doubtedly correct. as the Pocahontas Coal
Company is asserted by one of its en-
ployees to have practically admitted that
an unlimited contract from the British
Government for her coaling stations all
over the world had been secured, and the
work has just fairly commenced. The sta
tions 10 which cargoes have thus far been
sent are Montevideo. in Uruguay: St.
