Long Island City to catch the first train that
would take him TO his home at oyster Bay
where he has recently been enjoying rest He
got TO the station some time before the train
started for Oyster Bay. While he was waiting
there he was asked about his conference with
the President and about other matters Of pub
lie interest. Governor Roosevelt said he had
nothing to say concerning his meeting with the
President further than what ne had given out
In Washington, and that there no develop
ments in the matter OF the canal investigation
He finally boarded train for oyster Bay at
6:20 p. m.
There were many rumors atoat as TO why

and declined to discuss any OF the reports.
Speaking to a representative Of The Associated

over with him and with the officers of the War
Department certain questions affecting the new
volunteer army for the Philippines especially as
regards the personnel of the officers He said
the President had told him that he wished only
recommendations based upon the efficiency or
the men recommended, and that he would pay
heed to no others. He praised the Presidents
attitude in the matter as he said he was and
would be subjected to great political pressure In
regard to the appointment OF the officers. The
President was entitled added Governor RooSe-
velt to the support of all men who feel that poll
tics have place in the Army.
Continuing, Governor Roosevelt said his own
recommendations would be limited to the men
he had under him during the war, or whom he
saw in action. and TO the members OF the New
York volunteer regiments. Of whose merits he
had as Governor, not only merely an oricial
knowledge but also the knowledge gained from
personal inquiry among their superiors He
further said that any American worthy OF the
name must stand behind the President In his
resolute purpose to bring the insurrection in
the Philippines TO an end.
