OPENING or PANAMA CANAL WILL GIVE
GREAT SHARE OF WORLDS TRADE IN COAL

seem to justify adding to the thirty
million tons recorded as bunker coal by
the United Kingdom and the United
states another thirty million ms the
share of British exports which finally
becomes bunker coal through purchase
for bunkering purposes at ports OF sta
tions to which il was originally ex.
ported. While the bureau of statistics
is unable to state the share of Amer.
lean coal exports which become vessel
supplies (aside from that actually re-
ported as bunker coal and not included
In the export statement) it is quite
probable that a considerable percentage
of the coal from the United States
which passes to the West Indian Islands
and the coast of Mexico is used for
vessel fueling. Add to this the more
than two million tons supplied by the
japanese mines to vessels engaged in
the foreign trade, the more than one
million tons supplied from Australia,
the nearly one million tons supplied
from India, plus the estimated con-
sumption of about three million tons
by the navies of the world, and the
bureau of statistics estimate of an
average of seventy-ive million tons
consumed on the oceans of the world
seems a conservative one. As the
valuation of the coal exported for
steaming purposes averages about $3.50
per ton the further estimate of the
value of the coal used on the oceans
of the world-over two hundred and
fifty million dollars per annum-seems
also a conservative one.
The United States is by far the larg-
est coal producer of the world, its pro-
duction in 1910 being -four hundred
and forty-one and half million metric
tons, against two hundred sixty.four
and half million by the United King
dom, two hundred twenty-five million
by Germany, thirty-nine million each
by France and Austria Hungary, TWEEN
ty.four and half million by Russia,
twenty.three million by Belgium, fifteen
million by Japan, fourteen and half
million by China, thirteen million by
Canada and twelve million each by
Australia and India, grand total of
production in 1910 for all countries for
which statistics are available being a
little over one billion tons, of which
about forty per cent. is produced by
the United States, about twenty-three
per cent. by the United Kingdom, and
about twenty per cent. by Germany.
The coal beds of the United States
contain large quantities of coal espe-
cially suited to steamship use by reason
of steaming qualities, freedom from
danger of spontaneous combustion, and
proximity to the seaboard.

The suggestion that the opening Of
the Panama Canal may render feasible
the establishment Of great American
station for supplying coal from the
mines of the United States to vessels
of the world lends interest to an esti-
mate prepared by the bureau of stats.
tics, department of commerce and labor,
of the coal consumption on the oceans
of the world. The statement estimates
the coal consumed on the oceans of the
world at approximately seventy-ive
million tons per annum, valued at over
two hundred and fifty million dollars.
An exact statement of the quantity
of coal consumed by the merchant
marine and navies of the world cannot
be made, owing to the fact that COM
paratively few countries state in
separate terms the quantity of coal
supplied to vessels for their own USE.
or for bunkering" purposes. The
United States statistics show about
nine million long tons supplied to YES
sells at ocean ports to be placed in their
bunkers for their own USE and the
British reports show about twenty
million long tons supplied to vessels
in the foreign trade and two and a half
million tons to vessels in the eoastwise
trade. This would made for the two
great coal producing countries of the
world-the United States and the
United Kingdom total of over
thirty million tons supplied directly to
vessels for tbunkering' purposes. In
addition to this, however, very con-
siderable percentage of the coal sent
out of Great Britain as exports
passes to ports and station in various
parts of the world from which it is
finally supplied to ocean vessels for
fuel purposes.
The great bulk of England Is export
of coal is for the use of steamships,
and it is within the mark to say that
over half of exports are for navigation
purposes. Cardiff alone ships
over million tons annually to Port
Said, over a half million to Malta and
Gibraltar, about the same quantity to
Cap Verde and the Canaries, over
100000 to Colombo, and large guam
titles to Alden, practically the whole of
which goes to bunker steam vessels
calling to coal at those depots.
AS the British exports of coal, aside
from that recorded as supplied to YES
sells for fueling purpose amounted in
1910 to over sixty-two million long
tons, the above quoted estimate would

.BUFORD SAILS ON
HURRY ORDERS
TRANSPORT GOES SOUTH TO sUo-
COR AMERICANS IN MEXICO
DEsTRoYERs ALSO.

