WAS NEVER PRIVATE
SECRETARY TO BLAINE
State Department Officials Have No
knowledge on Harry N. Roach,
the Kewanna Hermit.

According to a story printed in a
New York paper yesterday Harry n.
Roach, formerly of this city. who is al
legged to have been private secretary to
Hon. James G. Blaine when he was
Secretary of State in the Cabinet of
President Harrison, is now a hermit In
the woods near Kewanna, Ind.
Investigation at the State Department
developed the fact that Roach was never
private secretary to Mr.. Blaine. AS
matter of fact he was not known to any
of the clerks at the State Department
who had been there since the civil war.
The story as printed said that a num-
Der OF gentlemen from indianapolis had
gone on fishing expedition in the
northern part of the State.
They reported that while at Bass Lake.
near Kewanna, they were quartered for
two days in a small log clubhouse in
charge of a fisherman who impressed
them by the purity of his language and
other evidences that he had seen bet
ter days. His present condition is for
lorp, as he subsists by taking care of
boats, furnishing bait. and trapping.
After continued questioning the fisher
man acknowledged that his name was
Harry X Roach and that much of his
life had been spent in Washington,
where he served eight years as private
secretary to James G. Blaine.
He was with Blaine at the time he re-
signed from the Cabinet under Harri-
son. Roach admitted that his own ha-
bits led to his separation from Blaine,
after which he went to the Rocky Noun
,ains, where he remained several years.
finally drifting eastward, and eventual
ly finding employment in caring for
boats at fishing resorts. Five years ago
he settled on the banks of Bass Lake,
where he proposes to remain until
death
He said that he had long since lost
track OF his wife and son, who remained
in Washil eton. and that none of his
relatives. one of whom, a brother, is
distinguished Southerner and man OF
great wealth. knew whether he was iiv-
ing oil dead
He never intended to communicate
with them. and when he felt that he
could no longer make his own living he
proposed to seek the end right where he
was.
Roach enjoined upon the Indianapoli-
tans that they must not betray his hid
ing place, saying that all he wanted
was forgetfulness on the part OF those
who knew him when he was man
among men and prominent in public al
fairs.
They describe him as about fifty-hve
years old, with black hair tinged with
gray. gray mustache. and we'll proper
| toned physically. He expressed him
self as having no desire to commun- 2a' e
with former friends, saying 1t was bet
ter that he should remain unknown.

RICHMOND DENTIST
SOUGHT FOR BY POLICE
Disappearance From His Home Causes
Anxiety-Thought to Have Come
to Washington.

Captain Boardman, chief of detectives.
has received request from the chief
OF police in Richmond, Va, to keep a
lookout for Fred \. Wood, a young
dentist of that city. who disappeared
from his home about two weeks ago. 1t
was thought that Wood might have come
TO this city TO secure a position with
some dentist here. He was seen in Cid
Point Comfort, Va, the day after he left
Richmond. but nothing has been seen or
heard of him since that time.
The missing man, according to the
letter, is about twenty-four years of
age. feet inches tall and weighs
about 1870 pounds. He is a graduate of
a prominent dental college in the Vir-
ginia capital and was to have gone into
business with his brother. He is also
very deaf.

appreciation when he saw that inscr;p-
tion.
From Auburn the party drove over The
river into Lewiston. where crowd Of
900 was gathered in the public square.

In replying, the President said:
"Mr. Mayor, II ever had any reason
to believe that the American people
should fail so low IN patriotism that
they should forget what they owe the

His Duties in Philippines
Confined to Those
of Inspector.
ORDER OF WAR DEPARTMENT
Cites Him to Sail About September IS
Rubber Stamp Bearing His Name
to Continue in Use in the Directing
of Campaign.

