LONDON TIMES, OPINION.
America May be Compelled to Perma-
 nentIy Occupy Cuba.

London, Aug. 20.-The Time this morning says editorially that it forsees circumstances which may compel the United States to a permanent ,ccupa- tion of Cuba and adds: If America is prepared to undertake the responsibili- ty of the government of the whole of the Philippine group it is hard to see how any other power could legitimately interfere. If the United States 1epu- diates such responsibility a. very peril ous state of things might ensue, be- cause it would not be easy to dispute the right of other powers to terminate the state of anarchy. Therefore many difficulties will be avoided by America n annexation. In any case no European power need reckon upon linding the United States as easy to coerce as Japan"

SENATOR BACON ON EXPANSION.
America Should Hold Good Sized "Rest-

America Should Hold Good Sized aRest-
 ing P1ace'' in Philippines.
 Washington, Aug. 19.-Senator Bacon of Georgia was in Washington to-day and called on the president and was 'af- terward at the war department. He was looking after the interests of Geor- gia troops who do not want to be mus tered out and prefer to go to Cuba. Sen ator Bacon does not believe in the re- tention of the Philippines, but says the United States ought to hold a good sized resting place." not merely a coal ing station, but enough territory to meet all needs in the future. He does not think the United States ought to assume the management of vast pop ulation which it will be difficult to gov ern and to acquire islands which it would be impossible to defend. Senator Bacon says that in Cuba and Porto Ri- co we have problems enough now, but thinks that they will work out in a sat isfactory manner. He says that it is unfortunate that the Cubans come un- der our direct view at the worst possi- ble time for them. Eighteen months ago he thinks they would have made a very much better appearance, for since that time they have undergone great hardships and been unable to procure either food or clothing; hence the con- dition in which they were found by our troops at Santiago. Senator Bacon be- lieves that when the insurgents fully understand the purposes and benefcent ,feoo+e of TTpifaH States intervention a II difficulties will be adjusted.

BRITISH WAR PREPARATIONS
70. .1e3 TONS OF CO1L BOUGHT IN
 THIS COUNTRY.

These Have Gone to Eleven Different
 Coaling Stations Belonging to Eng
 England Was Stocking Such Stations
 i'm Event of Possible War.
 Norfolk, Va, Aug. 19-There has been shipped from Norfolk in British bottoms, seventeen cargoes of Pocahon- tas steam coal, aggregating 70123 tons. These have gone to eleven different coaling stations belonging to England, and it has been believed that England was stocking such stations in event of possible war.
 To-day it leaked out that this view is undoubtedly correct, as the Pocahontas Coal company is asserted by one of it's employees to have practically admitted that an unlimited contract from the British government for coaling her stations all over the world has been se- cured. And the work has just fairly commenced.
 The stations to which cargoes have thus far been sent are Montevideo, Uruguay, St. Michaers in the Azores, { Kingston, Jamaica, Singapore, India, Cape Town, Africa, St. Vincent and Porto Praya, Cape de Verdes, St. Lucia, B. w. l., Buenos Ayres, Argentine Re- public, St. Paul de Loande, Africa, and London.

WAITING MERRI11,S REPORT.
List of Casualties at Manila Not Net
 ReCetVeG.

Washington, Aug. 19.-The authori- ties are still waiting for General Mer- ritt's report on the list of casualties and the state, war and navy departments interested in knowing the exact terms on which Manila was surrendered whether the city alone, or if all the Philippines were included. It was stat ed by officials that nothing additional on this point had been received up to the close of office hours to-day. The efforts to restore the Manila cable con- tinue, but they have not proved success cessful thus far. The claims made in Madrid that the protocol and not the equalization, controls the status of af- fairs in the Philippines, will not be dis cussed by state department officials
 The Madrid discussion is looked upon as rather academic as it is taken for granted that claims will be made on both sides, and that the Paris tribunal will be the final arbiter of the case.

WOLFF, THE GERMIN EXPLORER. Posed as n German Authority in China
 sna


 Berlin, Aug. 19.-Herr Eugen s. Wolff, the well known German explorer, who has just returned from China, where he acted as correspondent of the Tage- blatt is being prosecuted upon charge of having, without authority, assumed the role of judge and with having llb- erated thirteen Chinese murderers of German missionaries. According to the evidence of Bishop Anger, on which the prosecution is based, Herr Wolff, having heard of the trial appeared in court with dog named Schuster. Four vacant chairs stood Tn the hall in which the trial was to be held Wolff, seated himself in the most imposing of these saying: "rlI~~take the highest and you, Herr Schuster Addressing the dog) will take the second highest, at my right"
 He then ordered the clerk of the court into the next chair on his right and, lastly, with gesture, bade the won dering mandarin to take the fourth and lowest chair. The mandarin ques- tioned Wolff's authority, whereupon the latter drew a roll of papers from his pocket and fiourished it as his authority; and the prisoners being in- troduced and declaring their innocence, Herr Wolff solemnly acquitted them and declared the proceedings ended He then saddled his horse and depart ed. The story causes the utmost aston ishment. Bishop Amer was iii Ger many at the time of the alleged occur renee consulting the government in re- gard to the murders, which ultimately led to the occupation of Kiao Chou, and only learned of what had happened on returning to China. It appears that Herr Wolff often posed in China as German envoy.
