WASHINGTON SURPRISED.
Stra Value of the Co,sion OF spain's

WASHINGTON, June s. The an
nouncement at Madrid in the speech
from the throne to the cortes hat
Spain had coded the Caroline islands

ceivcd with surprise here, The cess
ion marks the REIMBURSEMENT of Span
ish possessions in the far East, save
the island of Fernando 70 and dcpeS.
denotes on the African coast.
The strategic value Of this cession
to the German interests in the Pacific
is evident from the fact that the La
drones and Palaos and even the Caro-
lines are in practically direct line be-
tween Hawaii and the Philippines and
will form excellent points of supply
for Germany. The American peace
commissioners ut Paris last December
vainly sought one Of the Caroline
islands on account of its being in q
line with Hawaii and the Philippines
and its adaptability as q station 1or
the proposed Pacific cable to connect
the Philippines with Hawaii and the
