THE REASON WHY

Commodore Dewey used Vacuum Oils
for his fleet at the battle Of Manila was
because he knew they were best, and a
full supply was available at Hong Kong.
He will find good stock at Manila when
he lands. Machinery operators in the
Philippines have used Vacuum oils for a
number OF years. Vacuum oils are 50
well-known and highly thought Of in all
parts OF the world that one hundred and
twelve foreign warehouses are required
for their distribution; at home they are
sold in every city. The reason is: they
lubricate most.

NO CANADIAN COAL. SOLD DIRECTLY TO THIS
GOVERNMENT
Washington June 2-The Spanish Government
has made a protest to the British authorities
against the shipping OF Canadian coal from
British North America tn San Francisco for the
relief OF the ships of Admiral Dcwey's fleet at
Manila. and also agalns, the shipping Of coal
from Nova Scotia to Atlantic ports for by
United States warships operating In the West
Indies.
In view OF the ruling by the British Govern
protest by Spain might have caused considerable
embarrassment, as Canadian coal IL considered
by the naval authorities to be a superior article
for the use OF warships. 1t Is not an extremely
long distance from the British North American
coal fields To San Francisco. and the Nova
Scotia fields are also easily accessible to At
antic ports.
It is understood. however. that Spain's pro-
test has not proved Of any avail. The subject
was referred to the Canadian authorities, who
on investigation learned that the coal shipments
both from British North America and from Nova
Scotia were In the ordinary course cf commercial
transaction. They were made by private per-
in Canada TO private persons In the United
States Whether the coal afterward passed into
the hands OF the United States Government for
use by the Navy was held To be outside Of the
province of the British ana Canadian authorities.
