NAVAL STATIONS IN CUBA.
SURVEYS MADE WITH A VIEW TO SELECT
ING IMPORTANT STRATEGIC POINTS.


Washington. June The surveys which have
been in progress FOR some time along the coast
OF Cuba have disclosed the most available har-
bors for coaling and naval stations in case
these are established in accordance with the
Platt amendment The Eagle. the Yankton and
the Vixen have been conducting these surveys
for many months. and the work on most OF the
chief harbors is now completed. Probably the
most important points are Cape San Antonio. at
the extreme western extremity of Cuba, and
Cape Maysi. at the extreme eastern end. AT
Cape Maysi IL has been found that there Is a
reef running far out into the water, and that
there is no suitable harbor within about forty
miles from the cape. The Bay of Nipe appears
TO afford the most available harbor in that To-
cality. At the other extremity of the island II
has been found that Cape San Antonio has
harbor OF any kind in its immediate vicinity
suitable for naval coaling station This
locality is regarded extremely important from
a naval and strategic point OF view, as IL COM
mands the Yucatan Passage. Most of the large
harbors along the northern and southern coasts
have been surveyed and charted. those OF Glen
fuegos and Guantanamo apparently being
among the best the southern coast These
surveys have proceeded without any reference
TO the political questions relating Cuba, al
though the work already accomplished will be
serviceable when these political relations are
finally determined.
