NOT READY TO TALK
Colonel Roosevelt Declines to Discuss
Political Matters.

Gondokoro, Soudan. Feb. 2S.--Colonel
Roosevelt and Kermit, together with the
members of their shooting party, who
arrived here on the Belgian gunboat
Boch, passed SUNDAY i'll resting up.
Their experiences during the past few
days in search of the giant Glands hav-
ing proved rather fatiguing. An effort
was mado to secure from Mr.. RooSe-
welt a statement on politics and public
affairs in general. but he emphatically
refused to discuss these matters, as he
said he had completely lost touch with
the outside world. He added he would
require an opportunity fully to review
public affairs before expressing any
opinion.
The party dined with the district
commissioner, who remarked on colonel
Roosevelt's and his his sons fine health.
The others are showing need of rest
after an arduous years trip.
The Americans will leave here today
for Mongolia, where an enthusiastic re-
ception awaits them.
On January 4, Colonel Roosevelt and
the other members of his expedition left
Hoimi for Butiaba. the port on Lake
Albert Nyanza.
Commander II. Hutchinson, r. n. R.,
the Uganda superintendent of marines
had charge of the boats conveying the
expedition to Rhino camp. Eventually,
after many discomforts. the boats ar
rived at Kabo. and on the pier there
were assembled all the white hunters
greet Colonel Roosevelt. 1t was a no
table affair, for never before had there
been such a gathering of great hunters
many of whom had come long distances
to pay their respects to the former
president. -5TS
Perhaps the most conspicuous figure
was John Boyes. called "the King of the
1Nakikuyu." for at one time be virtual
~ was by force of right and might their
king, Boyes is a brother of King
kinanjui. He has led expeditions
through Abyssinia and the Congo, but
settled down in the Congo as an ele-
phant hunter and Congo poacher. Boyes
is said originally to have been an able
bodied seaman on a vessel which put in
many years ago at Mombasa. Whether
he took his discharge there Or deserted
has been a matter OF conjecture for a
long time.
Young Quenton Grogan, brother of
Captain Ewart S. Grogan, who gained
fame by marching from the Cape to
Cairo, was there ready to lead Colonel
Roosevelt to their camp near the White
Rhino haunts.
