ROOSEVELT'S REMARK.

Atlanta, Ga, Oct. 12.-It was
learned through friends of Mayor
Maddox that while Colonel Roosevelt
and the mayor were riding through
the city Roosevelt remarked to Mayor
Maddox that if he were sure he could
carry a southern state he would
again run for the presidency.
Colonel Roosevelt's remark to May
or Maddox and his general activity
while in Georgia has led to a strong
belief here that he is practically out
in the open for the presidency in
1912. Many politicians said today
that they would not be surprised to
hear that Roosevelt had made a pub
lie announcement of his intention to
stand ready to answer a demand
from his party"
Roosevelt talked politics and new
nationalism" on every occasion that
was offered. His trip through the
state was like that of a candidate
during a heated campaign, and it
will take a mighty strong argument
to induce Georgia to believe that
Teddy" is not now actively engaged
in an effort to land himself back in
the White House.

OF AMAPALA,

Washington, Oct. 13-General Jose
Maria Nalladares, commandant at
Amapala, on the western coast of
Honduras, whose dictatorship over the
island of Amapala has stirred up trou-
bic for the government at Teguci-
galpa, is going TO quit.
After complaints had been made by
the foreign consuls against his con
duct President Davila of Honduras
telegraphed ordering him to resign
from office and proceed at once TO the
capital. General Valladares has re-
piled that he will leave Amapala as
soon as he is able to close his ac-
counts.
San Salvador, Oct. 13.-Information
has reached here that the United
States cruiser Princeton arrived at
Amapala and demanded the surrender
of Commandant Valadares. who has
inaugurated "A reign of terror against
American and British interests in the
western part of Honduras. Valladares
is said to have refused to surrender,
sending word he is not "subservient to
American pigs
Just prior to the arrival of the
American warship President Davila
sent word to Valladares to meet any
demand made upon him by the Amer
lean commander. Valladares wired
back to the capital, Tegucigalpa, that
he is running his port as it suits him.
He refused to comply with the presi-
dents request for surrender.
The news from Amapala declared
that American marines were preparing
to land and take forcible possession Of
the port and that they would proba-
bly, meet resistance. Valladares has
mounted rapid fire guns at the custom
house, commanding the wharfs. and
he threatens TO fight off any attempt
on the part of Yankee or English ma
rines to land
An English cruiser is on the way to
Amapala. Whether the American ma
rines will await its arrival for con
certed attack on Valladares' strong
hold is not known here.

IaflS. oct 13.-The strike of the
railroad men. which threatens to
spread throughout the length and
breadth Of France, is denounced by
Premier BRAND as "an insurrection
purely, built upon criminal founda-
tons"
The premier said the strike has
been called while negotiations were
going on through himself and the min
lister of public works for an adjust
ment Of grievances. and he promised
that the instigators of the strike would
be criminally prosecuted.
Much destruction has been wrought
on the Western system, where the
strikers and their supporters have held
up and wrecked trains, blocked tracks,
destroyed signals, ripped up rails and
cut telephone and telegraph wires.
The government has ordered the ar
rest of score of the strike leaders,
and instructions have been issued to
the troops to use severe measures
wherever occasion required.
The losses to commerce already are
tremendous. Scores of trains have
been stalled along the roads. many Of
these carrying food supplies, which
even now have become unfit for use.

NJ. Jaures, leader of the Socialists in
the chamber of deputies, answered
Premier BRAND, charging that the rail-
roads OF the government were respon-
sible for the present crisis.
He said that the scheme of milltariza-
tion was dangerous, as it was certain
to weaken military discipline and in
crease antimilitarism.
Cologne, Germany, Oct 13.-Railway
traffic between this city and France is

ceed.
Arrangements have been made to

France. Travellers in automobiles arriv-

mont say that many caravans of motor
cars have reached the Belgian frontier
from French points.
