WANT CAPT. BRApFoRD AT ONCE.
Peace Commissioners Cable for Him
to Proceed 10 Paris.

to Proceed 10 Paris.
Washington, Sept. 26.-The first word
that has come to Washington from the
American peace commission since their
departure, save a brief announcement OF
arrival In England, was received at the
navy department to-day being a cable
gram requesting that Capt. Bradford.
chief Of the experiment bureau, be sent
at once to Paris to assist the commission.
AS the officer is the leading expert OF
the navy department in the matter Of
coaling stations, ocean routes of communl-
cation and strategic points, the inference
is that the commission expects to begin
promptly the consideration of those sub
iects, so far as they relate to the Philip
pines ana the Ladrones. Respecting the
latter group from which the United
States commissioners are to make a selec-
ton for a coaling station, 1t has been
found that the only good harbor is on the
Island of Guam, the capital of the group.
which was captured BY one of the war
ships bound for Manila, yet If that is
taken, there will BE- SO little of the group
thus left without harbor that IL Is believed
that II would be best for both parties-the
United States ana spain--to aiow all the
Islands to go with Guam intN United
States possession.

it fears that difficulties will arise over the
discussion of questions other than that of
armament. which might accentuate in
the very heart of the very projected con-

The government suggests that the Czar
eliminate this possibility by formulating
a definite programme limiting the discus
