The Senator Asks the Pr6Si-
dent to Pardon RdthbOn6
Now In a Cuban jail.
PRESIDENT WONT
In Consequence There Is a Threat
OF a Senatorial Investigation to
Throw Mud at Gen. Wood.

WASHINGTON, April 2.-President
Roosevelt and Senator Hanna have
had their first serious clasn since the
death of McMKinley. 1t is over the
case OF Major Rathbone, who was re-
Gently convicted OF malfaesance in Of
fice In Cuba and sentenced to ten
years Imprisonment and a heavy fine.
Senator Hanna mas asked President
Roosevelt to pardon Rathbone, and the
President has declined to do so. This
was the subject of long interview
between the President and Senator at
the White House. They discussed the
matter in all Its bearings, but were
unable to reach an agreement.
senator Hanna believes Rathbone
to be innocent of any crime deserv-
Ing the severe sentence inflicted upon
him by the Cuban courts He be-
liey.es and frankly told the President
that General Wood has pursued Ratl1-
bone with the Intention Of running
him, He asks the President to inyes-
tigate the case from first to last, and
If the finds that Rathbone has been
unjustly dealt with to grant him a
pardon.
President Roosevelt cannot see his
way clear to meet Hanna's request
He respects the Senator'S determina-
tion to stand by his friend, who, in
his opinion, has been unjustly dealt
with but the President has his own
duty to perform. While he was here
a few days ago General Wood assured
the President that there was not the
slightest doubt of Rathbones guilt.
He may not have been as guilty as
Neely and Reeves, but he was still
guA.y, and it was not a case in which
executive clemency could be exer-
cised. For the present Presiden
Roosevelt is forced TO stand by the
record.
One of the possible results of this
difference of opinion between the
President and Senator Hanna is SEN
atoriql investigation of Governor
Woou s. regime In Cuba. Many
senator's have complained of the arbi-
trary manner in which Governor
Wood has carried on his work at Ha-
vana One charge made against him
Is that he dismissed judges who would |

Roosevelt Determined TO Have
a New Secretary OF the In
terror in Cabinet
WONT TAk6 Il HINT
Hitchcock Is Unpopular With West
6rn Senator's But Tie Won't Go
Until He Is Fired.

Washington, April I'm spite Of
persistent denials. the oficial days OF
Z. A. Hitchcock as secretary of the
| interior in President Roosevelt's cab
| met are numbered. Delicate hints
have been repeatedly dropped to per-
sonal friends Of Secretary Hitchcock
that the latter's resignation would
not be regarded as serious blow to
the administration, but thus far he
appears to have been too busily en-
crossed in other matters to observe
the ''typewritlng on the wall' which
is so apparent to those who have
watched the somewhat strained reIa-
tionship between the administration
and the secretary of the interior.
A western senator, who is said to
be urging. an early cnange In the in
terror department. In referring to this
subject. recently remarked:
1T begins to look as though Hitch
cock Is waiting for a brick house to
tumble on him before he realizes that
his absence from the cabinet table
can be easily endureu."
While there has never been a close
personal friendship between the Pres
ident and Hitchcock, the president
has been distncilned to act upon the
suggestions repeatedly made by lead
ing Republicans OF the west, urging
the retirement of the present secre-
taly of the interior. The fight upon
Hitchcock commenced before Presi-
dent Mckinley died. and it Is doubt
ful IL Hitchcock would have remain
ed long in the cabinet had Mckinley
lived
While there are no specific charges
against Hitchcock which would sustify
his summary removal. IL is generally
conceded that he is not q popular
Official II is known that the Presi-
dent is looking the field over for his
successor. and a number Of names
have been quietly discussed by the
presiednt and those enjoying his con-
fidence
There are many. circumstances
which might be cited to strengthen
e impression that am early charge
is iue' table. One of the strongest
indications that the president Is not
satis@ed with the present condition Of
affairs at the interior department is
to be found in the fact that on sew
eral occasions recently ne has called
up cases passed upon by Secretary
Hitchcock and reversed his rulings.
Instead of comforting with the secre-
'ary on questions relating to the in
terror department, the president has
on more than one occasion ignored
him and consulted subordinates with
out his knowledge.
