Gibraltar, April 4.-Theodore Roose-
Welt was In serious danger Tuesday
afternoon on Ponta del Gada, In the
Azores. A great wave swept him INTO
the sea from a small boat In which he
was returning from . visit 70 that
city. He might have lost his lie. or
1t least had hard struggle for It,
had not two brawny sailors caught
him when another wave pitched him
towards the side Of the Hamburg.

0ada.. and as the small boat neared
the side of the liner on the return
trip the band struck up THE Star
Epangled Banner"
Goes Into the Waves.
The former president rose and
barred his head in respect for the an
them. Two sailors held him, the sea
running high and choppy. The ma
tional hymn ended, the boat was
pitching beside the Hamburg. and Mr..
Roosevelt made q flying leap for the
rope ladder that dangled from the
side OF the vessel. Just then the big
wave tossed the boat, threw him on
his balance and he went into the sea.
He ID q sturdy swimmer. but might
have had . hard time Of 1t In the
rough water X the succeeding wave
had not tossed him up almost to the
foot Of the rope ladder. Two seamen
who were hanging to that grabbed his
arms and held him until he got grip
on the lowest rung and clambered up.

Mr.. Roosevelt landed at Gibraltar
shortly before 10 o'clock yesterday
morning. and for nearly two hours

by far the most important news
from Denmark this week Is the report
that Iceland Is now In open revolt

demands complete Independence. A
dispatch from Copenhagen says:

mise. In view OF the fact that two
thirds OF the members OF the Iceiandio
nlthing support the demand for what
amounts almost to independence, and
that Premier Neergaard OF Denmark
has told them. they will have to take
a good deal less or nothing Mt all. II
la evident TINT there Ia not much pros
pect OF surrender on either aide.
The struggle Is not In Its early
stages. The althing has already OPEN
ly defied Denmark. Tho home govern
ment has always claimed the right OF
appointing Iceland's chief minister.
and at present the post Ii held by
Premier Haffstein. a Dane. The Ice-
landers announced 4 preference for .

garded by Premier Neergaard, called
on Haffstein to resign. The latter re-
fused. and the althing promptly elect

!. That the Copenhagen government
