ROOSEVELT MAKES TRIP TO NEW YORK Chief Exeoutive Attends Iu. neral of His Unole. VAST CROWDS LINED. SREETa.

Con -missioner Greene -and a -force of police met the president and a mounted de tail escortel his cirriage fron the Twenty-third street ferry to his sister's home on Madison avenue. Ater breakfasting at the tobin son home the president left the house and went to the late residence of Mr. dracic on IDast Firty-pighth street, re Maining there un-til time to go to the Church of the Holy Conmunion for the funeral services. At the head of the cortege were car riages containing the pallbearers. Then came a carriage containing the pros idont and Mrs. Roosevelt, with them in the carriage was a central office de tective and ieveral secret service men and a secret service man rode on the meat with the driver. The hearse fol lowed, with carriages containing the other mournears. Policemen were lined along the route at frequent intervals. The Same cordon of mounted police escorted the president' that had been detailed for the rido from the ferry. The police arrangements for the pro teotion of the presiden-t and to restrain the large crowd, more than 300 po licomon were around the -block in wIlich the church is loon-ted. On the west side of Sixth avenue near the church, there was a solid line of patrolmen standing shoulder to shoukier for a block and on the eaet side a.dotail of men. Around the en tire block patrolmen were placed at frequenit Intervfs, shutting off all traifle from fifth avenue to Sixth av enue on Twentieth and Twenty-first streets.

No one was allowed in .the middle of the streets. - Thio president, with Mrs. Roosevelt, alighted from their carriages and went quickly into the church. There was little excitement, the occasion barring any demonstration. The crowd by the time the 'cortege reached the church was so dense that ingress or egress on the avenue was practically impossible. Just prior to the arrival of the cortoge a polico inspector no ticed a man standing op the structure leaning over the first railing, directly opposite the entrance of the church. The man was ordered away after he had returned an insolen-t answer to the inspector's question and departed. 'Wlle the man wao presumably a cu riosity seeor who merely wished to got a vantage point to see the presi dent, the crowd impressed by the elab orate police preparations, loolked on the incident as a possible plot against the president, but there was no further disturbances.

Panama,' Nov. 27.-A Ante: 9au traveling m.,n. who has just arrived here from Buena Ventura on the steani er Manavi after a stay of 20 days to the department of Cauca, reports that the ieeling of pnrest in Oauca and An. olaquia continues, and -that the seces sion movement there has the support of many prominent men, including a number of high officials. An outbreak was recently started in Cali, the bust ness center of the Canuca department, but the auohoritios quickly suppressed it and arrested the ringleaders who suffered no harm, probably because of the sympathles of the officials with the movement. The secession movement, this man says, le serious, but it is impossible to foretell what will be done or when any step will be undertaken. He also says there to no evidence of any warlike or any aggressive move Ments against Panama. There is plen. ty of threatening talk, but nonction. The Americans at Cali have not been molested. The authorities at Buena Ventura, the traveler says, .were in clined to be annoying when he left there, but nothing serious had hap pened. The discontent in Cauca and Antioqua results from the same causes khat led to the movement for indepen dence on the isthmus. COFFINS TORN FROM GRAVES. ByRush of Flood that Submerged St. Petorsburg.

With tie telegram came requests for a physician and a priest. Uhief of 11olice Sheehan, of Miller Station, in his telegram reported thai he had no reason to doubt that the men surrounded were the accomplices of Gustav Marx, the self-confessed bandit, who has been under arrest in Chiago for'several deays. The physician, a priest and 60-men wdre assembled and to get &he men to the station in time to cateb a spe cial Chief O'Neill had to press intc service the wagon of the Western Union Telegraph company.

Several volleys from rifles were sent iLto the dugout, but the bandits kopt tnde cover. It is thought that one Of the bandits was Injured. The injured policemen were taken to Miller Station. The bandits were surrounded after having been tracked across the sand dunes of Indiana along the lake shore. The place where they were trapped was a dugout or hunter's rude hut. Tracking of the bandits was done by a detail of Chicago detectives, not local Indiana officers, as at first supposed. Watched all night by the detectives the bandits today made a bold attempt to escape and shot two of the would. be captors, one seriously. The re pont of the shooting reached Chief DYNeill just as he was preparing tc iend out 14 detectives under Chief ichuettlor. The detail was instantly ncreased to 50 men, and they werc rushed to a special train. "Shoot to kill!" Chief O'Neill stern Ly ordered the 50 men to do do, and on the way to the Miller Station Assistant L-hief Schuettler repeated the order smphatically. Ohief of Police O'Neill this aifternoon received word from the Pennsylvania railroad that apparente the bandits tiad escaped from the posso at the dug Mt near Millers Station.

Understanding as to Corea Prolong4 fogotlaoions. Ot. Petersburg, Nov.. 27.-The. pro longation of the Russo-Japanese diego tation. -at Tokio, which Ihavo beew delayed by Viceroy AlexIef's :returo to Wt. Petersburg, is due to the inabli ity to reach an understandiing regard Ing Coresa. Tentative terms on the subject ol Manchuria have been settledN Japan recognizes Russia's dominant intereste and agrees not to place obstables in the way of the soluton of the problem lew. ' While still maintaining the ultimate recognition of her treaty rights open ports and the integrity of Chinese so. ciety; Japan. is content to leave these questions in abeyance so as not to emibarrass R.usia. In retuen Japan insists on the recognitions of her in fiuence in Gorea and the opening of Yongampho or other ports to foreign trade. Russia is willing to concede something but 9he opposes the open. tug of Yongampho, on account of its proximity to the mouth of the Yalu river on the groujid that it will threat en her interests and complicate her dif ficulties in Manchuria. Ruesla is doing. everything possible to bring the negotiations to a con clusions The chelf fear expressed Here is that th-e moral effect of the United States continuous pressure in connec tion with the open door policy will Japan to rashness. '110 attitude of the United States caused much nerv-oupness and some re sentient. The Bussian view is that no good reason exists why the United States shouhl become involved in - a quarrel at the instigation of Russia's enemies, when her interests, compara. tively insignifle-ant, are not yet invadi ed. It is pointed out that last winter and spring the Uhited States was aroused by the persistent declaration in the British and Japanese pres that Russia would never permit China to sign a commercial treaty, yet it was signed on. the date fixed. The sudden flasti of anger in China over the Rus sian re-occupation of Moukden be cause it is the old burial place of the ancestors of the present dynasty, is not considered grave, as Ohina's im potenture is recognized. Nevertheless all stops wi'l be taken to avoid a rup ture, as China's friendship is needed for the future. Despite -the conviction here that the crisis has passed for the winter, Rus sia is taking nothing for granted. T'hiree-quarters of her forces are massed In or moving to the Pacifle. A telegram from Port Arthur says Yuna-Shi-Kai, the governor of Chi Li province, is oxpectel fn the province of Moukden at the end of November to negotia-te with the Russiano. SORIOUS FIRE -PREVENTED.
