ROOSEVELT ACCEPTS MOMBASA INVITATION

Natives Flocking to Coast to See “Great White Chief.” Mombasa, British East Africa, April 20.—A cablegram has been received here from Theodore Roosevelt changing his original plan not to stop in Mombasa on his way to the ranch of Sir Alfred Pease on the Athi river. He has accepted the invitation to dinner extended by the Mombasa club, and will stay two days on the coast before going up country. Natives are coming in to Mombasa from all parts of the country to witness the disembarkation of "the great white chief.”
