Roosevelt Determined to Take Care
of the Pension Commissioner.
Washington, March 18. There is
no longer any doubt that Pension
Commissioner Evans will, within the
next few months at the latest, sever
his connection with the pension bu
reau, to accept from the president a
position which will be a substantial
promotion, but which is not yet defi
nitely selected. It is well known that
Mr. Evans has had the entire confi
dence of the president and the latter
will not consider the question of his
retirement until a position entlrely
satlsfactory to the commissioner has
been provided. No decision has been
reached concerning the successor of
Mr. Evans nor will any action be tak
en until the president lSf thoroughly
convinced that he ras found u iu.ui
of the same hlghcharacter" and sterl
ing, worth possessed by the present
commissioner In so high a degree.

Emperor Meets Prince.
Brunstubble. Prussia, March 18.
."Emperor Wilhelm left this morning
on board the battleship Wilhelm Sec
ond, , id ineet Princo. Hoary at Cuxha-
,ven, .where the steamer, Deutschland
is expected to arrive at 7 o'clock to
night. ' " " ..
Lieutenant-General Nelson A.
Miles, made a specific request at the
war department to be sent to- the
Philippines, and in connection there
with submitted a plan by which, in
his opinion, the war could be brought
to an end without further loss of life
on either side. He proposed to em
ploy means similar to those used by
him so successfully in his Indian cam.
paigns. Secretary Root, after due
consideration, denied General Miles'
request and disapproved the plans
submitted. The papers so endorsed
by the secretary were sent to the
White House, and the president sub
sequently concurred in the secretary's
action. The final Indorsement, dis
posing of the matter, is to bear date
of March 5, 1902.
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 a
change of policy In dealing with the
inhabitants of the archipelago, would
be unfair to those officers, military
and civil, whose work has brought
about the almost complete pacification.
