DYNAMITE OUTRAGE.

SPEECH BY PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT. Received May 12, 9.40 p.m. NEW YORK, May 12. President Roosevelt laid at Washington the corner stone of a building intended to be the House Bureau of the American Republics. There was a vast assemblage. President Roosevelt, Mr Elihu Hoot, Secretary of State, and Mr A. Carnegie, delivered speeches. Communications were received from all the Presidents of the American Republics. The building cost one million dollars, Mr Carnegie contributing three fourths of this amount. President Roosevelt remarked that although during the last century development had proceeded faster in North America than in the south, he believed that dunng the present century not a part of the world would see such extraordinary development in wealth, population and progress as Mexico, Central America and South America. The people of the United States regarded with profound satisfaction the great growth that had already taken place there in political stability and material well-being. Mr Root's recent tour was intended to show that the citizens of the United States recognised that their interests were more closely intertwined with those of the other Republics of the American continent than with other nations.
