PRESIDENTS SPORT.
Has Had an Enjoyable Trip and Killed
Four Bears.

Colorado Springs. April 29.-P. B.
Stewart. who had charge of the ar
rangements for President Rooseyelt's
hunting trip in Colorado. has returned
from the camp. where he was with
the President from the latter's depart
ure from Colorado Springs two weeks
ago until he left the Presidents camp
yesterday.
In telling Of the trip Mr.. Stewart
said:
The first camp was pitched about
eighteen miles southeast of New Cas-
tie. The weather was stormy and in
clement for the first week. Here we
secured the first bear. which was
killed by President Roosevelt after
having made a walking fight with the
dogs for a couple of hours. President
Roosevelt shot him at a distance of
about sixty-five yards. using an crdi-
nary army Springfield. 1t took two
shots to kill the bear, although the
President fired the second shot to
keep him from injuring the dogs, the
first shot having inflicted a fatal
wound. This animal was unusually
large for a black bear. his fine skin
measuring six feet across.
This country being too high for
hunting, We moved camp to another
valley, twelve miles distant. Here the
party made use of comfortable old
cabin, the first camp being under
group of heavy spruce trees. Within
a days ride 1t was found that bear
abounded. When / left the camp at
o'clock Tuesday afternoon six had
been taken. Four had been killed by
President Roosevelt and two by DR..
Lambert No grizzlies had been locat-
ed, but the character of the country
leaves little doubt but that the Presi-
dent will find some before his trip is
ended.
"Of the six bear killed, President
Roosevelt has three fine pelts of the
brown variety, full grown, which were
secured Monday and Tuesday. The
hunt for these two days extended for
distance of approximately forty
miles. The President stood the tedi-
Gus ride as well as any of the party.
In The hunting party besides the execu-
tive were DIR. Lambert. the guides,
Con and Borah, and myself.
THE settlers are delighted to have
the President with them, and he is
equally pleased with his reception.
President Roosevelt appreciates the
courtesy with which those Colorado
newspapers are treating him who have
respected his expressed wishes. There
was not newspaper in camp from
the time Of our arrival until l
left. The distinguished guest devoted
his time to hunting and has not ex-
pressed desire to read a daily paper.
Throughout the entire trip while l
was present there was nothing to in
dictate that the President of the United
States was there, other than the title,
Mr.. President by which the other
members of the party addressed him."

GEN. FITzHUeH LEE DEAD.
Great Confederate and United States
General Succumbs to Apoplexy.

Washington, April 29.-Brig. Gen.
Fftzhugh Lee, U. S. A.. retired, died
here last night, aged 6S years, from
an attack of apoplexy which he suf-
fered early this morning on a train
while en- route from Boston to Wash
ington.
After General Lee had been removed
to the hospital here it was evident to
the attending physicians that his case
was very serious one. but they be-
lieved that his strong vitality and will
power would assist materially in a
partial recovery, at least. from the at
tack.
His condition remained fair, consid-
ering the severity of the attack dur
ing the day, but shortly after O'Clock
he began to grow weaker. his breath
ing became more rapid and his pulse
lower terminating in less than two
hours in death.
The end was peaceful and without
pain. the general remaining conscious
until within five minutes of the end.
Half an hour before death General Lee
recognized his brother Daniel Lee,
who came into the room for a moment.
In the room when he died were DIR.
Montgomery, one of the physicians at
tie hospital; Miss Dorsey, a relative,
and a nurse, two of the attending ply
sicians. Drs. Edie and Kean, having
retired temporarily. A pathetic fea-
ture of the case is that although Cen
eral Lee was blessed with family
consisting of a wife and five children,
not one of them was with him at the
time of his death.
General Lee was nephew OF the
famous confederate chieftain, Robert
E. Lee. He was born in Virginia in
1895. He graduated from West Point
in 1856. and became an officer in the
crack Second Cavalry. serving with
distinction in the Comanche war in
Texas. He resigned in May. 1861, and
entered the Confederate army. rising
rapidly in rank and being made a
major general in 1868. with command
of the cavalry of the army OF North
ern Virginia.
We went on a farm after the war.
and in 1885 was electeu governor of
Virginia President Cleveland placed
him on the board Of visitors to West
Point and later appointed him consul
general at Havana. where he was re-
tanned by President Mckinley, serving
his country with great distinction un-
til the Spanish war broke out. He was
then made a major general of volun-
teers and rode back into Havana
ahead of an American army. He was
/ later placed on the retired list with
the rank of brigadier general

