San Juan, P. r., March 17.-Gover-
nor Hunt and his party. who have
been visiting coast towns Of the IT,
land. returned by automobile from
Guayama. The governor expressed
himself as delighted with his trip and
as being particularly gratifled with
the excellent spirit of the people and
the generous, enthusiastic reception
accorded the party. Everywhere the
party stopped, banquets, balls and
other entertainments were given in
their honor. The governor says he
did not see many idle persons. He
also says the crop of sugar in the
island is heavy and the coffee crop
satisfactory and that in another year
these crops will reach a normal con

tenant General Nelson A. Miles of the
army made specific request at the
war department to be sent to the Phil
ippines. and in connection Herewith,
submitted q plan by which, in his
opinion, the war could be brought to
az end without further loss of life on
either side. He proposed to employ
methods similar to those used by him
SO successfully in his Indian cam
paigns. Secretary Root, after due con-
sideration, denied General Miles re-
quest and disapproved the plans sub
mitted. In effect President Roosevelt
and Secretary Root hold that the war
in the Philippines is already at an end,
or virtually SO. and that the adoption
OF General Miles plan, involving .
change of policy in dealing with the
inhabitants of this archipelago, would
be unfair to those officials, military
and civil, whose work has brought
about almost complete pacification.

EFFECT OF STRIKE.
The Imperial Restaurant Closed Until
Miners Return to Work.

The second business place in Carbon
dale which the proprietor deemed pru-
dent to close during the continuation Of
the coal strike, shut it's doors yester-
day.
The Imperial restaurant in the Opera
house block, on North Main street, Of
which James Thompson, jr., is pro-
prietor. suspended business until after
the strike. The depression, which is felt
to some extent in every business, par
tcularly affected the patronage of Mr..
Thompson, as the majority of patrons
were young men who depend mostly on
the activity of mining operations. The
falling off of the patronage of this place
illustrates how far-reaching is the ef-
feet of the mine strike in this commune
ity. An important factor in the life of
the restaurant are the railroad men.
