HER ILLNESS SERIOUS.
Facts in Regard to Mrs. RoosevsIt's
Recent IInexa

Washington, June 21.-Mrs Rooseyelt's
recent illness was much more serious than
was reported at the time. Although of
unusually strong physique. she sue
cumbed suddenly on the eve of the re-
ception to the French delegation at the
Rochambeau exercises.
Mrs Roosevelt was greatly debilitated
by the trip to Charleston. 1t occurred at
at time when she was peculiarly suscepti-
bic to nervous influences and her mind
was constantly racked for her husbands
safety. She made 1t point to appear
with him on all occasions In public; in.
deed he was beyond her sight for hardly
minute during the whole trip.
The long receptions at which she was
forced to stand and receive the thou,
sands who presented themselves broke
down Mrs. Roosevelt's strength Her
guardianship of the president was pur-
chased at great cost. While superintend-
ing the preparations for the Rochambeau
reception she was suddenly taken Ill. AS
a result the stork has flown far away
from the White house and all of Mrs
Roosevelt's plans for the summer have
been changed.
Just before she left Washington for
the leisurely trip to Oyster Bay on the
Dolphin, Mrs. Roosevelt announced her
intention to return to Washington July 5
and resume the Inequalities which have
been so freely dispensed from the White
house during the present administration.
She will probably remain in Washington
until after the adjournment of congress-

PIRACY in CUBAN WATERS
smusslers Also Are Causing the New
Republic Lots OF Trouble,

Havana, June 21.-The non-arrival
of the United States consul general to
Havana and the consuls appointed to
Matanzas, Cienfuegos and Santiago has
resulted in Gripping commerce with
the United States. Since the evacua-
ton of the island by the United States
forces piracy and smuggling along the
Cuban coast have increased. The coll
lectors of several ports are constantly
requesting the assistance of revenue
cutters. The chief offenders are smacks
from Jamaica, Nassau and Barbados.
There are only two cutters available
to guard 1000 miles of coast line. Four
others, owned by the government, are
at present out Of commission.
Six smacks which We're violating the
turtle fishery laws. have been cap
tured. Many other were under sur
veillance and probably will be cap
tured upon the arrival of assistance.
Several instances are reported of actual
piracy. Many Cuban smacks have been
overhauled and robbed of catches Of
fish, provisions and water by foreign
ers who evidently are under the inn
preston that the withdrawal of the
Americans left the Cubans an easy
prey. 1t is probable that salutary ex-
amples will be made of the captured.
1t has been suggested by customs Of
ficials that the cutter service be abol-
fshed as means of economizing, but
the conditions have demonstrated the
absolute necessity of continuing the
service IL not increasing it.
Many diplomatic questions already
have arisen and the time of the United
States minister is fully occupied with
them, Notwithstanding the fact that he
is compelled to devote much time to
American indigents on all parts of the
island who are seeking aid or transport
tation to the United States.
