American public life, died at his
worli-famous country home at
Sagamore Hill, shortly after four

A complication of diseases, born
of an exploring expedition into the!
wilds of South America, is believed
to have been the cause of death.

ILL jTIRST AFTSIi AFRICAN TRIP.
The beginning of Mr. Roosevelt's in-j
. imposition came shortly after his re- j
turn from an exploring expedition, ex-j
pedition into the wilds of South Amer
ica, where he is believed to have con- j
tracted the peculiar malady which dial- j
lengi d the skill of American surgeons j
and physicians. i
About a year ago the former presi- j
dent went to Roosevelt hospital anri had
a series of operations performed, prin
cipally in the region of mastoid pro
cess, where a number of malignant I
ulcers had formed. After a long siege
the doctors stated that the condition
was corrected, but that they coulel not
suarantee a permanent cure.

president has suffered almost constantly
from one affection or another. At one
nme it was reported that the abscesses
had appeared iu both buttocks, and at
another time In the region of the kid
neys. It is believed that Mr. Roosevelt's
system was lilled with poison during the
South American expedition.
