TAFT IS IN ROUTE
 ID PHILIPPINES Miss Alice Roosevelt Will Make
 the Journey WILL TAKE THREE MONTHS Secretary of War Will Make Trip of Inspection and Will Consider
 Many Matters of Ad-
 ministration.
WILL TAKE THREE MONTHS

Washington, June 3O.-William H. Taft, Secretary of War, accompanied by a dis tinguished party, including members of both houses Of Congress. army officers, the daughter of the. President, Miss Alice Roosevelt and others began their journey to the Philippine islands at 5:30 o'clock this afternoon. The party embarked in two special cars on the regular Chicago train over the Baltimore and Ohio rail- road. At the station t. say good bye were the French ambassador and Mime. Jus serand, MT. Takahira, the Japanese min ister, Assistant Secretary of War Oliver, General and Mrs Chaffee, and numerous other friends of the party.
 Although Secretary Taft expects to have a relief from the duties of the past months during his absence, the trip is one of inspection and many matters Of administration will be considered. At Chi cago he will meet and confer with John F. Stephens, who was appointed today to succeed Chief Engineer Wallace of the Panama canal commission. He will also confer with ". A. Darling. with whom negotiations are pending, to take the place of MT. Stephens. who was to have been a memberof the Philippines party and remain in the islands in charge of the construction of railroads. If pres ent negotiations prove satisfactory MT. Darling may accompany the Secretary.
 In San Francisco July 4.
 stay of four days will be made in San Francisco, which is to be reached July f. An important consideration in the Philippines to which .ecretary Taft will give his attention Is the perfection of title to many acres of the Friar lands which is still considered cloudy and by reason of which the purchase price of the lands of the whole Dominican order is being withheld.
 An interesting feature of the trip will be the call of the Secretary on the Elm peror of Japan. The Japanese minister here has assured tue Secretary that his government Is desirous of extending ev- cry courtesy possible The Secretary's re- sponse to this was that he well under stood that the place would be vacated hy the imperial family on account of the summer season, at the time of his visit to Tokio and that his call would simply be the formal "card cal'' of re- spect.
 Three months are to be consumed in the trip including Il stay of one week in Manila and a trip around the islands occupying ten days.

Thinks Secretary Taft's Severe
 Latter UncaIIed For
GAVE TIE MATTER THOUGHT
Had No Fault to Find With Superiors and Tried to Perform Task As signed to the Best of
 His Ability.

New York, June 30.-John F. Wallace, who resigned as member and chief engi- neer on the Panama canal commission. and whom Secretary Taft charged with leaving the canal work at a critical mo- ment, gave a statement to the Associated Press tonight replying to Secretary Taft. After making the statement public, MT. Wallace left the city. He said he was going to take a much needed rest and vacation, and did not expect to return during the summer.
 MT. Wallace would not make public any of his future plans, ana said that the work he is to take up will be announced by the officials of the organization with which he Is to become connected when they deem 1t proper.
 MT. Wallace says:
 'grhe primary causes which led me to tender my resignation as chief engineer of the isthmian canal commission were underlying and fundamental, and I must emphatically resent that charge that my motive in leaving the work was a finan- cial one.
 "A careful consideration of the entire subject had brought me to the decision that I should disconnect myself with the work at the earliest poss-pie date that it could be done without embarrassment to the administration or injury to the work It is unnecessary to state the reasons for this decision except that in fairness l should say that they involve no criticism of any act of the President or the Secre- tarY of War

Take Extremely Dark View.