In accordance with instructions re-
celved from the President yesterday,
Acting Secretary of War Sanger notified
General Miles that his application for
permission to make a tour of inspection
in the Philippine Islands had been IA
vOrably acted upon by the President.
General Miles preferred n request OF
this character some time ago and ex-
pressed his desire to start on the tour
at as early date as convenient. The
order fixes September l. as about the
time for him to sail. but fxes no date
for the termination OF his tour. The or
der reads as follows:
"Sir: l have the honor to state that
your application for authority to in
spect that portion Of the army serving
in the Philippines is approved by the
President. You will sail about the 18th
of September ard inspect the condition
of the army and will give particular at
tention to its instructions. discipline,
and to supplies CT all kinds.
Very respectfully.
WILLIAM CARY SANGER.
ITO Lieut.. Gen. Nelson A. Miles, Com
manding the Army"
As an Inspector General.
During his presence in the Philippines
General Miles will, of course, haze
nothing to do with the direction OF no
camps, his functions being restricted TO
those of an inspector general He can, II
he sees fit, make report criticising as
severely as he likes the discipline and
equipment OF the army, and II he shouid
choose to give himself considerable lati-
tude in writing the report OF his obser-
yations he might even criticfse the con-
duct of the campaign from a purely
military standpoint.
His application to the President IN the
present case. however. is upon radical
Iy different basis from that which ne
made some months ago when he askei
for authority to take charge OF Ire
Philippine campaign
The whole text OF his present orde-S
was not given out by the War Depart
ment yesterday, but il is supposei that
the President in granting the request OF
General Miles took occasion 10 deDpe
very fully what will be the duties OF
the commanding general by definitely
naming certain restrictions wticn VIII
he expected to govern his actions in the
Philippines.
Relations With War Department
His relations with the military estao-
lishment during his absence from Wash
ington will be in no wise changed from
those that have existed since his return
from his field operations in Porto Rico

peculiarly sensitive to two things; stain
on the national honor at home and q
disgrace to the nations arms abroad.
Our honor at nome, our honor In do
mestic and international affairs Is at
all times in our own keeping and de-
pends simply upon the national possess
sion of an awakened public conscience.
But the only way to make safe our honor
as affected not by our own deeds, but
by the deeds OF others, is by readiness
in advance.
I'm three great crises In our history
during the nineteenth century. the war
of 1872, In the civil war and again in
the Spanish war, the navy rendered to
the nation services of literally meal
culable worth. In the civil war we had
to meet antagonists even more unpre-
pared than we were. On both the other
occasions we encountered foreigners,
and the fighting was done entirely by
ships built long in advance and by OFF,
GERS and crews who had been trained
during years of sea service for the su-
preme day when their qualities were
put to the final test.
Men Trained for Duty.
THE ships which won at Manila and
Santiago, under the administration of
President Mckinley, had been built years
before under Presidents Arthur and
Cleveland and Harrison. The officers In
these ships had been trained from their
earliest youth to their profession, and
the enlisted men, in addition to their
natural aptitude, their intelligence and
their courage, had been drilled as
marksmen with the great guns and as
mGchinists in the engine rooms and
perfected in all details of their work
during years of cruising on the high
seas and Of incessant target practice"
"A navy's efficiency in a war depends
mainly upon its preparedness at the out
set of that war. We are not TO be ex-
cused as a nation II there is not such
preparedness OF our navy. This is cape
cially so In view OF what W. have done
during the last four years.
mo nation has a right TO undertake a
big task unless it is prepared to do It
In masterful and effective style. It
would be an intolerable humiliation for
us to embark on such a course of action
as followed from our declaration Of war
with Spain and not make good our words
by deeds: not be ready to prove our
truth by our endeayor whenever the need
calls.
Must Keep on Building.
THE good work of building up the
navy must go on without ceasing. The
modern warship cannot with advantage
be allowed to rust in disuse. II must be
used up in active service. even In time
OF peace. This means that there must
be a constant replacement OF the ineftec
tive by the effective. The work OF build
ing up and keeping up our navy is there
fore one which needs our constant and
unilagging vigilance. Our navy is now
efficient. but we must be content with
no ordinary degree of efficiency. Every
effort must be made to bring 1t ever
nearer 10 perfection. In making such
effort the prime factor Is to have at the
head of the navy such an official as
your fellow -townsman, Mr. Moody. and
the next is to bring home to our people
as a whole the need of thorough and
ample preparation in advance; this prep
aration to take the form not only of
continually building ships, but of keep
