rnndr-ye. For Itu-ee kquareg along Sou'hJ
Meridian street tbe rarrtsnca and escort
went st a irood Rait, distancing tbte who
attempted to keep up with thrm by ran
Bin. Finally the dtpet as reached and
a alight delay arose In. t ropins the tracks
because, of a train that was about to leave.
The, engine was' stopped aa It. started 'on
Its way srrcss fhe street, and the car
riages went iralloplnr. ever the track ahd
on to South street. The crowd that had
Katbered at the east! end of . the depot
looted upon this maneuver with wonder,
but the rarrlaa.es turted sharply to the essJl
on South street, and In a few minutes the
distance of several squares to the St. Vin
cent hospital wan covered.
At the Hospital.
Aa soon as Captain Hyland of the police
arrived there, he allrntcd and running to
the door of the president's carriage, which
had strpped. he assisted him to alight and
walked with Senator Fairbanks and Oov
ernor Durbln up the steps of the hospital.
The occupants of the third carriage quickly
followed, and at the same time Captain
Callon had stationed h'a mm about the
entrance, and a squad of police who hid
been sent to the hospital before the presi
dent left the club appeared and formed a
rordon about the butldln?. Everything was
done with dispatch and the galDarlng crowds
were kept at a distance. No one was al
lowed to enter the" howpltal except those
belonging to the president's party cr thoso
who had especial business there. From
the tlm" the -president, left the Columbia
club until he found himself In a hospital
urrounded by a cordon of police and fcpl
dlers not more Jhan., tea minutes had
elapsed. The whole movement ha.l been
carefully 1lanned nt' the Collrmbla club be
fore It was Carried out and the utmost ef
fort was made to keep any Inkling of what
was to occur from reaching the street. The
necessary orders to the police and soldiers
were not given until the last moment and
lr. this way fhe knowledge that something
was amlFS was confined only to those who
bad an official Interest In the president's
movements,. Dame Rumor did not have the
opportunity of arousing tho anxiety of thou
sands of people who were gathere'd along
the streets, and the transfer of the prel-.
dent to the hospital was executed without
their having the least notion of what was
transpiring. The first public knowledge of
the true state of affairs came In the form of
a bulletin which was issued by Secretary
Cortelyou and la a short time tho news
paper offices were Ihe center of excited
crowds. '
Jokes In Ihe Operation Room.
After the president entered the operating
room wltK the physicians he eat down on a
stool and waited for the instructions from
the physicians and surgeons, watching their
preparations with keen Interest.
"I anf extremely aorry that I cannot con
tinue my western trip," said he. "Can't
you let m go ahead with It after this thing
In over?" .." ....
Several, of the surgeons turned to h!m
and one aald: "It Is my opinion that yon
would be, vepy indiscreet to continue on
your feet, aa would be necessary In your
speech-making trip, after the operation.
This la by to means a serious thing and
there Is. absolutely .no -danger of serious
ronrequences frona it If you are careful and
stay off your feet until the trouble is over,
but you should by all. means, Mr. President,
discontinue your trip."
"Very well. It will have to be that way."
raid the president, resignedly. "I will do
as you 'gentlemen ay.' Now, what do you
want me to do?"
The president was told to remove hla
shoes and stockings and nether garments.
He also removed his coat and vest. A
moment later, t however, ho . was told - to
simply remove his shoes and that they
would be required to bare the legs only.
This was done The presldepV.walkod 40
the operating abl;lone.nl 's he "jtiy
down1 h remarked, with a amTte':'" "Gentle
men, you are formal. I see you have your
gloves on."-'This was.' reference to th4
antiseptic gloves of the surgeons.
"Mr. President." said a' surgeon, with a
mile, "It Is always In order to wear
gloves' at a president's reception." ' " ,
This caused the- president to exclaim'
"Good! Well aald!"
Operation is Palafal. .
The operation began without delay. The
pain caused the president to mutter several
tlmea In a lo voice, buf'he said nothing
that was distinct except to ask for a glass
or water before the needle had been' re
moved. After the operation was "over he
mado several laughing remarks concerning
trivial matters and asked If he would be
allowed to uee his leg long enough to wall:
upstairs himself.
."You will be hauled upstairs In
wheeled ambulance," aald a surgeon. When
they brought the vehicle In the president
aid: f'Why, that's a wheelbarrow!"
After being taken to the upper room from
tne operating room the president was
erved with a light luncheon and chattd
pleasantly to those In the room. He made
everal kind remarks to the attending
nurses about the trouble he was causing
and shifted his position several times ner
vously. At 7:40 p. m.. a White blanket was tbrowu
round him nnd he was placed on the hos
pital stretcher and. escorted by a company
of Infantry, was carried to the car, a block
away, by four negro porters from the train.
Ha bsde goodbye to the nurses as he was
being carried out of the hall to the eleva
tor and thanked them for their kindness.
He did not talk during his trip to the car.
Senator Fairbanks. Governor Durbln and
other prominent citizens were at the train
to bid him goodby.
History ot the Troable.
The swelling of the presidents leg which
made an operation necessary was occasioned
by a bruiae he received at the time of the '
trolley car accident at Plttsgeld. Mass.,
when the president's carriage waa run Into
a"&d demolished by a car. Beside being In
jured In the face end across the eye, the
president at that time, received a blow upon
the inner part of the left leg between the
ankle and the knee, but he paid no atten
tion to It, Ignoring It as being a slight
bruise not worth talking about." For several
weeks be took no beed of It, but finally It
began to pain htm so as to enforce his at
tention. After starting on his western
trip he determined that perhaps Dr. Lung,
who was abcard the train, should examine
It. The doctor did so and pronounced It to
be a aerlous matter. When In Detroit the
doctor declared that something would have
' to be done.
After consulting with Dr. Richardson, an
other member of Ihe party. It was decided
that In order to avoid the point' IMty of
blocd poisoning It would ba wise to have an
operation . perfcuned. ' The president was
very muih averse to anything of the kind
being done. Nevertheless, when Logans
port, Ind , had been reached he bad been
prevailed on to deliver the tariff speech
which bad been prepared ftr Milwaukee
and was regarded as one ot the ruott Im
portant ef hla proposed speeches for the
west.

