Roosevelt Sails for Peurto Rico.

Colon, Special-President RoOse-
Welt and his party sailed Saturday
night for Ponce, Peurto Rico, on
board the Battleship louisiana
At $50 O'Clock President ROOse-
Welt reached pier No III, where there
was an enthusiastic gathering of at
least 500 persons, principally canal
employees at Cristobal and other
points along the line. Here the pres
ident assembled the bandstand and
made n 80 minute speech.
In giving his impressions of the
work on the canal, he said he was
pleased with what already had been
dOre and paid his respects to those
who had adversely criticized the
work.
"How about Poultney Bigelow 7"
came from among the auditors.
With much deliberatiOn the presi-
dent remarked that In every large
work there was always some one TO
find something that vas not 6one as
II should have been; but the employees
should on no account pay attention
TO such criticisms as the critics would
sink out of sight while the work the
men were doing and had done would
rensin long after all criticism had
Eeen forgotten. President Roosevelt
said also he was so impressed with
the magnitude and greatness of this
work that he would like to see one of
his sons engaged therein. He eongrat-
ulated all the heads of departments
on the work being done and with es-
pecial warmth he congratulated Capt.
George R. Stanton on his success In
maintaining order in the canal zone
ard in ~perfecting the splendid po-
lice force under his control. In con-
elrsion the president said he would
iFe to remain longer on the isthmus,
but that it was necessary for him to
get back to his work In the United
States.

greeted with cheers by the Second

the service Of this regiment the de-