SAN FRANCISCO, April g.. Acting
in obediance to supplementary orders
received late yesterday afternoon, urg-
ing the uttermost haste, the U. $. Army
Transport Buford sailed from this city
last night, bound for Mexico. She had
on board a guard of forty enlisted men
and officers, and her orders instructed
her to stop at San Diego for her con-
voy of torpedo boats or cruisers.
The torpedo boats Preble and Perry,
under sealed orders from the navy de-
partment steamed out of San Diego
yesterday afternoon at full speed,
bound for Pacific ports of Mexico. It
is understood here that the situation
has grown exceedingly grave, and that
hundreds of Americans are endangered
by the rebels now gaining the upper
hand in Mexico.
Appeals are said to have been re-
ceived from the two hundred and fifty
Americans virtually imprisoned at To
polobampo, for assistance and describ-
ing their condition as desperate. Other
cities have reported the presence of
American refugees and asked for as
sistance in getting them back to the
United States.

KILAUEA LAKE
STILL RISING
LAVA sUBMERGEs BIG PINNACLE,
FORMERLY sIxTY-FIvE FEET
ABOVE SURFACE.

The lava lake of Kilauea is still ris-
ing, according to the latest reports from
the Volcano and the big pinnacle which
has marked the rise of the food for
months past and which stood sixty.fve
feet above the lava few weeks ago
is now completely submerged and the
overAows are becoming almost daily oc.
currences. The complete chronicle of the
Volcano IS latest activities are included
in the following communication from f.
B. Dodge;
Editor Advertiser:- lake of
lava is somewhat smaller than it was
when Professor Jaggar started the
scientific work here in January, but al
though smaller it is nevertheless just
as interesting inasmuch as it has risen
about sixty-fve feet since then.
The depth below the rim now is 220
feet. The lake measures 434 feet by 244
feet. The following are the daily lie,
wells: April 81, 1915 am, 236 feet ;
April %, 10 am, 800 feet; April %,
1925 pm, 227 feet; April "a, 1880 pm,
223 feet; April 25, 9:20 am, 220 feet.
The average for the week is 227 feet
The lake fell back about nine feet on
April 81, but April 90 regained its for.
mer level of OPT feet, the highest for
last week, and has kept on rising until
it stands at 220 feet.
The pinnacle which stood 60 feet
above the lake when the observations
started and which was such prominent
mark has been totally submerged by the
many overflows, and the only thing
that stands TO show its former position
is large cone that spits lava and flame
at night. On the night of April 81,
there were numerous overflows and an
exceedingly swift easterly current. In
the day the lava dropped and the cur,
rent was very sluggish.
The lake overlooked again April %,
and there was an extra amount OF
smoke pouring from the cones on the
northwest and west end 1t was very
active April 90, when it got to its for
mer level, and very large overflow
occurred at the south cove.
There was, April "a, an immense cone
situated about 40 feet back of the west
end and spouting large quantities of
lava and flame into the air. at the same
time giving forth loud roar. The av-
erage interval of the Old Faithful was
90 seconds, the longest recorded.
There were many large overhows
through the day and q strong easterlv
current. April 25 saw the lake practi.
cally the same but 3 feet higher.

CHARGE
Did Not Approve the

Decision

Fight in New
England
DENIAL EMPHATIC

WASHINGTON, April 29.-Coming
direct from the White House yester-
day afternoon President Taft g answer
to tho accusation made by former
President Roosevelt that, while secre-
tary of war Mr.. Taft had sanctioned
the decision to drop the prosecution OF
tho Harvester Trust, created sensa-
ton in the political field.
There was never any question of APP
prevail or disapproval of the policy
adopted by the Roosevelt administra-
tion by members of his cabinet, espe-
cially on the matter of delaying the
prosecution of the Harvester Trust, ac-
cording to the President s statement.
The matter did not come up before the
cabinet for discussion, but the official
family was merely informed that the
decision had been reached. No one,
certainly not the then secretary of war,
was called upon to express an opinion
on the subject one way or another.
The President Is reply to the Roose-
welt charge caused not little excite
ment among the politicians in the
capitol yesterday. 1t was direct
contradiction of the statements made
by the Colonel and practically said the
former President was not telling the
truth.
After giving out the statement Presi-
dent Taft left late last evening over
the Pennsylvania railroad for New
York and Boston, where he win con-
tinue the campaign in New England,