to meet tbe president and with this end In
view the senator telegraphed to Dr. Oliver.
Dr. Cook and Dr. Jameson to be at the
Massachusetts avenue depot. When the
train pulled Into the station the doctor
were there and they were taken by the
senator 'immediately into the president's
car. Tbe physicians accompanied tho party
to Tomllnson ball and It was thought by
those who noticed them that they were
merely ' present as members of the recep
tion committee.
When the president arose to acknowledge
the reception given him at the ball and also
when he got up from bis seat to make his
speech It' was noticed by those near him
in front of the hall that he stood with all
tits weight cn bis right leg, and the posture
j seemed so awkward and so much like a
pose mat it caused more tnsn one com
ment. Little did they think that ho did so
because of the pain in the left leg.
During the delivery of his speech, when
he had become aroused, he stood on both
legs, and at one point In the speech he
seemed to forget about his Injury so com
pletely that be took several steps, and In
so doing hit his leg against a gun that
was stacked with others on the stsge. An
expression of pain passed quickly over bis
face, which was remarked upon by many
listening to him, who could not understand
why he should make such peculiar facial
expressions.
Kven Companion, Don't Suspect.
The trip to the Columbia club followed
without any feature that would give even
a hint that the, great .western trip of the
president, was a( ',ari. end. i -Everyone, in
cluding even 'those. who were In the presi
dent's party, outside of Secretary Cortelyou
and the physicians, had no thought but
that the program was to bo carried ' out
to tbe end, and It was a gay throng that
marched Into the rlub to take .luncheon
and have a little rest. But Instead of
going Into the dining room tbe president
was taken Into a private room, where, un
known to the bustling crowd Inside and
outside of the club, he was made the sub
ject of a serious consultation by the phy
sicians. His leg wss'bared and the swell
ing examined: After a considerable time
the physicians arrived at the verdlct- Said
Dr. Oliver:.
"In order to avoid possible blood poison
ing setting In, It will be necessary for tbe
president to submit to a slight operation,"
and In this, all the other doctors agreed.
The president demurred, but the doctors
Insisted that a man in his position could
not afford to take chances. The president
wished that the operation, since it was
necessary, should be postponed until ha
reached Washington, but the physicians
araln o roved obdurate. They said that
while no very serious consequences might
follow a postponement of the operation,
still there remained a possibility -' thftt
there might. . :
Delay Inadvisable.
They gave. It as--their opinion that the
bruise could not be trifled with In Its then
condition, and that no one could afford
under all the circumstances to take any
chances In postponing tbe needed surgical
attention
' The verdict of the dodtors being thus
pronounced there was uulliiiig, lfcft but to
carry out their mandate. In the meantime
many of the reception committeemen wero
eating their dinners, and In an hour or so
the president himself ent into the dining
room and took luncheon with a small party
at one of the tables.' He was then escorted
to the gallery of the club. Jacing ttie'tuonu-
ment, where he made a short speech, In a
good clear voice, and seemed to be the last
persqa , In the world suffering' frotri. any
physical ailment: He 'then retired, within

