President Roosevelt. and Secreta-
ries Shaw, Root and Roosevelt have
all gone west with the intention Of
inspiring republican hope in that

Before leaving Washington, Sec.
rotary Shaw again came to the re-
lief Of Wall Street and the New York
bankers, and added $40, OOO, 900 tc
the deposits in that city. This &C

of the Office of Adiutant General O
! the Army, the news has just reach
ed the newspaper correspondent:
that the application. of General Mile:
to visit the Philippines, on which

Philippines where he would be on
OF the way at that time. With tina