HER RUDDER GONE OTHER
ay VESSELS STANDING BY, .

SAN FRANCISCO, April 29.--Send-
ing frantic appeals, for assistance the
steamer Admiralen, one of the coast,
wise steamers, last night summoned aid
by wireless and was reported at late
hour to have two other steamers stand
ing by, ready to render whatever as
sistance is necessary.
The Admiralen lost her rudder in a
heavy blow that struck her off Hum.
boldt, California, and began drifting
ashore. Her captain finally managed to
get her under control of some sort, but
asked that the steamers brought up by
his wireless, stand by until he was safe.
This was promised.

By Ernest G. Walker.

(Mail Special to The Advertiser.)
si5'WASHINGTON, April l2.-Major-
General f. c. Ainsworth, the former
adjutant general of the army, gets a
splendid vindication from the House
Committee on Military Affairs. He did
not need it with great many people,
who happen to be acquainted with the
efficient character of his work for
more than a score of years. A com
prehensive report from Chairman Hay,
of that committee, however, rounds
out the record for those less acquainted
with General Ainsworth IS record. 1t
shows how the old ruse of clipping out
paragraphs here and there from ex,
tensive correspondence can be utilized
by ones enemies to prejudice the APP
pearance of things to the uniformed
public.
The military affairs committee has
brought it about that the complete
correspondence between General Aims

Leonard Wood, as chief of staff, has
been printed. 1t makes quite pam.

partment and the war college,
General Ainsworth Is friends have
stoutly insisted that he did nothing of

SIAM MAY Be THE

GER OF BEING FORCED FROM
THRONE, SAYS sHEBA.

THRONE, SAYS SHEBA.
Siam bids fair to he the next repub.
lie. According to advices received by
Editor Sheba, of the Hawaii Shinpo, the
ruler of that country is in danger of
being forced from his throne, by the
steady growth of republicanism in the
kingdom.
I Siam is the one surviving iudepen-
dent kingdom in southern Asia, and
the devotion of the people to their
kings has been almost proverbial, Now
comes news of an attempt to establish
a republic. 1t seems likely that the
movement is influenced by the rcpubi.
can movement in China rather than by
any particular grievances the Siamesc
have against their young king, for he
has proved himself most advanced
ruler, and even better qualified by edu-
cation than his father to give the peo.
! pie good government. For centuries the
Siamese were among the most wretch.
eddy governed people ON the face of the
earth, but ever since Ghulalongkorn
came to the throne in 1865 they have
had a government that has been recog.
nized as the best in Asia. Vaiiravuth
| has been on the throne only few
months and ii is incredible that in that
short time he could have greatly
changed his fathers policies for the
worse, even if he were determined to do
so. He was supposed to be most pro
gressive young man, and was expected
to err on the side of freedom rather
than on the side of repression and tyr
amy.
Siam Big Neighbor.
Siam 8 two great neighbors are
France on the east and Britain in Bur.
ma on the west. Each has an acknowl-
edged sphere of influence in Siam, some.
what similar to the spheres of Russia
and Britain in Persia. British territory
in Siam is less than French, but
English influence has long predominated
at the court. For some years there was
aggression from both European powers,
but in 1898 treaty was signed that
was supposed to maintain the territorial
integrity of Siam, and also to remove
differences between France and Britain
as to the authority of each since then
there has been no friction between
them, and it seems highly improbable
that either would desire to foment
trouble for the young king since he is
practically European. He spent Ills