rlson and requested l)lm to notify the
member pf the .reaentloU SommJUUe . jiff. 4te
dining room asd the club that the presi
dent would not be escorted to the depot.
The colonel carried ;out the request,
replying to . questions1-that 'the president
was resting or that H had been decided to
take him away In the carriage without a
formal escort. The orders were given tq
tbe captains of tbe militia and the heads
of the police and at 3:15, everything being
in readiness, the dash to the hospital was
made. ' T ' '
Those Present."
'
The senators and others, of , the party
were aot Invited to ascend In tlie elevator,
and the only ones present at tbe operation
were Secretary Root and Private Secreta
Hea Cortelyou and Loeb. The doctors
present were Dra. George H. Oliver, George
J. Cook and Henry Jameson of this city
and Dra.-George A. Lung and J. J. Richard
sen of Washington. Drs; Dowd and Mace,
two Internes at ths hospital, were also
present.
The president's nurse in the operating
room was Sister Mary Jcseph. but in his
private room he was attended by Bister
Rrglna, whom he became acquainted with
at Montauk Point. Sister Reglna waa one
of tbe nurses who went to that great camp
of soldier Invalids at tbe close of the cam
paign In Cuba, and there she -performed
much heroic work In attending to the fever,
stricken men, among whom were a num
ber of Colonel Roosevelt's own regiment
of "Rough Riders." She then made the
acquaintance of the man who waa to be
president.
Dr. Oliver was very reticent about the.
operation, but made the following state
ment during the evening: "The operation
was - performed successfully, but It really
was not a serious one. The tear waa that
If the serum had been allowed to remain
blood poisoning might set In. but I believe
there Is no further cause for apprehen
sion. Tbe swelling In the president's leg
was about as big aa the open hand laid on
the' leg. The operation only took a short
time and In no way affected the physical
condition of the president. He Is Just
the same today as any other well man,
outside ot tbe sore place on his leg."