Berlin June 30.-German newspapers discussing the happenings at Odessa and Libau take an extremely dark view of the situation in Russia. While preceding events were classified as a revolutionary movement their latest incidents, 1t is said constitute real revolution. Colonel Gaedke. military expert of the Tageblatt. and formerly it's correspondent with the Russian army at the front, writing to- day says:
 Ut would be complete misjudgment of the actual conditions of Russia to regard the mutiny on the Kniaz Potemkine as an individual occurrance without great signffcance On the contrary It Is a flash light revealing to the dullest eye the true situation in the interior of that wide empire and the dangerous disinte- grafton of political order"
 Cannot Rely on Army.
 Colonel Gaedl<e. after stating that St Petersburg cannot longer rely implicitly on the army. draws on his personal ex- perience with the army in Manehuria to show the dangerous possibilities in- volved in widespread and profound dis content among the officers and soldiers. He says he never once after the terrible defeats suffered by the Manchurian army witnessed among the officers the slightest trace of spontaneous patriotism. They showed no wounded sense of military honor and no thirst for vengeance. The officers with whom he talked felt neither humiliation or pain, while many showed undisguised satisfaction at the defeats which they said only served the govern ment and the beaurocracy right. They openly discussed their hopes that these defeats would result in the improvement of nolitical conditions at home. Colonel Gaedke says he found among Russians a very general conviction that the army could not be relied upon to permanently onnose the national movement.

Washington. July 1.-seeretary Hay left Washington last Friday for his summer home on Lake Sunape. He had been in Washington since the preceding Monday after his return from the several months which he spent in Europe. During his brief stay in Washington Mir. Hay had attended actively to business before the State Department and had had several interviews with the President on impor- tant pending questions. At the time of his departure he was looking forward to a period of rest and recreation at his summer home and fully expected to re- turn to Washington in the fall fully re- cuperated in health and strength. AL though he appeared considerably better than when he left Washington for Europe just following his severe illness of last spring. yet it was evident to his family and friends that he was far from being a well man.

spurned the Suggestion.

Much to my surprise he indignantly spurned my suggestion and took the po- sition that I was compelled under what he called my contract. to remain in charge of the isthmian canal regardless of circumstances or conditions until the completion of the work, and spoke in such a manrfer as to outrage my feelings to such an extent that further discus son of the reasons for my actions was its next session.
 'I did not seek the position as chief engineer of the isthmian canal commis- sion and considering my salary as gen. eral manager of the Illinois Central Rail- read company and my other sources of earnings. my financial condition was not improved by my acceptance of the position and 1t was with the greatest reluctance that did so.
 While it was my own expectation that I should continue my connection with the work. it did not occur to me that I was not free to withdraw if justice to my self and my family and to my reputation as an engineer required me to do so. IL

 cred more opportunely than now, and with less damage to the work. A com plete organization of departments and bureaus has been effected. MT. w. E Dauchey d gentleman of high engineer ing attachments, who has been chief en- gineer of the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific Railroad company, who had oc- cupied the position of division engineer in charge of the Culebra division, was. upon my leaving the isthmus. placed in charge of the work as acting chief en- gineer, he having occupied similar po- sition during my absence from the istb- mus at the call of the Secretary during the month of April. and having success fully conducted the work through the demoralization attendant upon the change in organization.
 ."rhe only work which can be perform ed until after Congress at its next ses- sion shall take some decided action is the gradual increase in the organization and the addition of units of machinery along a well defined plan which MT. Dauchey thoroughly understood.
 '.The simple work of excavating at Gull ebra and preparing for further excava- tion are the only things which could be done pending a final decision from Con gress. The only possible benefit that my personal service as chief engineer could have been to the work was such as might be due to the purel.- personal element which would have been largely supplied by my continuance with the work in an advisory capacity.

 After an examination of the patient Dr. Scudder announced that Secretary Hay was suffering from the effects of a chill contracted on the trip from Washing ton to this place similar to an attack he had about four years ago. It was be- lieved then that Mir. Hay would be fully recovered within few days. Each day since that time the information given out regarding the Secretarys condition has been of most encouraging character Yesterday 1t was announced that the sec retary's improvement was more marked than on the day before. It was thought that the warm weather would hasten his recovery and 1t was anticipated that he would be able to leave his bed on Sun day.

was not only my right, but my duty to give the matter the most careful consid- eration in all it's bearings. considering not only the general situation as it af- fected the work but my family personal and business relations and all the various factors entering into the problem; and I could not concede the right to the Secretary of War or any one to dictate my decision. The only debatable ques- tions were the details as to putting my decision into effect. and while l stated to the Secretary what my desires were, I told him that l was perfectly willing to conform to his wishes as far as possible as to the time and manner of my with draWal.

