COURSE OF THE TRANSPORTS

Washington, June 15.-Although Tampa
dispatches said that the transport feet
was going to double Cape Anthony, the
western extremity of Cuba. in proceed
ing 70 Santiago. the naval officers do not
believe that is the case, for the reason
that the western route is fully 200 miles
longer than the route by way OF Cape
Maysi and in addition the transports
would have to fight the gulf stream I'M
til the had got clear around Cape An
tonic. On the eastern course the ships
would have the full benefit OF the favor

JAPAN NOT LANO-HUNGRY

Washington, June 1.-THE Japanese
minister, Mr. Toru Hoshi, was seen at the
Japanese legation today. and talked in an
informal way between cigar puffs on some
of the recent phases of the war as they
relate to the interests fthe United States
and Japan.
Mr.. Hoshi expressed special regret at
the recent action of congress in placing
a. duty of 10 cents per pound on tea.
The effect of the law, he says Will be
comparatively small against other coun-
tries as compared with that against Japan
whose trade, being in cheap teas, would
be badly hurt by uniform tea duty.
While Hr. Hoshri does not question the
right of the United States to make It's
own scheme of internal taxation he thinks
a large tea duty was not expedient at this
time when the United States is embarked
on large enterprises nthe far east ia
nan and the United States are on very
Intimate terms. and Mr.. Hoshi feels that

WHY HE MARINES HANG ON

Washington, June 15-With General
Skaters expedition on the way to San
tiago and the military branch busiIy en-
gagged in preparing the expedition to be
sent against Porto Rico, there is now
nothing to do for the navy but to wait
patiently until the troops arrive at San
tiago. So far, only one report has come
from Sampson telling Of engagements be-
tween the marines at Great Heights and
the Spanish troops in the chapparal, and
no mention has yet been made officially of
any Of the subsequent night attacks upon
the marines. In his dispatch of Monday
night Admiral Sampson spoke of the first
affair as an attack upon the American
outposts and the naval officers here feel
because he made no further report, that
the subsequent engagements described by
the pres correspondents have been of
the same character. II is realized at the
department that the situation of the ma
rines is very uncomfortable one. suffer-
ing as they are from harassing night at
lacks that prevent them from securing
much NEEDED rest, and unable because of
the character of the country and the
nature of the tactics adopted by the en-
envy, 10 get fair chance at them. How
ever, the department is assured that there
is no real danger in the situation, be
cause if seriously threatened by an over
whelming force the marines with very
short notice can retire aboard the Amer
lean warships, where they would be in
perfect safety. II is mainly sentiment,
embodied in determination to keep the
American flag flying over the place where
it was first planted and thus retaining
for the navy the glory OF obtaining the
first position on shore. that keeps the ma
rines encamped on the bank of the Bay of
Guantanamo It Is true, however that
an important secondary purpose will be
served by their presence, as the place will
afford proper cable station when the
French cable between Hayti and Santiago
is spiiced. It is possible TO operate a
cable from a ship in the harbor, but The
communication in such case is precarious
and undesirable. Word has come to the
navy department that the St. Paul has left
Cape Haytien with operators AMI instru-
ments for the cable and Il vii noc be sur
prising If Sampson opens direct communi-
cations with the United States via Hayti
at almost any moment. What threatened

operation Of the cable under such condi-
tons have been removed and it is said
that the French cable company owning
the line has been most obHging in acceding
TO the request of our government.

90 the war tax put upon many articles
which the drawback would benefit. And
this point was emphasized by the fact
that the drawback provision would not
detract from the revenue. At present all.
or virtually all, the alcohol used in ex-
ported American goods. is first imported
under a stG duty Of $4-23 a gallon. and
this duty is rebated, when the goods are
exported, which leaves the government no
revenue If this imported and re-exported
alcohol could be supplanted by 4Rnerican
alcohol, on which the internal tax is 500
gallon. and that tax could be related

either case. But the difference wou.-- be

would be due 20 two facts:

GERMAN STRENGTH AT MANILA

London, June 1.-THE Star today re-
iterates the story that Emperor William
Of Germany has ordered the German con-
sui at Manila to oppose the debarkauon
of American troops unless in sufficient
force to maintain order and protect the
Germans. The Star adds that a notifica-
ton to this effect has been officially given
to the United States embassy at Berlin
and to Secretary Day at Washington.
Admiral Dietrichs. according TO the Star
has 2,40O troops and he could disembark
1.500 with two batteries of artillery, for
the partial occupation of Manila.
Continuing. the Star says: Germany is
not likely to have taken such grave
step without securing the adhesion of
other powers interested in the far east,
namely, Russia, Japan and England.
They art certainly hostile 10 Germany's
project, but is not thought likely that they
would raise objections and we may soon
have very important news from Manila ."