ARRANGEMENTS AT CAPITAL
Cabinet Member, and tbe Phyalrlaas
rian to Make C rippled Karcntlv,
Comfortable a. Possible,
WASHINGTON, Sept. 24. The Illness of
President Roosevelt and tbe consequent
abandonment of bis western trip came as
a total aurprlse to everybody In Wsshlngton.
Secretaries Moody and Wilson had both
planned to Join the president this week
and accompany him for a time. Now, how
ever, that the president Is returning to
Washington, Mr. Moody will .postpone his
visit west until the time for his address
before the Marquette club of Chicago, which
engagement he will keep.
An official report of the president's con
dition came to the Navy department yes
terday from Dr. George A. Lung, the
surgeon who was detailed to accompany
the chief executive on his trips. It was
addressed to Rear Admiral P. M. Rlxey,
chief of the bureau of medicine and surg
ery, and in his absence from the city its
contents were not made public.
Dr. John trie, the assistant chief of the
department, who for a time was detailed to
act as physician to the Roosevelt family,
took the report to Secretary Moody. It
was very much In accord with tbe state
ment Issued by Secretary Cortelyou, Issued
from Indianapolis prior to the operation,
and stating that there was a bruise on tbe
shin, and that a minor operation was neces
sary. It was stated that the president
would need a rest and this would necessi
tate the abandonment of the western trip.
Dr. lTrle is ot the opinion that the presi
dent will be all right In a short time. Such
wounds as that described are apt to be
more painful than serious.
Care I, eesrr.
Whenever there is a bresk in the con
tinuity of the skin, he aald. It makes tbe
circulation of the blood In that vicinity
very poor and careful handling of the In
Jury Is required to prevent any ulceration.
The doctor thought, from his present In
formation, that a rest of a week or so
would cause the wound to heal nicely and
tbe cause of tbe disturbance to disappear.
Dr. Rlxey, who was family physician to
tbe late President McKlnley and also to
the Roosevelt family until ho was appointed
surgeon general of the navy, will be In
tbe city today and will be available for
assistance In the care of the president
should his services be desired.
. No word regarding the president's con
dition, nor of his Intention to return to
Washington, had been received at the tem
porary White House up to midnight to
night. The general expectation, however,
is that he will make his headquarters
there during his stay In Washington.
While the accommodations are not ade
quate for the entire family, they are ample
for the president and Mrs. Roosevelt, should
the latter Join him, and a corps of servants,
and can soon be put in shape for occu
pancy. There Is an accumulation of busi
ness on hand awaiting Mr. Roosevelt's re
turn, and this, with the fact that the presi
dent has promised to witness the parade
of the Grand Army two wrk from to
morrow, leads officials In Washington to
believe he will remain here until that occa
sion has passed. Secretaries Moody and
Hitchcock and Attorney General Knox are
the only cablnent officials In Washington
at this time. They were very much sur.
prised to bear of the Illness of the presi
dent. Both Mr. Moody and Mr. Hitchcock
said they had not heard anything from
Secretary Cortelyou.
London Press Already Comments.
LONDON, Sept, 24. The London news
papers this morning publish long and de
tailed reports of tbe operation on President
Roosevelt. They express considerable sur
prise at the unexpectedness of the opera
tion, as well as sympathy for tbe president,
although It Is believed to be a trifling
matter, and Secretary Cortelyou's state
ment Is readily accepted. Incidents of the
late President McKlnley's death are re
called and some anxiety Is expressed.

CUBA FORCING THE ISSUE
MetiTs Behiid the Requeit for Withdrawal
f Troops from the Islanl
IS PART OF A SHREWD DIPLOMATIC GAME
Dlatarbancea on tbe Island Indicate
Their Presence la Kecessary o
Make Good Guarantee of
lalted state,.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
WASHINGTON, Sept, 23. (Special Tele
gram.) Cuba's demand upon the I'nlted
States to withdraw our troops from the
Island Is taken here to mesn a determina
tion on the part of President Palma to
force the Issue as to whether this country
Is to maintain a quasi suzerainty over ths
Island or whether Cuba alone Is to direct
Its International and external government.
Within diplomatic lines this question has
been brewing ever since President Palma
was Inaugurated. The Cubans resent the
presence of American troops on the Island
and they have not been slow to make their
dissatisfaction known to the presidente and
his cabinet. But under tbe terms by which
Cuba acquired Its sovereignty, the United
States pledged the nations that good gov
ernment should be maintained and In con
sonance with that pledge It persists In
keeping troops on tbe Island, notwithstand
ing the desires ot the Cuban government.
The fact Is that already outbreaks have
occurred In Cuba, Indicating the willful lack
of a determination to guard against na
tional outbreaks and it has been thought
beat to keep the small force of American
troops now in Cuba -at their several posts.
There are but 800 troops all told In Cuba,
a mere bagatelle should an uprising oc
cur, but as our nation stands pledged to
preserve law and order in Its next door
neighbor, it will be interesting to watch the
next move on the checker board.
Second Lieutenant ' Frank k. Perry, ar
tillery corps, has been relieved from re
cruiting duty at Dea . Moines and ordered
to Dubuque to take charge of the recruit
ing station at that, place, relieving Major
Robert F. Ames, Eighteenth' Infantry.
Major Ames is granted three months leave.

