Washington, Sept. 4. News from Yokoliama that Japanese "explorers" had occupied and hoisted tbe national flag over tbe island of r ratal, near in Philippine, attracted much attention here because by this set has been added to Japanese territtory an Island within 120 mile of tbe fbiiippmet, wnicn would tarnish n admirable naval baas, Japanese possessions are brought al most within tha archipelago, because Pratas island ia less than 60 miles north of the twentieth parallel, which waa the international boundary oi to former Spanish dominion as defined in Uie treaty of Paris. Prata island, in connection wun ana excellent anchorage afforded by Prata reef, wonld be very serviceable to tba Japanese, should tbelr navy operate in the waters adjacent to the Philippines. Tbe reef, tbe northeast point of which is about eleven miles from tne island, ia a wind barrier oi circular form, in closing a lagoon with water of from five to ten fathom. The reef it about so mile in circumference and between on and two miles in breadth. Thar are two channels leading into the lagoon, one on either side of Pratas island. There are several ' good anchorages la from ten to twenty fathom of water, Uie position abreast of Uie sooth chan nel being well adapted for naval pur pose. - The War and Navy department offi cial say they have no official informa tion about this nsw acquisition of tba Japanese nation. , POSTPONES ALTON INQUIRY.
