TO THE LADRONES.
Reported That the Charleston
Will Seize the Islands En-
Route.

San Francisco, June 10.-The Evening
Post says that the cruiser Charleston
will not go to the Philippine islands
Immediately but that her destination
is the island of Guahan, in the Ladrone
group, which are controlled by the
Spanish and which are about 500 miles
from Manila and $500 miles from Hon
olulu. The chief city of Guahan is ex-
ceedingIy we'll fortified for such small
place and affords one of the best har-
bOrs and coaling stations in the Pacific
About six months ago the Notifications
were strengthened by the Spanish to
present a formidable resistance in case
of attack
The Post says that the United States
will seize the group and use the island
of Guahan for Pacific cOaling station
in addition to any others she may select
in the future. The Charleston, the Post
continues, was ordered to wait at Hon
olulu for the first fleet of transports
that left this city and to take the ships
to the Ladrones. It is asserted that
the artillery which went on the Picking
was really intended to garrison the
forts at Guahan and that after quiet
is restored and the islands are under
control of the United States that the
Charleston will, with the transports, go
to Manila. 1t is said that the MOnad-
mock will not stay at Honolulu but will

The suit is to compel the Atchfsen,

showing the mileage of the entire line
and all the property of the company.
ined upon by the board of railway as
SCISSORS can not be put in force. The
plan is to assess the rolling stock of the
roads on the basis of the mileage in
the various states through which the

The suit is a friendly one to test the
law of 1883 which provides that a list of
all the property must be filed with the

FEAR HIGH WATER.
Heavy Rains Delay Atchison Branch
Trafic-Danger at Kansas City:

The Atchison line of the Santa Fe suf-
fered by recent rains. Several hundred
feet of track were washed out at Valley
Falls. Trains were delayed yesterday
while the track was repaired and the pas
senger train did not arrive in Topeka until
noon.
The heavy rains have continued until
the outlook is bad for the railroads. All
over this part of the country the roads
follow rivers and run through low places,
and fears that the track will suffer are
entertained by railroad men.
The Missouri river at Kansas City is
reported to be higher than the Kansas
river and the water is backing up into
the Kansas. Should this keep on the rail-
roads in the bottoms will suffer severely.

STORING COAL.
British Government is Piling Tt Up on
Pacific Coast.

San Francisco, June 1O.-A special
from Victoria, B. c., says: The Brit
ish government following out the policy
adopted in connection with it's big
naval stations, is about to store an i'm
mense supply of Cardiff coal, the best
steam engine coal produced, at the
Esquimault dock yard. Already five
ships are on the way with about 5000
tons each. But this is only a small
amount compared with what is to fol-
low.
Arrangements are being made for the
reception of 100000 tons of this coal at
Esquimault, but it is expected that
this amount will not arrive for some
time, although 25, 900 tons will probably
be on hand before the close of the pres
Rnt war.
