7 CHICAGO, June 15.-The expected
arrival of Theodore Roosevelt in the
convention city this morning was the
sole topic Of conversation last night
Ills supporters announce his intention
OF going upon the floor of the con-
Ventlon and demanding the right to
De heard in defense of his own can
didacy.
Should the colonel make such a de.
mand it is generally conceded It
would be difficult for the convention
to deny his request, however
unprecedented it might be. In this
connection, many are recalling the
supposed Roosevelt program as an
nounced last week, that failure TO
stampede the convention in his favor
would be taken advantage Of by the
Rough Rider to denounce from the
! floor the convention and the nation
al committee and to call upon all
who desired to stand with him to
leave the hall and the party.
Supporters of the President de-
clare that this action on the part of
a presidential candidate is the most
undignified of the many things he
has been guilty of during the past
sixty days. They declare that he
will be impotent at the convention to
prevent his defeat and that his COM
ing is to be taken as an indication
that he is doomed to be beaten and
he knows it, but desires to be on hand
to make his bolt more dramatic.
Mr.. Roosevelts supporters, on the
other hand, declare that he is speed
ing toward Chicago at their request,
in order that they may be abe to
consult him at first hand during the
strenuous times before them. They
declare that they have found it most
iucorvenient to have to carry on the
necessary conversations concerning
vital points over the long distance
telephone lines.
ALBANY, New York, June 15-The
train in which Theodore Roosevelt is |
travelling towards Chicago, yesterday
struck a huge boulder which had been
washed from an overhanging bank
and which had rolled on to the track.
The accident delayed the train for
an hour. None were injured in the
accident, although there was great
excitement when the shock of the col
lision was felt.
HAVANA, Cuba, June 15.-Only
meager news concerning the rogress |
of the negro revolution is b cling re-
ceived from the Province of Oriente,
which fact is being accepted here as
evidence that the insurrectos have
scattered and are maintaining only |
guerrilla tactics against the various
federal forces in the field. The gov
eminent has evidently been successful
in preventing the mobilization of the
rebels in any strength and hope is
running high that what had threaten
ed to become a national danger has
already been reduced to a very minor
affair." which the troops now in the
province will be able to handle.
The American marines, landed to
protect the mines in the neighborhood
of Santiago, are intrenched but in
active Their commander reports hav-
ing seen no insurrectos in the neigh
bOrhood since Monday, when the
American outposts we're fred upon.