GOES TO GERMANY.
Particular Travelers Demand tbe Ir

"I had drank coffee since babyhood, and
although I was very nervous and dyspeptic.
I could not and would not believe that
coffee bad anything to do with It," writes
an American lady now living In Munich
Germany.
"My physician finally convinced me that
oofCee was at tbe bottom of all my troubles,
and I tried msny things to take Its place
but nothing satisfied tbe craving for real
coffee. At last, one day In a half-hearted
despairing mood, I bought from the grocer
some Poetum Food Coffee. My grown-up
daughter, who by the way had inherited my
taste for coffee and also my nervousness
laughed and said, 'Don't you know that
nothing can take the place ot well made
coffee, half Java and halt Mocha, with
plenty ot rich cream?'
'I firmly believe it I replied, 'but a
drowning man will grasp at a straw, and
I am getting more nervous every day, and
can hardly eat anything at all. and Dr. &..
like the reat ot'tbe physicians, tells me It
all comes from coffee.'
"So next morning I personally msde a
pot of Postum, following closely the dl
ret-tlons and such a surprise! Tbe color
was a rich, tlark, winey brown, and
pleasant aroma greeted tbe nostrils. But
ths taste the crucial test! I confess
feared to put It to that test for fear of
another disappointment.
"But not so with my daughter, who
eagerly made the trial and fairly shouted
'Hurrah! Mamma, you have found It at last.'
I tried It and that ended our coffee drinking
for good. Ths Savor was full and rich and
left nothing to be desired- .
"In a short time, my dysppsia disappeared
and as for nerves, my daughter and myself
almost forgot that , such things existed.
until wa cams to Germany and I had to go
back to coffee and we are again aa nervous

MITCHELL IS NOT PLEASED
labor Leader o atlsed with tbe
Action of tbe trlkln
Miners.
WILKESBARRK. Pa.. Sept. 23 -Presl-
dent Mitchell declined to make any com
ment today on the action of Sheriff Schadt
of Lackawanna county, in calling on Gov
ernor Stone for troops. It Is known, how
ever, that he is displeased with tbe strik
ers for pursuing a course which prompted
the sheriff to make the appeal to the
governor. Only a week ego President
Mitchell counseled all his followers to
keep the peace. Some of his advisers say
the calling ot the militia to do duty In
Lackawanna region will have no effect on
the strike.
National Board Member Fallon thinks
stationing soldiers In Lackawanna county
may be the means of suppressing marches,
picketing and other demonstrations, but It
will not give the operators any other ad
vantage. On the other hand, the operators
feel confident that the continued outbreaks
of ' violence means growing discontent
among the strikers and that under the
protection of the military arm of the
state the men wilt gradually return to
work.
Sheriff Jacobs of Luserne county hat not
yet asked Governor Stone for troops, but
conditions are growing worse. Some non
union miners were stoned at Warrior Run
and the sheriff hsd to send two squads of
deputies to the place. All Is now reported
quiet at the scene of the disturbance.
TAMAQUA, Pa., Sept. 23. Strikers'
pickets patrolled the Tanther creek col
liery today in an effort to prevent non
union met from going to work, but no
violence is repotted.
The collieries are working as usual and
tbe operators report few gains. Those in
a position to know say that it a break
occurs in tbe strikers' ranks here It will
be due to the small amount ot relief, being
distributed. It is claimed that $2 a week
is the largest amount a married striker
can secure In sub-dlstrlct No. 1.
Throughout the Mahoning and Shenandoah
regions quiet Is reported.
LEBANON, Pa.. Sept. 23. This city was
in a state of excitement all night. Thera
was firing of pistols for hours '.a tbe vi
cinity of the American Iron and Steel
works, where a strike Is In progress.
The colored men who had Just arrived
at the works were terrified, as were the
colored citizens in the vicinity. "r About
midnight William Hoffman, aged 17, was
shot and he died In the hospital today.
He was a messenger In the 'office of the
American Iron and Steel company and had
attended an entertainment in the opera
house. On his way home he was struck by
a bullet. Today the plant is surrounded
by a threatening crowd.
The streets are filled with excited people
this afternoon and the plant ot the Ameri
can Iron and Steel company is under guard.
There Is a most resentful feeling against
the colored iron workers brought here from
the south. Today a Lebanon citizen re
ceived a flesh wound In his arm from a bul
let fired by an unknown person.
SHENANDOAH. Pa., Sept. 23. General
Gobln left here at noon for Scranton. Be
fore going the general said the troops in
the field would probably be changed about,
but Just what disposition would be made
of them he will not know until he looks Into
the situation in Lackawanna county. It Is
likely, however, that the Eighth regiment
will be taken away from here and succeeded
by the Thirteenth or the Fourth.

