to predict that they will be the location
of hundreds of fertile farms, within
ten years, and win by degrees develop
into one OF the most productive tracts
of land in the world. The barrier to
the utilization of the Everglades has
been, of course, the water which covers
the greater part OF them to a depth of
from n to six feet. But II has been
found entirely practicable to drain off
the water. Work to this end has al
ready been begun, and Is being pushed
rapidly. When it Is completed a tract
OF land $50 miles long INK so wide will
have been opened to cultivation. The
size of this region is not as important

ton, undertook an expedition through
the region. Despite its proximity TO

the first time thoroughly explored by

eEvERlDeE SECONDS ROOSEVELT.
Indiana's Junior Senator Makes an
EIouuent Address.

Chairman Cannon introduced Senator
Beveridge of Indina, who began his adj
dress amid loud applause, s%econding
the nomination Of Roosevelt. He said.
one difference between the opposition
and ourselves is this. They select their
candidate for the people. and the people
select our candidate for us.
This was true four years ago when we
accepted the peoples judgment and named
William Mckinley. whose perfect mingling
Of mind and heart. OF wisdom and Of ten
derness. won the trust and love of the ma
ton then and makes almost holy his mem-
ory now. HIS power was In the peoples
favor. his shrine Is in the peoples hearts.
1T is. true today when we again accept
the peoples judgment and name Theodore
Roosevelt. whose sympathies are as wide
as the ~republic, whose courage, honesty
and vision met all emergencies, and the
sum OF whose qualities make him the type
of twentieth century Americanism. And
the twentieth century American is nothing
more than the man of .6 racing a new day
with the old faith.
Roosevelt and Mckinley.
Theodore Roosevelt, like William Nc
Kinley. Is the nominee of tina American
fireside. So were Washington and Jeffer-
son In the early time; so was Andrew
jackson when he said THE union: 1t must
be preserved; so was Abraham Lincoln

bind up the nations wounds, and Grant

Of these great presidents was, at the PEI

lie Judgment. And so today, the repub-
lican party. whose strength Is In its
obedience to the will of the American peo-
pie. merely executes again the decree
which comes to II from the American
home in naming Theodore Roosevelt as
our candidate.
The peoples thought is his thought;
American ideals. his ideals. This Is his
only shart of statesmanship-and no 9TH

lean president can have Is the collective
intelligence and massed morality of the
American people. And this ancient rule

EXPECTED At SANTIAGO
Seven Hundred Dominican Troops
Marching on the Stronghold
of Gen. Jiminez.
PLAN FOR PROTECTORATE

NEW YORK, Jan. 2O.-Seven hundred
government soldiers are on the march to
Santiago the rebel stronghold, says a Her
aid dispatch from Puerta Plata, Santo Do
mngo. 1t is believed this battle will be the
most important of the Jiminez revolution.
The rebels are firmly intrenched in their
camp and it is presumed they will make
a desperate resistance.
Details of the recapture of Puerto Plata
a few days ago by the government forces
show. according to the Herald's corre-
spondent, that the commander of an Amer
lean war vessel in the harbor practically
managed the battle and that a fighting
zone. demarked by the commanders OF the
United States and British warships, was ac-
cepted by the contending forces. President
Morales's troops promptly respected the
order TO cease firing. although Gen. Jimi-
nez's forces. when routed, ran through the
streets and continued to fire in all direc-
tions.
An American force composed of eight men
with the stars and stripes went to the
firing line and demanded a suspension Of
hostilities. The commander Of the United
States warship then landed a force OF 100
men and arranged for the surrender Of
the fort.

REPLIES TO AN EDITOR
Father Martins Counsel Declares
He Did Not Hire Spadoni to
Fight Americanism.
CASE TO BE DISMISSED

ROME, Jan. 2O.-Counsel for Father Mar
tin, general secretary OF the Society OF

counter statement in the Spadoni case.
Editor Spadoni caused a summons 10 be is
sued against Father Martin last month for
the purpose of 'obtaining compensation
with costs, alleged to be due the editor
for work done by agreement with Father
Martin in a propaganda against the Ameri-
canization OF the Catholic Church in the
United States.
The statement OF Father Martin declares
the contentious Of Spadoni 10 be lbelous
and untrue, and says the truth of the mat
ter is that in the end OF November, 1898.
Father Martin received Signor Spadoni.
who suggested the idea of fighting the
Americanization Of the church. The gen.
eral of the society praised this idea in
general, but added that he could not par
ticipate in the work and advised SignOr
Spadoni TO wait for the Popes opinion in
the matter This part OF the counter state
ment is believed to allude to the encyclical
on the subject Of Americanism which was
issued shortly afterward.
Father Martin goes on 10 say he did not
see SigTtOr Spadoni again, although the
latter asked for another interview by let
ter, which request was declined by letter.
These letters are in the possession Of the
court. Father Martin concludes by asking
that SignOr SpadOni be condemned 10 pay
costs. The case probably will be discussed

CHICAGO is DEMANDING
PLAYHOUSES Be OPENED
Aldermen May Be Compelled to
Revise the Drastic Closure
Ordinance.
SITE FOR A MEMORIAL

CHICAGO, Jan. 2O.-It is probable that
the City Council next Monday night viii
again consider and revise the new theater
ordinance. A meeting between the theater
managers and a special committee of alder
men will be held later in the week, at
which the managers Will announce what
is physically possible for them to accom-
plish in making their theaters safe, and
at the same time reopen for the rest of
the theatrical season. There is a general
feeling among the aldermen that the es-
sential demands for theaters before they
are allowed TO open their doors is somewhat
too stringent and notifications may be
made at the regular Council meeting next
Monday. At the same time there are many
aldermen who are strongly Of opinion that
no theater should reopen for business until
it has been made absolutely safe. 1t is
likely that there will be a strong fight in
the Council before any action looking to
further relief of theaters is made.
Edwin H. Price, manager Of Mr.. Blue

showed up the work of Chicago building
inspectors in bad light compared with in
