ROOSEVELT MUST
TAKE LONG REST

Oyster Bay. N. Y, June 27.-Four
months Of absolute rest has been pre-
scribed for Colonel Roosevelt by his
physicians, who informed him that
he was suffering from an enlarge
ment of the spleen and a loss of vi
tality as result Of the maralian fe..
yer he contracted in the South Ameri-
can iungles.
But in four months the campaign
will be over" the colonel said today
Consequently, he added, he consider
ed it an impossibility for him to fol-
low his physicians advice.
Colonel Roosevelt has abandoned
his campaign trip across the conti-
nent, which had been arranged ten
tatively for September. He also tele-
graphed to Pittsburg that he would
make only one speech there on Tues
day night. Two had been arranged.
The change in the ex-president's S
plans came after an examination
made last night by DR.. Alexander
Lambert of New York. DR.. Lambert
came to Oyster Bay and spent more
than an hour in inspection of his
patient. Then he told him he must
rest of four months. He urged the
colonel to give up his trip to Pitts
burg, to make no speeches during the
oior fnr
give up everything that would tax
his strength. He explained, the col
onel said, that 1t would require a
long period to shake off the effects
Of the malaria and that II this was
not accomplished, the disease might
become so securely fastened on him
that he would never recover his full
strength. 1t might even impair his
mental vigor. the physician said.
Colonel Roosevelt declined to heed
the warning. He said 1t would be
an impossibility for him to give up
his campaign work.
"I think Mr.. Lambert took a
gloomy view," Colonel Roosevelt said
laughingly. But I shall take care
of myself so as well as I can and
III see that the malaria does not get
settled In my system"
Upon his return from Pittsburg.
Colonel Roosevelt is to see throat
specialist. But whatever the physi-
clans say OF the possible consequences
he is determined, he said, to go on
with the campaign In a limited way.

In order that the people of Colo

understand conditions with which
the militia and the mine operators

In that report, General Chase has

PARADE

Washington. June 27.-Secretary
Daniels in statement early today
announced that the ships of the At
lantic battleship fleet which will
lead the international naval parade
out of Hampton Roads for the OPEN
ing of the Panama canal next March
would return from the Pacific coast
to Atlantic waters after participating
in the Panama-Pacific exposition
ceremonies. The statement was is
sued because the secretary said ref
erence by him yesterday to the navy
departments plans regarding the
Forthcoming exposition had been
misconstrued as an announcement
that the fleet would be sent to the
Pacific coast and there remain for a
long time. The statement Is as fol-
| lows:
Next spring 1t is the intention of
the navy department to send as great
a proportion Of the Atlantic fleet as
can conveniently be spared as an es-
cort of honor to visiting ships OF for
eign nations attending the ceremon-
les incident to the opeing Of the
Panama canal. The fleet will ac-
company the visitors through the
canal to San Francisco, which will
be reached in April. where they will
take part in the ceremonies incident
to the Panama-Pacific exposition.
Further than this no definite plans
have been made.
at is possible that a division OF
four ships will take advantage Of this
occasion to visit Honolulu and that
another division will visit Puget
Sound. The fleet will then return
to the Atlantic coast. Whether or
not any other OF the ships OF the
fleet will be left permanently on the
west coast has not been determined,
although with the opening Of the
Panama canal 1t Is. Of course. likely
that eventually more ships will be
kept in Pacific waters than at pres

BOOZE PEDDLERS-
ROCKWELL DOES REST

It's sad tale. There is little or
no romance connected with it. May
be that is the reason that 1t is SO
true. 1t is 2athetIc-almost trag-
edy-at least to Grant Thompson
and Freeman Hurd, two colored gen.
tlemen who claim Walsenburg as
their home. And as they say. "Bo,
losing nine quarts and nine pints of
good old Kentucky Bourbon, half a
pint of gin and getting stuck fifty
and costs by the police udge. is no
small matter"
1t happened this way. Last even
ing shortly after the arrival of San
ia Fe No. 10 from Ration. Night Cap
tain Harry Lewis, with his usual
slew-foot ability, spotted two colored
men carrying suit cases which
seemed to be extraordinarily heavy.
Lewis accosted the two gentlemen
and inquired as to the reason of the
heavy suit cases. "Nothin'. boss.
nothin'." they replied, Just clothes
Lewis Immediately became inquisi-
tive and took the two to the city jail
| where the suit cases were examined
and 1t was found that they contained
enough liquor to go into the whole
sale business. The men were kept in
the city cooler over night and this
morning were given hearing be-
fore Judge Hines and were fined
fifty dollars and costs each.
Captain Rockwell and squad Of
cavalrymen were called and the bot
ties containing the booze were brok-
en- and the liquor poured out on the
steps leading to the city Jail. The
two prisoners and score of bystand-
ers calmly looked on while Captain
Rockwell and his troops dexteriously.
for by now they are in training for
such events, and with all the cool
ness possible. emptied the booze out
and broke the bottles into a thousand
pieces.
Thompson and Hurd stated to the
court this morning that they were on
their way to Waissnburg and that
when arrested last night vera walt
ing for the C. & s. train which
leaves Trinidad at 1895 at night.
On their person they each had n

A private letter which I received
from regular army officer at Panama
shows what extreme precautions are
being taken to prevent damage to the
canal.
This officer is at one uf the locks on
guard duty, with company of troops.
Twenty-six soldiers, with an officer, go
upon the locks at 6:45 o'clock in the
morning and remain there constantly
for twenty-four hours.
There is no sleep for any one. Then
another detail of twenty-six men and
an officer come to the relief.
Of the LOO workmen still engaged
in the locks nearly all are black" ao-
cording to my correspondent. They
are now kept under constant watch,
to see that no Mexican sympathizer
plants bomb that would blow up the
works.
After the workmen quit at o'clock
in the afternoon, no person is allowed
to approach the locks or canal works.
