Beaches Closed as Oil Spreads in San Juan
Oil from the Ocean Eagle slick closed five San Juan hotels beaches while others west of the spill remained cleaner. Tourists left for the day as the Liberian tanker split on a reef near San Juan Bay carrying six million gallons of oil. Puerto Rico tourism chief Piniero said beaches sullied by oil could be partially cleaned by removing an inch of sand. Marine biologists warned a long term pollution problem, with slick covering about 10 miles of water by Monday. Three tugboats failed to move the bow.

Officials warn costs could rise with troop increases, possibly triggering higher taxes. Treasury Secretary Fowler and House Ways and Means chairman Mills indicate renewed interest, though no final action has occurred in Congress.
