Washington. Nov. 25.-Thcrc is rca-
con 20 believe that the administration
would be willing 20 purchase from
Spain. not only the Philippines aud
ITALIAN island. but all Of the Carolincs
aud the Pelew group.
Behind the proposition 30 buy Ualan
lies the hope in some quarters that
Spain will make a counter proposition
Tor the cossion Of the entire group and
the pelcw islands for an increased
compensation.
The occupation ~ Guam by this gov
eminent was based upon belief that II
has a magnificent harbor, and would be
an excellent stopping place between
Honolulu aud Manila. The American
commissioners have now learned that
the harbor Is exposed TO monsoons; that
Il Is shallow, and that the island Is
subject to earthquakes.
In the Carolines most Of the Islands
have excellent harbors, which are well
sheltered. They are heavily wooded
and supplied with fresh water and
earthquakes are unknown. In add.
ton they would, II required by the
United States, be the outposts for the
Philippines They extend In a belt
along the ninth degree Of latitude. and
are only 800 miles to the southwark OF
Guam and $50 miles from the Philip
pines. The Pclcws are about coo miles
from Mindanao.
/ The belief prevails here that the Ger
mans will bring pressure to bear upon
spain TO prevent her from selling tho
Cnrolincs 10 the United states. such
action would undoubtedly be- looked
upon ~ cause for breach Of friend
