Washington, Feb. 14.-The house

luton proposing an amendment to the
constitution of the United States for

United States Declined to Join.

London, Feb. 14.-The statement of
Lord Cranborne, under secretary for
foreign affairs in the house OF com
mons, yesterday that the substance OF
the Anglo-Japanese treaty was sub.
mitted to the United States before
closing. has excited renewed specula
ton as to the attitude of the United
States. The same question has been
much discussed in Vienna, where II
seems to be thought that Great Brit
ain and Japan formally invited the
United States to join the alliance, and
that Washington destined to do SO
on the plea that it desired to keep
a free hand. These speculations are
reflective of the anxiety shown by the
European powers to be on good terms
with the United States.

Former Governor of Matanzas Says

Chicago, Feb. 14-''Since our occu-

thing to repair the ravages OF war
We have re-established no families in

We have not taken single step to

H. Wilson, late governor of MatanZas,
and recently appointed as delegate to
King Edwards coronation to repre-
sent the United States army, charged
negligence of Cuba in a speech deliv-

"We pledged ourselves at the begin

Patrick Trial Resumed.

New York, Feb. 1.-THE trial OF
Albert T. Patrick, charged with the
death OF William NJ. Rice, was re-
sumed yesterday after a lapse of six
days, owing to the Illness of juror.
The most interesting part of the trial
was the move OF the state in placing
in the witness box John r. Potts,
lawyer and banker and at one time,
at least, a friend OF the accused. Mr..
Potts said among other things that
Patrick few days before his arrest,
but after Mr. Rices death, had re-
tanned him as counsel and that the
tie had not been severed. The defense
confined itself to asking Potts if Pat
rick had told him he was to receive
the estate as trustee. and the answer
was that he had.

Teddy JR. OUT Of danger

Period Of His Illness.
CASE TAKES NORMAL COURSE.
Chief Executive Returns to Washing
ton, Confident His Son Is Certain
to RecovezPhysician Confirm the
Good News-Patient Rests Well.

Groton, Mass. Feb. 14.-The most
since Theodore Roosevelt Jr. became
ill, closed with the departure of Presi-
dent Roosevelt for Washington late
last evening. Before that the presi-
dent, in the homely phrase, Tied has
improved with such rapid jumps that
am sure he is out OF the woods, had
told to the world of the load lifted
from his mind. The day was full of
happiness for the president and Mrs,
Roosevelt and for all at the infirmary
or near the school grounds. The first
report from the bedside of young
Roosevelt showed that he had passed
good night. After the morning ex-
animation by the doctors it was an
nounced that the boys condition was
progressing favorably. The report
said that the lungs were clearing well.
although the patient was still in the
second stage of pleuro-pneumonia.
Later in the day DR.. Warren stated
that the patients temperature, respi-
ration and pulse were normal, a de-
cided contrast to his condition during
the past few days. The boy rested
well all day, although his pulse was
accelerated for a short period in the
afternoon, because of the departure
of his father. After visiting his son
the president spent most of his time
at the Gardner mansion transacting
official business.
Before lunch he called on the other
patients, the Gammell and Potter
boys, and cheered them up with his
kindly greetings. Then he proceeded
to the Powell cottage and held a brief
interview with the newspaper men
who had made that place their head
quarters. The president feelingiy
thanked them for a gift of flowers to
Mrs Roosevelt and for their courtesy
to him and his family during the try
ing days that have so happily ended.
The remainder Of his stay was with
Mrs. Roosevelt and his son. At Ais
p. m. the president, accompanied by
Mr.. Cortelyou. Mr.. Barnes. the execu-
tive clerk; Mr.. Peabody of the school
and two secret service officers, left In
a carriage for the station. A special
train was in readiness there to take
the party to Worcester. Many per
sons had gathered at the station and
in response to their cheers the presi-
dent dof.ed his hat. He also bade
farewell to the newspaper men
grouped at the platform. At 4:30 the
train left.
Mrs Roosevelt kept in doors nearly
all day. She has borne UP well under
the strain. She will be relieved some
what during the next few days by
Miss Alice Roosevelt, who, the presi-
dent had said, would leave Washing
ton today for Groton. He also said
that Mrs. Roosevelt hoped to remove
Theodore, Jr., to the white house
within ten days, adding that the boy
would return to Groton to complete
his course as soon as his health would
permit
Last evening Professor Jackson of
the faculty called at the Powell cot
tage and assured the newspaper men
that the patient was holding his
own, confirming earlier reports by
5 saying that his pulse, respiration
and temperature were normal.
