Especial Cable to The Tines-Dtspatch.r
vienna, April ;6.-The most stgnifi-
cant event OF Colonel Roosevetts visit
here to-day was the official call made
by Ciranita Del Belmonte. the Papal
Nuncio at the court OF Austria. upon
Colonel Roosevelt at the Hotel Bristol.
after a luncheon given by Ambassador
Kcrens The call lasted three-uuar-
ters of an hour, during which Colonel
Roosevelt and the Nuncio were in al
most continuous conversation.
Vienna tonight is naturally filled
with speculation of the import of tho
visit. The general inclination is to
consider that 1t marks healing of
the breach between Colonel Roosevelt
and the Vatican. which was opened SO
explosively upon his arrival at Rome.
Others endeavor 20 minimize the Inn
portance. and say it was merely call
of courtesy. without any relation or
significance to the Vatican incident.
But this theory is not held by those In
innate with matters at the Austrian
court and the Vatican.
Emperor Intcrvenes.
1t is felt the Nuncio would not have
called unless he had received direct
orders from Rome to do so. His orders
are believed to be due to the interven-
ton of the Emperor. who desired to
bring about peace between his Ameri-
can guest and the Vatican, whereof he
is such firm supporter The visit was
arranged last night and carefully kept
secret. 1t was intended to have the
Nuncto at luncheon. but owing to a
previous engagement the Nuncio could
not accept. but said he would be de-
lighted to call upon Colonel Roose-

His anxiety to see Roosevelt was ap-
parent from later incident. The Nun
clos luncheon engagement detained
him until nearly o'clock. and fearing
that he had missed Roosevelt he drove
direct to Prince Fuensterberg's palace.
expecting to find tile colonel there.
He was greatly relieved to learn that
Roosevelt was still at the Bristol, and
his coach made rapid journey TO the
palace.
In full scarlet cassock, accompanied
by his secretary. the Nuncio went d.
rectly to a large reception room. where
Colonel Roosevelt was engaged in talk

between the two was extremely cordial.
Roosevelt afterwards. through his Sec

clos palace
Royal Rush.
Tho rest of the day was a royal
rush. According to the well-informed
Niennese, no man, private citizen or
royalties, has been accorded such pub
lie ovations as have been bestowed
upon Roosevelt Everywhere he Wis

who did not neglect any chance to lot

universal hat raising.
Colonel Roosevelt got lost for a few
minutes. owing to Baron Hengelmuller
losing his sense of direction. Colonel
Roosevelt and Baron Hengelmuller
left the Bristol together with Kermit
to step across to the palace OF Prince
Fuerstenberg, about stones throw
away. Immediately the throngs
awaiting outside the entrance to tho
hotel which, since Colonel Roosevelts
arrival is packed around to the en-
trance, followed, cheered and raised
their hats. Passersby joined the
crowd so that by the time a lock
was passed 1t became an enormous pa-
rade. A squad of policemen had the
greatest difficulty i'll restraining the

Auto Works Hard.
The imperial automobile was kept
hard at work all day and night. Early
this morning Roosevelt motored way
out of town TO Schloss Kreusteln,
where the owner, Count HAMS Wilczek,
received them at the gateway. Tho
