Mr.. ROOTS TRIP
Will Accept the Hospitality of
Chile.
In A CHILEAN WARSHIP
Part of the Journey Will Be
Made.
THE CRUISER CHARLESTON
Is Too Large to Work It's Way Along
the Inside Passage-Changes
of Temperature.

Secretary Root will accept the hospitality
| of Chile and make part of his trip along
! the west coast OF South America in
Chilean warshp The United States cruiser
| Charleston. on which Secretary Root will
sail for South America, Is too large a craft
! to work Its way along the inside passage
| from the Straits of Magellan to Valparaiso,
Chile, and consequently the Secretary Of
| State and his party will probably leave the
Charleston at Sandy Point, in the Strait of
Magellan and 10 aboard a Chilean man Of
war, which can work its way along between
the islands of the west coast and the MAIN
| land. thus shortening the trip by several
| hundred miles and enabling Mr.. Root to re-
| main longer In Chile.
Changes of Temperature.
AS 1t is extremely cold in that section of
the world in August. Mr. Root and his fam
lily will miss much rough weather by taking
the inside route. The marked changes in
temperature the Root party will encounter
will be of the disagreeable features of
the trip. From the extreme heat of the
equator Mr.. Root will be rapidly plunged
Into the cold of the far south, and will
emerge from the cold into the heat of the
equatorial countries again all within few
weeks
The cruiser Charleston Is a twenty-knot
vessel. and consequently Secretary Root will
be able to make his long trip In shorter
time than he could on an ordinary CONNER
cial vessel. For the most part, the stops
made by Secretary Root will be very short.
After leaving New York. July 4, he will sail
directly for San Juan, Porto Rico, where he
will remain for day. He will then
sail to Para, Brazil, near the mouth of the
Amazon. where he will arrive July Is. His
next stop will be at Pernambuco. He will
then sail for Bahia. and after remaining
there for few hours will start for Rio de
Janeiro. where he will arrive July Is, four
days after the opening of the Pan-American
conference.
In Rio Ten Days
Secretary Root will probably remain in
Rio Janeiro about ten days. 1t Is expected
that he will make trip to San Paulo, said
to be the most modern city in Brazil He
will probably not return to Rio Janeiro
from San Paulo, but will be met by the
Charleston at Santos, the great Brazilian
coffee port. From Santos he will sail for
Montevidieo, Uruguay. He will then go
to Buenos Ayres, Argentina, preparatory to
starting on his long trip around the south
ern end Of the continent His stops on the
west coast of South America will be at Val
paraiso, Chile, Callao, Peru and GuayaQuil,
Ecuador. From Valparaiso he will journey
by rail to Santiago, the capital of Chile. He
will also take the rail- trip from Callao to
Lima, the Peruvian capital. The distance
from GuayaQuil to Quito, the capital of
Ecuador, Is great that Mr.. Root probably
will be unable to make the trip.
After crossing the Isthmus of Panama
Mr.. Root will go to Cartagena. Colombia.
to pay his respects to that government.
The Colombian secretary of state will
doubtless be at Cartagena to greet Mr..
Root and 1t Is not unlikely that President
Reyes himself will make the long trip from
Bogota to greet the America Secretary of
State Cartagena will be Mr. Roots last
stop before returning to New York.
