Especial Cable from the International
News Serviccl
Cairo. Egypt, March 25.-Theodorc
Roosevelt upset the plans OF the gov
eminent today by absolutely refusing
the protection of a guard. Neverthe-
less. because the radical Nationalists
have been angered by Mr. Roosevelt's
structures ON their aims and methods,
the authorities are taking NO chances
of an attack or . demonstration and
he is never out Of sight of the secret
police agents.
Col. Harvey. chief Of the Cairo DO
lice. cooperating with the government
police. arranged today to have q
that follows Mr.. Roosevelt. and in
spite of the latter's democratic attitude
he is strongly guarded. though not rs
well guarded as the authorities wish.
The Roosevelt party spent the nisht
at the Mena House. near the pyramids.
after their inspection Of the ancient
monuments by moonlight last night.

There and at Shepherds hotel.
where the Roosevelts while in Cairo.
occupy the royal suite. crowds of Euro
peans and natives gathered today in
the hope of getting a glimpse at THE
King of America" as he is known to
the major part of the native pOpula-
tion. There are more than 200 Amer.
one has a single object-to see Roose-
welt.
In an effort to avoid these attentions
Mr.. Roosevelt uses a side entrance
when entering or leaving Shepherds.
Mrs. Grover Cleveland, who attended
the dinner at the Mena house given
last night by Mr.. and Mrs. Cleveland
Dodge of New York, today spent some
time with Mrs. Roosevelt.
Visits sakkara Tombs.
The main feature of the Roosevelt
program today was a tour Of the tombs
of Sakkara. under the guidance of

The route extended along the Nile
for some distance, with return by
launch. stopping at the geological gar
dens. before the dinner given Sy Cir
Eldon Gorst. the British agent and
consul general In Egypt.
At the geological gardens Mr.. Roose-
welt spent much time In comparing tho
specimens in captivity with those that
he bagged in his hunting trip.
Cry Down Any Danger.
i've got better than those In my
bag" he laughingly said.
Although incendiary articles have
appeared in the more extreme publicar
tions of the Nationalists since Ro0se-
welt made his first attack on their
principals. government officials today
cried down the danger of an attempt
at revenge on the former president.
There is no danger" declared one
prominent official today. Neverthe-
less he was one of those demanding
complete espionage
The premier, Mohammed Said Pa
sha. himself Nationalist. though
chary of making . direct reference to
Mr.. Roosevelt. today intimated that
| there was no cause for anxiety.
| A Significant Appeal.
The murder of the premier's prede-
cessor, Boutras Pasha Chali. however.
is a seriousness Of the internal crisis
in Egypt. and the appeal in an open
letter from the Nationalist leader.
Eheikh Ayli Youssef. to Mr.. Roosevelt.
asking him to desist from further COM
ment on the Nationalist. is signifi-
cant
| At the same time there IN much anx-
iety among European residents over
the possibility al native uprising and
the excitement aroused BY Mr.. Roose-
velt's declarations has but added to the
iuneasiness among them
In spite of all however, Col Roose-
Welt has done much to win the admira-
tioa of even his native critics By his
refusal of q guard when Il was Offered
to him by the head Of the police n
