tar Kraeteke of the Hamburg. Amer.
lean line yesterday afternoon.

From information gathered by haf-
Dor officials II is the belief in shipping
circles that the German Pacific fleet
has made a rendezvous Of the Marshall
Islands and that tho German warshlps
in the Pacific have been getting their
supply Of coal at this point.
Captain Chlucter admitted yesterday
that he took cargo OF coal consist
ing Of 5000 tons, from Jaluit, which
was transhipped TO war vessel at sea.
Which one Of the German fleet IL wns
he refused TO divnlge. II is presumed,
however, that il was tho cruiser Nurn-
berg.
