ARE NEEDED ACCORDING TO THE REPORT OF REAR
 ADMIRAL BRADFORD,
SHOULD BE ESTABLISHED
Stations Should Be Placed Near the Windward Passage, Yu-
 catan and Other Points:

Washington, Nov. 8 The urgent necessity of adequate coaing sta- tons for our warships is dwelt up on by Rear Admiral Bradford, chief of the naval bureau of equipment, in his report to the Secretary of the Navy. He relates tie difficulties encountered during tbe war with Spain in securing coal, transport ing it and getting it aboard the ships. While these efforts were successful, the Admiral says: ''It was due almost entirely to the near proximity of the theattr ot war to our own coasts.
 Admiral Bradford says that a United States fleet, if called upon to act at any point across the Atlantic, must encounter even greater diff culties than were found by Admiral Cervera.
 As a matter of fact" continued Admiral Bradford, "It may be sta ted without fear of contradiction that at the present it would be i'm possible for United States fleet to carry on active operationsI'durlng war anywhere about the coast of Europe, Africa, large portion .of Asia and South America for want of coal.
 This country has assumed DO : sition of great responsibility in con uection with maintenance of the sovereignty of the territory of the South American republics against any aggression on the part of a European nation, yet there is not q single port where coal or supplies may be obtained in time of war by a nited States ship anywhere on the eastern or western coasts of South America. In the West Indies and the Pacific ocean we are now somewhat better off. It IS of para mount importance, however to establish coal depot on each side of the Isthmus of Panama near the termini of the isthmial canal.
 The report says under strategic positions" coaling station should be established near the Yueatan passage, the Windward passage, Mona passage and Virgin passage. all being important strategic loca- tions. The importance of coaling station on each side of the Isthmus Eof Panama cannot be overestimat- ed. Guam, it is stated, probably will in the near future be a cable station, and it is proposed to store 10, GOO tors of coal there.
 In the survey of the Pacific cable route two huge obstacle were en- countered, one a suomarine noun tain lying between the Midway Is lands and Guam, the second, the deepest submarine abyss yet found h the world, about 800 miles east Of Guam, and sinking more than 4,90O fathoms.
