1t looks now as though Secretary Of
War Root would arrive here early this
week for an important conference with
the president upon the policy of the ad
ministration in regard to the Philippines.
The story that the president and Secre
taIy Boot do not agree upon the policy
TO be pursued at Manila is said 10 be
without foundation, and on thdt,ontrary
they are both said to belleve that the war
in the Philippines must be ended with
the least possible delay. After the con-
ference with President Mckinley Sec
rotary Root win probably announce the
