Heads of two Latin-American states received visits from President Roosevelt as he toured the American possessions in the Atlantic and Pacific. The cruiser Houston stopped at Cartagena, Colom- bia, to enable him to see President Herrera who is shown with his palace below. The visit he made on President Arlas of Panama, shown at top with his palace, returned the courtesy of a call the latter made at the White House last winter.
