pines is narrated by Admiral Bradford
After careful consideration Of the sub
ject, it was decided that the best route
westward from Honlulu to the Philippine
Islands was by way of the midway Isl
ands and Guam, landing a cable al a rou-
venient point on the east coast of Luzon.
as near as possible to the latitude OF Ma
Mia. 1t was also decided. as desirable to
survey a route from Guam TO Yokohama.
The plan of the survey consists in corry-
ing direct lines of soundings, taken, at al
ternate intervals of ten and twenty knots
from Honolulu to the midway islands.
thence to Guam, and thence to Luzon, and
also from Guam to JaraH. The return
cuorse to be pursued is a Zig-Zag line
passing back and forth to; equal distances
on each side of the route followed in going
to the westward, with sound:nga at IN
tervals OF twenty knots at the turning
points.
The Nero sailed froui San Francisco 70.
Honolulu on April 22. She sailed from Hon
oIulu to commence her work ON May 0. Cn
May % she had completed a sla.ie lice of
sonndings to the midway islands: by Jaiy
to Guam, and by August to Luzon..
The Great Circle Route.
Two Offsets from the projected great cir
Gle route between the midway islands ard
Guam were found to be necessary in order
to avoid obstacles to q successful laying
and operation OF a telegraph cable
The FIRST Of these obstacles encountered
is submarine mountain situated a short
distance westward OF the midway islands
and rising from the floor of the ocean,
which here sinks to a depth of 1900 faith
oms to within 800 fathoms Of the surface.
The second obstacle is one of the deepest
submarine abysses yet found in the world,
situated about 500 miles eastward of Guam
and sinking to depth of more than 4 1900
fathoms. Reports have been received of
the preliminary line of soundtngs from
Honolulu to Luzon. and they indicate that
the route which is being surveyed will
prove entirely practicable. " - A
Considerable space is devoted III eihe re-
port to discussion Of the extent to which
electricity should be applied on board ship,
a subject Of great interest to naval circles
In concluding his review of this matter
Rear Admiral Bradford says:
The use Of electricity on board of Eng
lish ships of war is still confined to ineap-
descent lights, searchlights, and, signal ap-
paratus. The bureau believes that TO these
uses should be added power for turning
the turrets. working ammunition hoists.
the manipulation of guns. and the opera
tion Of small ventilating fans and appa-
ratus requiring small power in remote ,
parts of the ship. For larsesrventilating
fans situated near steam paces, for
winches, boat-hoisting apparatus, steering
gear. and windlasses. 1t is believed that
steam. as rule. should be used, in order
that the utmost weight and space may be |
given to the military necessities Of the !

many difficulties In carrying out the law
so far as the transportation of coal is
concerned. American ships are scarce and
command very high freight rates. So far
as the bureau could ascertain there is not
a single large-siZed steam collier under
the American flag The freight alone on
American coal from the Atlantic coast to
San Francisco IS sometimes as great as
the entire ccst of the best Cardiff coal ship
ped from England and delivered either at
Mare Island yard. or in San Francisco Bay
The adoption of the custom of some for
eign governments TO contract for supply
ing coal TO their ships whenever required
in the different ports OF the world has good
results economically. - contract was
made with a Philadelphia firm whereby an
excellent quality of coal is furnished to
American war vessels at thirty-one ports
as required. This effects a saving Of about
10 per cent on the prices paid under the
system abandoned. Admiral Bradford
suggests that as the Government colliers
are too small for carrying coal between
the United States and Manila. they should
be exchanged for large ships with carrying
capacity CT from 5000 to 5000 tons
review of the. present general condition of
coal depots shows that the depot at Pago
Pago, Samoa, will soon be established and
that the methods OF coaling vessels at Ma
Mia are necessarily slow and often defeat
rapid movements of ships.
Concerning new foreign strategic coal
ing positions for American naval vessels
and the necessity of having them, Ad-
miral Bradford has this to say:
The DifacuIties of Cervern.
1T is not considered that this report is
n proper place for an extended argument
in favor of establishing coal depots or
stations Attention, however, may here be
called TO the difficulties encountered by
Admiral Cervera in supplying his fleet with
coal. As Spain had landed possessions in
the West Indies, it may be said that a
United States fleet must, if called upon, to 4
act at any point across the Atlantic, en-
counter even greater difficulties than were
found by Admiral Cervera.
In the opinion of the bureau, a coaling
station should be established near the Yu-
catan passage, the Windward passage,
Mona passage. and Virgin passage, all being
important strategic locations. The i'm
portance of coaling station on each side
OF the Isthmus of Panama cannot be over
estimated.
Foreign coaling stations which do not
carry With them sovereign rights are Of
very little value. The ordinary coaling
stations for commercial ships are suffi-
cient, as rule. for war vessels during
times OF peace. During war however, the
Government must rely upon its own re-
sources

Stole a Suit of Clothes.

Two young men stole a suit of
clothes from the Bradford Hotel yes
terday and skipped over to West Vir-
g.nia as soon as possible. The clothes
belonged to G. M. McCauley.
The fugitives were closely followed
by Marshal Dye, but eluded him by
jumping on a train. Marshal Dye sent
word to the authorities at Sistersville
and Parkersburg to be on the lookout
for chem. Later in the afternoon a
message was sent over from Williams
town that the men were still there and
that one of them had been caught.
Marshal Dye at once went over but
the man had escaped from the author
lilies and both had skipped.
T suit of clothes and some other
stolen property were recovered, being
found in the Mountain S,ate Manufac-
turing Co.'S barn.
The men were described as being
alou. "a years of age, of slender build
and genteel appearance, both wearing
light overcoats. One had a scar on his
right cheek. They are suspected of be-
ing the parties who stole gold watch
from party on Putnam street.
