Secretary of State Root notifies President Roosevelt that he is closing his visit to Peru, which completes his South American tour. Tomorrow he will head for Panama, and then to Cartagena for a business interview with President Rafael Reyes. Root also informs Roosevelt that he is too tired to do the San Francisco trip after two months of almost continuous speech making. Root may also be able to help with the situation in Cuba, if he is at home.
