Cruiser Charleston to
and Establish
Coaling
SAN FRANCISCO, .June ',). The Evening Post will
say today that the cruiser Charleston will not go to the Phil
ippines at once, but her destination is the island of Guahan,
in the Lad rone group, which are controlled by the Spanish,
and which are about 1500 miles from Manila and oOO from
Honolulu.
The chief city of Guahan is exceedingly well fortified
for such a small place, and affords one of the best harbors
and coaling stations in the Pacific. About six months ago
the fortifications were strengthened by the Spanish to pre
sent formidable resistance is case of attack.
The post says the United States will seize the group and
use Guahan for a Pacific coaling station in addition to any
others she may desire. The Charleston, the Post continues,
was ordered to wait at Honolulu for the first fleet of trans
ports that left the city and to to take them to the Ladrones.
It is asserted that the artilery which went on the Pekin
was really intended to garrison the fortifications at Guahan,
and after quiet is restored and the islands are under control
of the United States that the Charleston,' with the transports,
will go to Manila.
It is said that the Monadnoek will not stay at Honolulu
but proceed to the Ladrones and there remain as permanent
guardian of the interest of the United States.