Gave Subject Careful Thought.

My final decision was arrived at as the result of the six days uninterrupted thought which l was able to give the subject in all it's bearings curing my voyage from New York toi Colon in May Furthermore, had pledged myself to my family to give the matter of my resigna- tion as chief engineer or any position which would require my continuous resi- dence on the isthmus serious considera- tion.
 Tt was at this psychological moment that 1 received q cablegram from New which I was bound to consider l there fore immediately cabled the Secretary of War requesting a conference and arrived in New York for that purpose on Thurs day. June p.
 In the meantime had addressed a let ter to the secretary in which I confirmed the interview and also requested my an- nual leave of absence. wf1icn was part of my original understanding with the isth- milan canal commission. and which l had requested from Admiral Walker in March to take effect at our mutual convenience some time later in the season, which re- quest. however, was not complied with or answered, owing probably to t'he sud- den change made in the commission on the 1st of April.
 ''On my arrival in New York I was met by Mr. William Nelson Cromwell. who stated that he was delegated by the sec retary to arrange for personal interview with me. and asked if I would meet him at the Manhattan hotel at 10 a. m. Sun day, June 9.

Naturally Took Exception.

''It was this suggestion to which he chose to refer as a 'dcker' To that statement l naturally took exception, particularly as he stated that he did not care for any reports that l might make. summarizing and analyzing the results of d years hard work on the isthmus. also that he did not value my counsel and advice and that the only service he de- sired was that of a constructing engineer on the isthmus. No intimation of fric- ton between the Secretary and myself would have ever become public if 1t had not accidentally or otherwise been given out by the persons in attendance at the conference on Sunday. other than myself: and 1 desire to state emphatically. and the representatives of the press will bear me out that l have refused absolutely. either directly or indirectly to be inter- viewed. and have remained silent under the inuendos which have been daily pub lished since the conference, and would not have made even this statement at this time If it had not been for the severe strictures contained in the statement of inc Secretary. which I consider unjust and uncailed for, and which could serve no useful purpose.

Attempted to Draw Him Out.


 While Mir. Cromwell treated me with the suavity and courtesy for which he is noted. he endeavored to draw from me my reasons for desiring to see the secre- tary. l told him frankly that I did not consider 1t would be proper for me to discuss the matter in advance of my interview and l also requested him to arrange for me with the secretary that the interview should be absolutely pri- vate and that no one but the secretary and myself should be present.
 "On arriving at the Manhattan on Sun day I was met by Mr. Cromwell. who ushered me into the secretarys private apartment, accompanied by my son. As suming that arrangements had been made for a strictly private interview, my son withdrew expecting Mir. Crom- well to do the same. However. the sec retary in a rather peremptory manner directed Mir. Cromwell to remain.
 This action of course caused irrita- tion and apprehension on my part that the interview would be unpleasant and unsatisfactory and the irritation under which the secretary was evidently labor ing had tendency to prevent that calm and dignified consideration of the ques- tion in all it's bearings which should have been given 1t.
 If the secretary understood me to say that I had accepted a position in New York he labored under a misappre- hension I did state to him that 1 de- sired to accept one. but under such cir cumstances and conditions and at such time would cause the least embarrass- ment to the administration and the least Injury to the work. and that I was even willing to go to the extent of remaining for an indefinite time on the commission should he desire my counsel and advice in arranging for the change. assisting in preparing plans for submission to the advisory of engineers in September or in the further consideration of the questions by the administration of changes during it snext session.