Washington. April 2S.-Secretary
Taft. when made aware of the Presi-
dents plan to leave Colorado May Sth,
showed no surprise, for it was known
to him before the President left Wash
ington that he was very doubtful of
his ability to carry out his wish to re-
main in the hunting country until the
middle of May. The President told
Secretary Taft that he feared he could
not remain longer than May Sth, and
that he consequently had formed an
alternative program, based on that be-
lief. There is no pressing emergency
here requiring the immediate presence
of the President. All of the facts rel
alive to the Venezuelan situation have
been disclosed to the public, and in
the opinion of the officials here they
do not Justify any apprehension of a
rupture in the immediate future.

viii Build Russian Ships.

st. Petersburg. April 2S.-American
superiority over foreign rivals again
triumphs in the complete success
which has crowned the visit OF Charles
NJ. Schwab to st. Petersburg. Mr..
Schwabs negotiations with the Rus
sian admiralty have resulted in the
practical conclusion of an arrangement
for the construction of number of
formidable line-of- battle ships OF "a
type which probably will startle the
world
The details of the construction of
the vessels remain to be worked out.
but in addition to those which will be
built in the United States it is quite
likely that yard will be constructed
at a Baltic port to be manned by Rus
sian workmen, but under American
engineering and mechanical super
vision. The Russian admiralty is ex-
tremely anxious to utilize the rehabili-
tation of the navy for the encourage
ment of the ship building industry at
home, in order to eventually render
the country independent of foreign
yards.
The admiralty has accepted Mr..
Schwab's propositions strictly on their
merits, he having convinced the au-
thorities that he can produce for Rus
STA warships vastly superior to any
thing now afloat or at present pro-
jected by any other government. They
will be monster 16,000-ton vessels of
enormous horsepower and Of a pc
culiar type. combining the projectile-
resisting power OF the battleship with
the speed and wide radius of action of
cruisers. They will be delivered fully
equipped as to armor and ordance.

ed, estimated the number of wounded

NEW FOREST RESERVE.
Another Large Tract Withdrawn from
Sale In Colorado.

Denver, April 2S.-Withdrawa1 oil
277,630 acres Of public land in Colo
RADIO from all disposal except under
the mineral laws. was ordered April
26th by w. A. Richards. commissioner
OF the general land office at Wash.

setting aside of another big forest re-

Register Charles D. Ford Of the Den.
yer land ONCE received a wire from
Commissioner Richards yesterday an
nouncing the action OF the general
land office relative to the withdrawal
and instructing the register to accept
no more filings upon the lands desig-
mated as follows in Summit and Eagle
counties: Townships 4 and 5 Of range
10; 3. 4 and of range 80; 2, 3, and
5 OF range 81; 2. 4 and 5 Of range 81,

The bulk OF this large tract lies in
the northeast part of Summit county
in Gore mountain range and Blue river
country. 1t extends over into the
northeast part OF Eagle county. taking
in the Lone peak and Piney river
country. There are virgin forests on
the ranges, and in the valleys is an
acreage of the richest land in the
state.
While no reason was given by Com.
missioner Richards for ordering the
withdrawal OF this tract. 1t is believed
to be merely preliminary to the crea-
tion of an additional forest reserve.
which will be done by President Roose-
welt later by proclamation.
Eighteen months ago the govern
ment set aside about as large a tract
of public land in Weld, Grand and Lar
inner counties for forest reserves.
Shortly after the withdrawal. govern
ment inspectors were sent there to as
certain how much OF the land had been
filed upon Those owning claims either
sold them back to the government or
received other land in exchange under
the in lieu act.
However, the in lieu act Is not OPP
erative, having been repealed by Con-
gress. And those holding lands in the
tract withdrawn yesterday will not be
molested in their rights. There are
some 100000 acres of public land set
aside in this state as forest reserves.
