SAN FRANCISCO, June 1O.-A special

The British government, following out
the policy adopted in connection with other
big naval stations, is about to store an I'M
mense supply of Cardiff coal. the best
steam engine coal produced at the Esqui-
maui Dock Yard. Already five ships are
on the way with about thousand tons

it is not expected that this amount will
arrive for some time, although $4,000 tons
will probably be on hand before the close
