which is 1 cent per kilo, gross weight,
will be collected on imports. The consul-general

stations of the different governments,
shipyards, repair stations, docks, coal
capacity of stations, the quality of coal
od other matters relating to the coal
siipb'v of vessels bound on lone voyages,
The book will show conclusively in this
reapsct that the United States is far
worse off than any other country pre
tending to be a naval power, possessing as
it does, only three coaling stations, vis :
in Honolulu, Lapas, Mexico, and Samoa.
Great Britain has important stations in
all her possessions in many places where
coal can be landed from England for the
nse of her vessels of war at well as her
merchant marine. All are strongly for
tified and garrisoned. The book will
further show that should the United
States go to war there would practically
be no foreign ports outside of her three
stations, all of which are on the Pacific
ocean, where she could hope to get coal.
