is AFTER CEBU ISLAND.
Germany Said to BE Ready TO Seize
One of the Philippines for Its
Coal Deposits.

New York, Sept. 2o.-A special to
the Herald from Washington says:
AS an indication that Germany has
been scheming to share in the dis.
position of the Philippines, the au.
thorities have heard that, acting un
der instructions from Berlin, the Ger
man commander in chief of the Ash
attic station has made an exhaustive
investigation of the coal deposits OF
the islands.
He was assisted by o German en-,
gineer who has been temporarily as
signed to his squadron for the spe-
cial purpose of locating coal.
That engineer conducted thor.
ough Investigation, and his report
which has been submitted TO the Ber-
lin government through Vice Admiral
Won Diedrich, shows that the best
Ignite deposits are located on the
island of Cebu, one of the Visayas
group.
Aware of Germany's proceedings,
the authorities are taking precautions
to prevent the consumma ton of any
new plan which will enable them 10
reach fruition. The Berlin govern
ment, by the reduction of its fleet in
Manila bay, gave an indication of its
