Detroit, Mich., Sept. 22.—'The blue and gray uniforms of the Spanish war veterans, whose third annual reunion is being made memorable and histor ical by the presence of President Theo dore Roosevelt, is seen at every turn in Detroit today. Additional dele gates and veterans who have come to attend the reunion are arriving on every train. The opportunity to see and cheer the president has brought to Detroit today thousands of people from nearby cities and towns. The second day of the president’s visit here dawned warm and pleasant. President Roosevelt arose at 7:45 o’clock this morning after a refresh ing night’s sleep, which was interrupt ed only once. About 2 o’clock this morning an enthusiastic delegation of veterans arrived from Saginaw and Bay City. Headed by a band they marched to the hotel Cadillac and ser enaded the president. He did not arise, however. The president was joined by a small party of friends for breakfast, which was eaten in the Hemish room at the Cadillac. Convention Hall Crowded. The delegates began gathering in the Light Guard armory, the conven tion hall, soon after 9 o’clock. When Acting Commander-in-chief Urell called the delegates to order the floor of the armory was crowded with uni formed, soldierly looking men. The galleries were packed with men and women, who had come to hear Presi dent Roosevelt's address to the veter ans. The armory was beautifully decorated. A background of maple trees formed a canopy over the plat form from which the speaker ad dressed the assemblage. Hung from the center of the green canopy was a large flag-draped picture of President Roosevelt. The front of the platTorm was entirely hidden by great masses of golden rod. Festoons of greenery hung from the trusses of the big hail and suspended from the center truss was a great eagle with outspread wings made from greenery. Large white curtains hung from the galler ies’ edge to the main floor and these were covered with small maple branch es, giving a very pretty effect from the convention floor Air Rang With Cheers. President Roosevelt was given a tre mendous ovation when he stepped out of the Cadillac and into his carriage to drive to the armory. Washington and Michigan avenues were jammed with people who made the air ring with their voices as the president drove briskly away from the hotel in the same carriage used on his drive yesterday afternoon. A squad of mounted polics rode before his carriage and a squad of officers on bicycles cincled about It. A stir at the door announced to those in the armory that the president had arrived. All stood upon their feet and as the presidential party entered he walked down the main aisle to the speakers’ platform, a great shoot went up that made the ar mory ring. Again and again the vet erans cheered the president, and he bowed his thanks repeatedly. Nor were the people in the galleries behind in their applause. It was many min utes before quiet was restored. Mayor Welcomes Veterans. When quiet had been restored and the presidential party had found seats on the platform, General Urell, act ing commander-in-chief, introduced Mayor William C. Maybury, who elo quently welcomed the Spanish war veterans to the city. When he con cluded General Urell stepped forward and said, ae he turned to President Roosevelt: "I have nothing to say, Mr. Presi dent.” « Lvery man on the floor was on his feet cheering and waving his hat as the president arose from his chau*. oneer after cheer rent the air while President Roosevelt smilingly bowed his thanks to his former comrades. During the president’s address he was repeatedly applauded and when he finished and thanked the veterans a storm of applause broke forth which ended In three times three cheers. Adjutant General Dyer, of Washing- ton, D. C., responded to Mayor May- oury’s address of welcome, on behalf of the veterans. General Bliss then said he was to present a service medals to Michigan veterans of the Spanish war, when the convention adjourned, but that he wished first to present Comrade Teddy Roosevelt with one. He accordingly requested Mrs. Lewis, o the Ladies’ Auxiliary, to present the medal to the president. The pre- ientation was made amidst the great est enthusiasm. The convention then adjourned and the president and par ty left the armory. They drove Im mediately to the yacht Kalamazoo, which was boarded for a ride doyn tho river, returning in time for the prss- ident to review the parade of the vet erans and local military.
