GERMANS AFTER coALING STATION
Have Their Eyes ON Msrgarita, on
Coast of Venezuela

nave ihelr Eyes ON MarRarita, ON
Coast of Venezuela.
Washington. May 2.-Although the mat
ter never has figured before the State
Department, the Navy Department has
been closely watching the happenings
near Margarita Island, off the coast of
Venezuela, which have given rise to the
report that a German coalng station is
TO be established there. The facts have
been reported to the department by some
of the United States naval officers who
commanded vessels which have cruised in
those waters recently
Last year German warshlp spent ten
weeks in looking into the possibilities of
Magarita Island and this fact led TO an
examination on our own account which
developed the presence on this strategic
point OF one of the finest harbors in South
America, the possession of which would
AFFORD the United States or any other ma
tion with navy. practical control of the
Panama canal from the eastern side.
Aside from this island, some OF the best
posted naval authorities hold that the
Gulf of Caraco, on the north coast of
Venezuela, offers by far the most ad-
Vantageous site for an American coaling
station IL one is to be located In that part
OF the world. In view of the reported Ger
man surveys in that quarter, the naval
authorities here are showing unusual in
terest in the points available for American
use. The State Department never has
been called upon specifically to construe
the Monroe doctrine so far az II might
relate TO the attempt by an European gov
ernment to secure ooaling stations IN the
Gulf OF Mexico or the Caribbean Sea

THE INDEMNITY REPORT READ.
Ministers Object to Tone of Won
WaIderSee's Letter.

Pekin, May 12-At a meeting OF the
ministers yesterday the report of the In
demnity Committee was read Regarding
the resources of China the report was
very voluminous. 1t was practically a
repetition of the Jameson's well known
pamphlet upon the subject. Sir Robert
Hart offered suggestions similar to those
already credited to him. 1t is claimed
that the revenues from all available
sources will not allow China to pay the
indemnity unless assistance is rendered.
The next meeting will be held next
Tuesday. The subject of Count Won Wal
dersee's letter then will be taken up and
a reply to it will be drafted. The minis
ters, personally, object to the tone of the
letter. They claim that they know what
they want without being told They par
ticularly object to any of the legation
guards being under any authority except
that of the ministers themselves.

THE HITCH AT PEKIN.
sfay BE Due to Mr.. RocLhiIIs Plan
for Abolition of Likin Duties.

Washington, May at is believed here
the the hitch, which is said to have arisen
at Pekin over the proposition to increase
the Chinese customs duties to meet the
indemnities demanded by the foreign
Powers, is caused by the broaching by
Mr.. RockhiH of his plan for the abolition
of the likin duties as a condition for his
acquiescenoe in the customs increase. The
United States government has in the past
admitted readiness to permit the Chi
nese to increase the customs rates pro-
viding there was no discriminating be-
tween the Powers. Minister Wu saws
that the present 5 per cent. is totally in
adequate to provide a sinking fund for a
new loan.

 Barry was not able to throw much more light on the affair. He said he and Avery had had no quarrel They ate dinner together and when they finished and he started away Avery attack q him. The assault must have occurred outside the house. for there was no blood inside. Even the knife was not bloody. A great deal of blood, though, was found near the gate and the gate-post was smeared with IL.
 Barry had gone to Avary's on horse back. but he left on foot, either un- able to mount his horse or forgetful of it. He did np, g. far until he fainted and fell in the road. where he was found and carried to Walkers. That must have been two hours after the cutting. Both Barry and Avery said there was no one else at the house. Both had drunk freely Of the jug and G'd not know what occurred afterward until Barry recovered consciousness at Walkers house and the officers told Avery.
 There was great excitement in the neighbOrhood where the affair was regarded as a mystery rather than as cause for indignation. Both Avery and Barry are mild-mannered men and were known uO be E cd friends.
 Avery was arraigned before Justice Burnett yesterday morning and his examination was set for 10 o'clock to- morrow morning.
 Avery is about fifty-flve years old and has lived in the valley for quar- ter of a century. He formerly had a large cattle range on the Gila, but went 1 out Of the business some years ago. He has been separated from his wife and living alone on his ranch, twelve miles west of the city. He has been drinking more or less for years, but was seldom ill-tempered when drunk, though the police said yesterday they had same trouble with him a few | ks ago.

AS STRIKE AFFECTS ARIZONA
Railroads Arranging For Fuel From
 the Pacific Coast

The probable effect on Arizona of continuation of the sympathetic coal miners strike in Colorado and New Mexico, is thing that has excited much discussion among the heaviest coal buyers and consumers at Phoenix, and the railroad officials. The pro- longation of the strike is so likely that the railroad companies have already made arrangements for securing coal
 from a new source when the coal fam
 inc tightens It's grip on Colorado and New Mexico.
 The strike cannot have as serious an effect on Arizona as at first thought IL
 would S. em likely, for although this territory has hitherto received its prin- cipal coal supply from Colorado and New Mexico, there is little, if any, reason why 1t should not look to Los Angeles for greater proportion of the supply received. Larga quantities of
 that fuel from British Columbia ballast ships returning from there and from the Klondyke coasts, and a great deal of it Is landed at San Diego and santa Monico and sent to Los Angeles for
  though the amount of coal from the northern Pacific coast country has been greater than usual in late years. still southern California and Arizona have continued to import large quan- titles of the product from Colorado and New Mexico.
 The Santa Fe, Prescott X Phoenix Railroad company and the Maricopa x | PhoCn nix & Salt River Valley railway have arranged for coal from Los An .gelas when their shortage becomes a | little more stringent. They are now | handling the supply on hand with the utmost economy. trusting thaJ it VIII 1 hold out until the regular coal chan- ! nels can be fully reOpened.
