Santa Cruz, Cal, May u.-President Roosevelts train made short stop at Watsonville en route to Santa Cruz.

Untif last week had never been in Cali fornia and I go back an even better American than came and l think 1 came out a fairly good one.
 Things that are truisms, that you ex- pcct as simply part of the natural order of events need to be impressed upon our people as a whole. We need to under stand that commanding position already occupied and the infinitely more com manding position that will be occupied in the future by our nation on the Pacific. this the greatest of all the oceans. Is one which. during the century opening must pass under American influence and as in evitably happens when great effort comes, 1t means that a great burden of responsibility accompanies the effort.
 "A nation cannot be great without pay ing the price of the greatness and only a craven nation will object to paying that price. I believe in you, my countrymen; I believe your people and therefore I be- lieve that they will dare to be great. Therefore I believe they will hail the chance this century brings as one which 1t should rejoice. a mighty and masterful people to have. And we can face the flu ture with the assurance and confidence of success if only we face 1t in the spirit in which our fathers faced the problems of the past"

BIG FIRE IN OTTAWA.
Ten or Fifteen Million of Feet of
 Lumber Burned.

Ottawa, Ont. May u.-About 25O houses destroyed. probably 1000 people homeless and a financial loss of fully $50O.0O0 is the result of a conhagration which yes terday destroyed the area between Ot- tawa and Perry foundry track on the east. Albert on the north and the tracks of Canadian Pacific Prescott line and Third Avenue on the west. The money loss is about one-half covered by insur- ance.
 While it was generally believed last night that an incendlary had started the fire. doubts were thrown upon this the- ory today. It was said today that the blaze was seen in the grass beforA 1t reached the lumber. There was from 10. 900 900 to 100000 feet of lumber burn ed The buildings destroyed were dwell- ing houses and stores. No lives are known to have been lost While the build ings were all pretty we'll insured. some tenants had nothing on their furniture. A great many of these. however sue ceeded in saving their effects.
 Through an accident to the water pipes 1t was nearly an hour after the fire was discovered until water was thrown upon the flames, and in that time they made great headway. Assistance arrived from Montreal. but It was not required. The military was called out to aid the civil power in combating the fire.

WARNING TO
 THE SULTAN Powers Position as to
 Bulgaria. MUST BE NO HARSHNESS Sal0nica 0utrageS Do Not De- serve Stern Measures. Russia, France and Austria Think the Question Not One Between . Suzerain and a vassal.
 Duty of the Porte.
MUST BE NO HARSHNESS

Paris, May u.-There was a simulta- neous publication ,his morning in Paris, Vienna and St. Petersburg of the official view of the Bulgarian situation. It ap- peared in The Figaro here. The Neue Freie Presse, of Vienna, and in the offi- cial organ at St. Petersburg, and carries out the idea previously cabled to The Associated Press, that the powers are sat- isfied with the correctness of Bulgaria course and will not tolerate the adoption by the Sultan of Turkey of stern meas ures against Bulgaria on account of the Salonica outrages. It is pointed out that the question Is not one between a suzer- ain and vassal, but one between Turkey and the powers signatory of the Berlin convention. The official communication sums up as follows:
 TWO important points mark the pres ent status of the imbroglio. first the Bull garian Government .s not responsible for the Macedonian violence; second. neither St. Petersburg. Vienna nor Paris have the intention to permit Bulgaria to be held responsible"
 The communication closes with the statement that the Porte's first duty Is to carry out the general plan for the Balkan reforms, repress the Albanian asitators and punish the murderer of the Russian Consul. adding:
 If Turkey persists in diverting atten- ton by menacing Bulgaria the ambassa- dors of the powers may shortly remind the Porte of what the powers expect.
