ing while waiting for cabled per

other Dutch steamer, the Willis,
which is due here from San Francisco

Hereafter, it is understood by the
ships agents that they will have to
secure similar permission from Wash
ington before any of the Dutch YES
sells are allowed to take on coal at
this port. No explanation for the
order requiring the securing of coal
ing permits from Washington is forth
coming today, any more than it was
any time since Monday.
1t was stated by the Inter-Island
officials that the two Dutch steamers
would be coaled in three hours. The
agents have announced that the Prin-
ses Juliana will sail for the Orient at
$50 o'clock this afternoon and the
Goentoerz for San Francisco at 8
O'Clock tomorrow morning. The Goen-
toer will take the coast mail which
