The HARMON or pAGU-pdGO.
Great Britnin's Right to ConIing station
Not Conceded by Secretary Foster.

WASHINGTON. Aug. lO-The widely circu-
lated reports representing the State Depart
mont as holding the opinion that the English
Government has any sort OF right to establish
coaing station at Paeo- Pago harbor are en-
tirely Inaccurate On the contrary. 1t Is I'M
derstood that Secretary Foster has never made
statement that could be properly construed
as recognizing in any way England's claims
to harbor rights ut that point. In the treaty
between tho United States and Samoa there Is
no express provision prohibiting the joint oc-
cupancy Of the harbor. but the statement that
there shall be no interference in the rights
granted to the United States is construed by
the State Department officials to mean that
II the establishment OF n coaling station by the
English Government should he deemed to be
detrimental to the interests OF the United
States. this Government would have tho un;