on board, arrived at the Grand Central

of 400 or S0O at the. station when tbe train

Preparations for taking care of Young
and keeping the crowd from surrounding
him had been, made and when the train
wait' stopped Ihe passengers were told to
keep their seats ror a few minutes. Then
Young, who was' in the smoking car, was
taken off first. He was led to a closed csr
riage and, accompanied by Detective Ser
geants Hughes and Flndley and Mr. Hart,
the prisoner's counsel, who came from
Derby with the party, was driven to police
headquarters. The prisoner, handcuffed to
Flndley, was led through a large crowd
that had gathered to see him. The pris
oner was In a condition bordering on col
lapse when led up the steps into headquar
ters. Shortly ' after Young had been In the de
tective headquarters Lawyer Hart appeared
and said In reply to Inquiries: "This man
is Innocent and was "not even an accom
plice." Makes Remarkable Statement.

statement:
About three weeks sgo I met n man
named f'har'es Ktmson Filing In Central
park. He accosted me. We talked and
got acquainted, though he v.-as a degene
rate. After that he called on me several
times ut my flat.
On the night Mrs. Pulltser died Fling
and 1 met ner at Broadway end rorty
stxth streets by appointment I had made.
We went to the flat togetn?r. I went
out for some whisky after we got there
nnd left Filing and the woman alone.
When I got back I found Mrs. Pulltser
yng aerone the bed with a gag in her
mouth. Filing had gone.
I ripped open her clothing and moved
her hitnds back and torth over her head
to Induce respiration. : When she did not
breathe. I put my hand under her waist
and felt her heart. it was not beating.
Then I decided to notify the police, but
thought that Instead of calling a police
man I ' would go to headquarters, which
I thought were In the illy hall.
I got on a train and started down town
and on the way got to thinking what a
lot tif dlograce the affair would bring upon
me and my father. That made ine decide
to get rid of the body.
I took a long knife and cut Into the body,
Intending to cut the body up so that I
could get It into a trunk. When I made
the first cut the ftdor was so awful that I
could go no further.

When Captain Titus had finished speak
ing Assistant District Attorney Garvan
said:
'Captain Titus has said that this man
made practically the same statement to
his counsel. That Is not so. The cap
tain is mistaken. We don't know what be
told his counsel."
Captain Titus then said: "That Is all of
the statement he made. He volunteered
all of that. Knowing that his rights are
telng protected, we cannot question blm
now." Captain Titus said tbat young had
