LOOKING AFTER LIBERIA.
Administration Trying to Get Into
African Affairs Also.

New York. December 2S.-A special to
the Herald from Washington says: 1t
developed today that the United States
cruiser Montgomery has been on a secret
mission to Liberia, Africa, performed. it
is believed with view of displaying the
American flag in Liberian waters and the
location of a site for an American coaling
station on the Liberian coast.
1t is further regarded as significant that
the Montgomery's cruise in Liberian wa
tiers was made at time when reports
were in circulation that Great Britain,
Germany and Italy had designs on the
territory of the little republic, and these
were so persistent that Secretary Hay
deemed ii advisable 10 make inquiries of
the powers named These inquiries re-
suited in assertions that none of the for
eign governments contemplated interfer-
ing with Liberian affairs.
1t is no secret here that Liberia has
long desired an active American protec-
torate, and Shas made representations
which lead the authorities to understand
that she desires the establishment OF ali
American coaling station on her shores,
be!eveing that 1t will give her additional
reason for protection from this govern
ment.
The reports which have been received at
the navy department REGARDING the Libe!
rian coast show that it does not possess
satisfactory site for coaling station.
