WASHINGTON, Nov. 28 President
Roosevelt on his trip to and from Pan-
ama on the battleship Louislana mixed
freely with the officers and men, of
whom he speaks in the highest com-
mendation. He participated in the
chief petty officers’ mess and visited
the branch of the Army and Navy
union, which has au organization of
about AOfty members ou the Louisiana
and whose meeting place wns way
down In the hold of the ship. As the
ship wus passing Hatteras ou the way
bome the president had the engineer
department steam up, and for three
bours the vessel mmde a run of 184%
Kuots, which is half a kuot in excess
of the contract requirements.
On the homeward trip a vaudeville
entertainment was given by the men
Roosevelt. Tuis took place during the
early part of the voyage and was held
at night. The president and Mrs.
Roosevelt and the officers of the ship
were the guests of honor and occupied
the front seats, while the men were
scattered around in the conning tow-
ers, on the bridge aud other points of
vantage.
There was a programme of sixteen
selections made up of songs, sketches,
solos of various kinds and monologues.
Sunday as the vessel was nearing the
Virginia capes the president delivered
8 speech to the men assembled on
board the vessel in which he told them
what be bad experienced and gave
them some advice. His remarks were
as follows:
“Captain aud officers and enlisted
men of the Louisiana:
“I wish to thank you for as pleasant
and Interesting a trip as any president
bas ever had on land or sea, and a
profitable trip, too. Not ouly I do not
see how any president, but | do not
see how any good American can fall
to believe with all his heart In the
United States navy, can fall to do all
that in bim lies for the officers aud
men of that navy iu order that the
navy Itself may be bLrought to a con-
stantly increasing state of perfection
as a formidable fighting machine. This
is the third of our great ships on
which I have spent some time, the
other two being the West Virginia and
the Missourl. 1 am very proud of the
ships—I am even prouder of the men
aboard the ships,
“Captain, 1 want to thank the chief
petty officers’ wess and the Army and
Navy union. 1 want especially to thank
the engineers’ force for what they did
coming howe. I wanted to see myself
what the ship could do, and 1 wanted
them to let a link out of her, and it is
more than gratifylog that at the end of
& three weeks™ trip we should be able
tu do from & Lalf to three qnarters of
& kuot better than Ler coutract speed,
for we went over 18% knots. That
speaks well for the engines, and it
speaks even better for the engineers’
force. It is a good thing.
“There was another thing which 1
Bave seen which particularly interest
ed me, Mr. Osterhus, and that was
the drill lu loading the seven inch
guns. I did not suppose it would
be possible to load these great shells
with such extraordinary speed and
precision. 1 understand that I am not
to say suything as to the wetlods un-
til you have had a chisnce to ‘take the
tuck’ out of the other ships, so I shall
ouly say that It behooves the other
ships with seven Inch guos to look to
their laurels,
“One thing more I take this chance
to say. 1 have been astounded and
mortified at the attitude of certain of
our people ashore in declining to allow
Uncle Bam's men when they have their
uniforms ou to come into places of
fnmusement. Outside of Washington I
lave no control over those places of
amusement; In Washington I have, and
any place of amusement to which ad-
mission Is denled to reputable men
who are behaving themselves who
wear the uniform of the army or the
uavy will lose its license If it Is Iu my
power to cause the loss, and [ think
It is
“1 want to thank you for another
thing, the eutertalnment the other
night. It was first class, and as [ have
been with soldiers wyself and as |
have boys at boarding schools aud col-
lege it pleased me to see that there Is
80 much buman pature everywhere
and that there is always complaint
about something In the Commissary
department. As regards that particu.
lar complalot, to judge from the din-
ner I had with the enlisted men on the
Alissouri and the dinuer I had at the
chief petly officers’ mess bere, 1 am
afraid I cannot extend you much sym-
pathy.”
The first official callers the president
received upon resuming business
hronght _up the troublesome question
of the dismissal of the negro troops of
the Twenty-fifth infantry. They were
Charles Anderson, collector of Internal
revenue, New York, and BE. J. Scott,
private secretary for Booker T. Wash
lngton.
Anderson came as 8 representative
of
the president to do justice to the col
ored soldiers,
Both Anderson and Scott were rather
reticent regarding what occurred, but
it was apparent that they got very lit.
tle encouragement from the president.
Mr. Scott said he prescated to the
president a petition from Booker T.
Washington, in which a plex was made
for the dismissed soldiers.
It Is learned that the president stood
firmly Ly his last declaration. He Is
willing to take up the Individual cases
of the men If it ix shown that they
Were not responsibie for the troubles
that brought on the discharge onlered,
but he has no intention of rescinding
or evea modifying his order,
Scott and Anderson had a talk later
with Secretary Taft. It Is reported
that ou account of the very great pubs
lic Interest in the discharged soldiers
the president may issue a statewent
explaining further his attitude
A ieport says that the president be
lieves the people of Porto Rico are en-
titled to American citizenship and will
recommend that this be granted to

showed plainly the marks of the storm
Her deck was swept clean and her
sails were In tatters, Lut the sturdy

pounding it received.
Un Sunday the Gold Hunter was

Weather uutll afternoon, when the
wind breezed up from the northeast
while the vessel was four miles off

wind split the mainsail of the vessel
aud carried away the Jibs. Without

up rapidly, and the vessel was contin

combers. Mrs. McGuire was below at
the time the storm broke preparing
supper, but rushed up on deck and took
the wheel while ber husband und his
one man crew went to work to bend
oh a foresail so as to bring the vessel
up to the wind.
With the craft wallowing wildly in
trough of the sea, this task Wis most
dificult. One band was necessary to
