MILES PLAN TO
 STOP WAR REFUSED
SUBMITTED A PROPOSITION TO
 SECURE PEACE IN PHILIPPINES WITHOUT FURTHER LOSS OF LIFE AND WAS TURNED DOWN.

Washington. March 16.--The Post to- morrow will say:
 "Lieut. Gen. Leonard Miles of the army has made a specific request to the War Department to be sent to the Philippine Islands, and in connection herewith sub- mitted a plan by which, in his opinion, the war could be brought to an end without further loss of life to either side. He proposed to employ methods similar to those used by him so successfully in his Indian campaigns. Secretary Root. after due consideration. denied General Miles request and disapproved the plan submitted. The papers so indorsed by the secretary were sent to the White House and the President subsequently, concurred in the secretary's attitude.
 Final indorsement disposlng of the mat ter is asid to bear date of March 5, 1902. In effect President Roosevelt and Secre- tary Root hold that the war in the Phil ippines 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 the archipelago. would beu nfair to the off archipelago, would be unfair to the offi- brought about almost complete pacifica- tiOn.

OVERTURNED LAMP
 BURNS GIRL SCHOOL
ALL OF THE STUDENTS HAD AM. PILE WARNING AND ESCAPED WITHOUT INJURY-oNE OF THE DoRMlToRlEs DESTROYED.


 Philadelphia, March 1e.-One of tn, dormitory buildings of Bryn Mawr Col lege, an institution for the higher edu. cation of young ladies, was burned to- night
 The colelge is located at Bryn Mawr, about ten miles from this city. The fire was caused by the upsetting of lamp in the room of one of the students It got beyond the control of the local firemen and fire companies were sent from Phil adelphia late tonight.
 No one was injured.
 The burned building was known as Denbig Hall and had accommodations for two hundred students The fire started on the second floor in the western end of the structure When the fire was discovered by the young woman in whose apartment the lamp was overturned, she immediately rang the fire alarm and started to fight the flames. The alarm aroused all the young women in the build ing, most of whom were asleep, and they safely made their exit. Those who occu- pied the first and second floors managed to save some of their effects but those oc- cupying the third floor saved nothing. Fortunately the fire was confined to the building in which it originated.
 The loss on the contents of the build- ing Is estimated at $35. 900 not including the personal effects of the students.
