FRESH GERMAN COM
PLICATIONS AT MANILA.
Only Nation from Which Trouble Is Ap
prehendedBattleships Oregon and
Iowa Start for Philippines Soon
NEW YORK, Sept. A special to the
Herald from Washington says:
As an indication that Germany has been
scheming to share In the disposition of
the Philippines, the authorities have
learned that, acting under Instructions
from Berlin, the German commander' In
chief of the Asiatic station has made an
cxhaustivo Investigation of the mineral
deposits of the Island.
He was assisted by a Gorman engineer,
who had been temporarily assigned to his
squadron for the special purpose of locat
ing coal. The engineer conducted a thor
ough Investigation and his report, which
has been submitted to the Berlin gov-
PROTECTORATE
ernment, through VIce-Admlral Von Dled
rich, shows that the best lignite deposit,
are located on the island of Cebu, on of
the Vlxcayas group.
This Information baa been received
from one of the representative of thl
government In Germany and ha been
considered of sufficient importance to be
presented to the peace commissioner for
their consideration. Officials who wera
Interviewed regarding the matter admit
that there can be only one object whlca
would lead the Berlin government to di
rect such an Investigation Is the deelr to
extend German jurisdiction , over, the
island which has the largeet beds of coal
best adapted for steaming purpoee.
Such an Island is Cebu, reports of which
have been received, showing that lignite
of good quality is found In large quanti
ties. Germany would find Cebu exceed
ing valuable a a coaling station and It
would not necessitate the establishment
of a coal pile at Klao Chou, which an
recently obtained.
Aware of Germany' proceeding, the
authorities are taking precaution to pro
vent the consummation of any plan which
wilt erable them to reach fruition. The
Berlin government, by tne reduction at
it fleet In Manila bay gave an Indication
of it desire to remain on good term, with .
thl government While regretting tha
maintenance of uch a large force at Ma
nila, no protest was made by thl govern
ment and the action of Germany In reduc
ing It naval force was entirely voluntary.
The report made by the German engineer
explain to the official why the German
vessels were steaming around the island.
It Is no longer secret that Germany la
the only nation from which the govern
ment apprehends trouble in the settle
ment of the Philippine question and It 1
to avert the commitment of an overt act
that the president determined to so
strengthen Rear Admiral Dewey's com
mand so as to muke It superior to tha
German fleet in Asiatic water.
The battleships Oregon and Iowa will
start for Manila, via Cape Horn and Hon
olulu next Saturday or Sunday, by which
time it Is expected all repairs will hav
been made and the fleet of collier will be
in readiness. Leave of absence have been
given to the officers until the latter port
of the week, but no extensions will be
given. It being desired to get tha ship
away without delay.
