WANTED TO SEIZE THE CARO-
LINES.

Admiral Dewey Was Prevented by
Gable Order From Secretary
Long.
New YORK, Dec. Dec. PA special
to the Herald from Washington
says: Had the war lasted short
time longer it is thought the United
States flag would now be floating
over the Caroline Islands, as the
navy, from the time of Rear Admiral
Dewey's victory, was anxious to take
this group, The islands probably
would have been taken anyhow but
for the fact that Secretary Long, by
direction of the President, cabled
Rear Admiral Dewey forbidding him
to do SO.
Officers of the navy still hope that
some way may be found of acquir
ing these islands, which, it is be-
lieved, Spain will sell for reason
able compensation. They do not
want any other nation to obtain
power to establish coaling stations
and naval bases there.
In the meantime the navy is taking
active steps to prevent recurrence
of the conditions as to coal supply
which prevailed at the beginning of
the war with Spain. Coal sheds are
being erected at all the navy yards
and stations ia the United States
not already amply supplied with
shelter for the large quantities of
fuel, for coal is to be sent to Ha-
vana, Santiago, San Juan, Honolulu,
Guam, Manila and Pago Pago.
AS there is little good steaming
coal on the Pacific it is the intention
of the department to supply all
Pacific stations with coal from the
Atlantic, which will be sent around
Cape Horn in golfers. Large sup.
plies will be stored at all the sta
tions, but San Francisco will be the
great coal base, and it is proposed
| to store there not less than 100000
tons of the best quality of steaming
coal.

A. H. Harrison has been in Missouri
and Kansas this week looking up a
market for the immense crop of black
berries which the Expressman 8 Invest
ment Co., will have ripening in short
time.
The raspberry crop of the red varieties
will be rather light this year, as almost
all the bearing wood was killed by the
extreme cold of last winter. and what
berries there will be are on new'growth
which makes the season of ripening con-
siderably later.

We have heard enough from reliable
parties to come to the conclusion that
had the societies had representatives on
the ground at the points of consignment
the returns for berries would have been
different. For instance one shipper re-
ceived returns of Soc case for berries
shipped to certain city and few days
after received letter from retailer
saying he had bought some of his berries
at 81. so per case and if he would consigr
him some at lower figure he would be
