the Dewey
Home Fund Committee.

Washington, July 29.-The secretary of
the Dewey Home fund requests the pub
LEGATION of the following statement:
There can no longer be any doubt as
to whether a home will be purchased by
popular subscription for Admiral George
Dewey. At meeting of the National
Dewey Home Fund committee today it
was found that the aggregate amount of
cash actually received by Treasurer Rob-
erts Is $500 from 4 total Of over q. 900
subscribers. One hundred and three sub
scribers gave Sl0.G0. The statement was
made that 5000 promised some time since
by the New York Journal would be forth
coming soon. bringing the grand aggre-
gate up 10 S2l.709.
The committee agreed 10 close the sub
scriptions before the arrival of Admiral
Dewey in New York. in September, and
the admiral as 10 location. etc, to pur-
chase the home with whatever funds they
may al that time have on hand.
I'VE will purchase the home if not an
other dollar Is received. so that the ques-
ton row is whether the patriotic and
generous people of the country will per-
nit the purchase of a home at the ma
TONS capital for the hero of Manila. with
$1,000 or $4,000. say the committee in
making their last appeal.
Therefore those who desire to contrib
ute are urged by the committee 20 con-
tribute at once. All contributions should

SUPPLIES FOR AGUINALDo.
German and Japanese Merchants
Tempted By High Prices offered.

New York, July 2S.-A special to the
Herald from Washington says; Ac-
cording to verbal reports to the navy
from officers returning from the Phil
ippines, AgUinaldo continues 20 get war
supplies through German merchants in
Hongkong and japanese merchants in
Yokohama, although our consuls have
been directed TO keep a sharp lookout
for fi!ibustering. In more than one in
stance British officers have aided the
United States in preventing the ship
ment Of arms from HOngkong, but Off
GERS just returned say there is no doubt
the temptation offered by Aguinaldo's
high prices has induced merchants to
violate the neutrality laws and try to
force the imperfect blockade.
Twelve Spanish gunbOats recently
put on blockade duty have done re-
markably good service in cutting off
supplies between different islands. Last
mail reports said they had captured
sixteen different cargoes of supplies,
but net any valuable munitions of war.

IN THE HOUSE OF LORDS.
Danger In Departure From Govern
ment's Recognized Policy.

London, July 2S..-In the house of
lords today the Earl of Camperdown
called attention ia the Transvaal stu
alton. The Earl of Dunraven and
others followed, all declaring that any
departure from the recognized policy
of the government would be an act of
inestimable danger to the position of
Great Britain, not only in South At
RIGA. but it might shake the imperial
existence of Great Britain itself. The
Earl of Selbourne, under secretary for
the colonies. made statement similar
in purport to that made in the house
of commons by Mr.. Chamberlain.
Lord Salisbury reminded the house
that he absolutely dissented from the
policy of 1881. which was tainted with
the grave fault of optimism. Neverthe
less, President Kruger assented in the
protocol of 1851 convention to friendly
co-operation of the races. while he has
since taken an absolutely opposite line.
his own effort being TO separate the
English and South African govern
ments and to reduce the English to
the status of a subjugated race.
The premier declared that he was
not surprised that panic overlook Pres
ident Kruger at the interruption of the
gold digging in 1886, but he blamed
him for not consulting the British gov
eminent as to how to deal with the
phenomenon. He agreed that If the
latest concessions were genuinely car
ried out, the government might look
forward to a peaceful solution of the
crisis. Her majesty's government, he
said, had put their hands to the pillow
and certainly did not want to with
draw them.
Regarding the dispatches of Sir
George Hamilton. secretary Of state of
India to Lord CurZon of Kedleston, the
Indian viceroy. the premier said the
report of the committee on the Indian
currency says the government has de-
cided to maintain the closing of the
mints and directs him to take the
necessary steps to make a sovereign
legal tender at the rate of 10 rupees TO
the sovereign.
