WASHINGTON. July 24.-The navy
department is preparing for possible
eyentualities arising out Of the situa-
tion in China. One Of the greatest DIFF
fculties which would confront the
United States, in the event Of naval
warfare in Chinese waters. is the lack Of
a naval base close to the scene Of oper-
atlons.
As a precautionary measure the col
liers purchased during the Spanish war.
which had gone out Of commission, are
being fitted out for service.
Foreign countries have gobbled up
everything afloat which could be util-
lied for shipping coal and stores. Ger
many and Japan have impressed steam
ers. The result is that at the present
time fifty per cent OF our government
freight for the Orient is now being
carried in foreign boats.
Consequently, prices have materially
