which would lead the Berlin government to
direct such an s;igaton-the desire TO
extend German jurisdiction over the is
land which has the largest beds of coal
best adapted for steaming purposes.
Such an island Is Cebu, reports of which
have been received showing that Ignite
Of good quality is found there in large
quantities. Germany would find Cebu eX
ceedingly valuable as a coaling station

ment Of a coal pile at Kiao Chou, which she
recently obtained.
Aware of Germanys proceedings, the au-

the consummation of any plan which will
enable them to reach fruition. The Ber-
