At ARLINGTON
President Roosevelt Delivers Ad.
dress at Cemetery of Nations
Honored Dead.

Washington, May 3l.-Memorial day
was observed here perhaps more gener-
ally than ever before. The announce
ment that President Roosevelt would
deliver the Grafton at Arlington brought
to that historic city of the dead vast
concourse of people.
The local arrangements were in charge
of the department of the Potomac and
included parade of all G. A. r. and
other patriotic organizations, the Gecora-
ton of monuments and graves and adj
dresses by men prominent in the affairs
of the government.
At darlington national salute was fired
at IL o'clock by the Fourth battery of
United States Field artillery.
Music was rendered by the Marine
band and by the memorial choir. Upon
arriving at Arlington the procession
marched to the tombs of the unknown.
The procession broke up and the decOra-
ton of graves began. A touching feature
was the strewing of flowers over graves
of the Confederate dead buried in the
cemetery.
Meantime qast crowd had assembled
at the amphitheater, where the services
were conducted. The familiar strains Of
Nearer My God to Thee" by the Marine
band marked the beginning Of the serv.
ices. Mr.. E. B. Hay read Lincoln g Get
tysburg address. President Roosevelt
followed, and as he arose he was greeted
with the plaudits of the immense audi
ence which stretched far outside of the
limits of the amphitheater. During hia
address he was frequently interrupted by
bursts of applause.
The president dwelt upon the difficult
task of the forces now in the field in the
Philippines, and declared that when con-
sidered fit for self-government, the Fill
,pino would be granted independence.
He stated, also, that the Pacific coast
was of as much Importance to the ma
tional welfare as the Atlantic seaboard,
and that statesmen should not neglect to
further its interests.

had been destroyed. Reports OF loss and
and damage on the coffee plantations are
beginning to come in, and they practi-
cally double the total reported from the
towns. The estimated figures run into
the millions.
Topachula is city of about 0,00O, and
the damage to the town is estimated at
about 100000. San Marcos, town
nearer Quezaltenango, was also destroyed
with great loss of life. There were lao
prisoners in the jail and every man was
killed. crushed and buried under the fall
ing walls. In Tuxlachico, town of 1000
