Platt Swings to D Roosevelt for \iee Presidency J lodge Suggests Desirability of Candidacy; New York Republican Leader .Agrees. (Washington, H. C., dale not given, Pilv.-ite and confidential. Pear Theodore: I nave lost had a talk with Plait, lie said that hp wan anxious that you •odd succeed In your ambition and ■ a presidential candidate and taking o usual view tie had therefore ail ■ at you against the vice presidency as not likely to lie beneficial. Tflia was voluntary and I am satisfied that he Is for you for the future. Put so far as the vice presidency is concerned h 1 s views are chang 1 n g , If not changed, by noth Ing I said but by the drift o f events. I did not press my views upon him, but let him talk and was much surprised by all he said. There are several New York candi dates for the vice presidency. None quite to his mind and doubtful If they - (mid win. If any one of them does * win it will ho awkward for us. Tills is my opinion thrown in. riatt told me that he was going In see you Saturday and would then talk over with you your own affairs and the vice presidency so you see I sm no dreamer on that point. Now ■hlnk this well over. I am not going to urge you, hut things are so shap ing themselves that the vice presi dency Is becoming stronger and more desirable for you than I had thought possible. Jlo not say a word of what I have written to anyone. It is all In the deadest confidence. Above all do not let Platt suspect in the re motest that I have written you or ihat you had the faintest idea that he was grdng to talk to you about your own affairs. "The. fingpr on the lips'' us Hamlet, says. Hove to Edith, Tell her of course. Yours. If. C. HODGE. Iteeember 20, 1898. Personal Jtear Theodore: I saw the president yesterday. He said of course you ought to have the medal and would have it, but that he had been very reluctant to ,pick out any one man ahead of all the otherR and give him the medal, because he did not think it quite fair, and he also felt that it would bod to a great rush and clamor for them from all quarters, which could lie best stopped by the report of the board. For this reason he has taken no action for any of those specially recommended for gallantry and did not mean to until the hoard sent in their report. X told him that you ought also to have the brevet, to which he agreed, and I think I shall be able to bring that about also. He said that no one had reaped mtjre fiom the war than you or more de servedly, and that there was no one in whose success he was more In terested than he w^s in yours. 1 have had some very interesting talks with hint about our Internation al policy, lie has risen up during the summer to the level of the great events in a very striking way, and t think you will be much Impressed with it when you see him and talk with him. I think, as I wrote you. that we are going to ratify the treaty without trouble. Heed is terribly bit ter. saying all sorts of ugly things about the administration and its . „ .nsa Electric s.

Oyster Bay, L. I., Dec. 21, 1898. (Dictated) I Ion. H. r. T^odge, Senate Dhamber, Washington, D. C. Dear Cabot: I enclose a copy of a cert ificate, which has been sent to the adjutant general In my case. I will get one or two more like it. nnd then, if thov do not. grant the medal, I shall feel, at least, that they have been deprived of all excuse. In a letter to me, Hnwze adds that id his judgment, I was the one man of the entire cavalry brigade who did earn a medal that day. llowze Is, him self, a rnedal-of honor man and, per haps, the most reckless daredevil, as regards his own person, whom 1 met at Santiago. Would you mind keeping the copy? It might he worth while to show to Hie president, and I should like to have it anv)#w, later. Always yours, T11KODORK ROUSKVKI,T. Personal M.v dear Theodore: V It seems too hud to ask you a qiies tion when you are so bothered, hut I cannot help it, for i am in trouble myself about one of my articles. I cannot get any statistics as to the number of Spanish troops at San Juan, or os to the number of the killed and wounded on the Spanish side. The little that I* can gather from the Spanish account is so gro tesquely false as to he beyond use. Could* you tell me where to look," or give me any idea of how many men •hey had there, and how^uany they lost in the action with your division nnd Kent's? Always sincerely yours, Col. Theodore Roosevelt. Sagamore Hill, Dec. 26, ’98. Dear Cabot: As to the Spanish numbers, I think that t he best, figure* are I hose of Frederic Rnnsden, the British consul, who puts the Spanish force on July 1, as 6.000: 4.000 regular*, 1,000 guerillas, 1,000 marines and sailors. On July 2 5.000 more reg lilars marched in. On July 1, Lawton at Caney fought r.nl\ about soft Spaniards, or even less. Wheeler fought about 4,000; or rather over. But these 4,000 could and did retreat; while those at Caney really could not, save In a last des perate, disorganized rush. We had over 12,000 men. But only four bri gades, those of Chaffee, Sumner, Wood and Tlawkins, were really fought. 'With any kind of general ship, our praciically untouched bri gades could have gone on Into the city In the afternoon. As for the Spanish losses, I do not believe l()ey were as heavy as ours. We advanced, exposed largel" in the open, and shot at (heir heads in the trenches, and at the apertures in the block houses. AVhen we took the city we found nearly as many sivki and wounded in their hospitals as we had in ours. I think a thou sand would cover their losses, as against our 1,500. In mjt inaugural I rame nut on ex pansion and the army and navy pretty well; Plait and Odell didn't want mo to touch it, hut I thought an allusion was all right. Yours, T. R.
