The pres ence of five German warships in tho Pacific off the conpt of Chile and the probability that two more, the Dres den mid the Kmden, nre on Ihelr way to join (hem, created considerable ap prehension hero for tho safety of Canadian cities on the Pacific coast. To meet the situation, the naval au thorities at Ottawa wero in confer ence all forenoon. Monsures of some suit, it is said, will bo likely taken, though what they are has not been determined. Tho fact that tho German warships had been assembled into ono fleol was taken hero as a clear indication that Genuauy had perfected arrange ments for coaling tho fleet, and it was felt that little could bo dono to round up this fleet until llrilili and Japanese warships, now at Tiug Tan nro relieved. It is feared (hat tho Geniinn fleet imp' steam north and under threat of loug-distaueo bombardment atteaipt to levy tributo on the eitv of Victoria.

Tho brilliant victory or tho German squadron over tho llrltlsh coast of Chilo places a new aspect on the naval situation In the Pacific, For tho present, at least, It defi nitely shifts command of southern waters to tho Gormans, and until (hero bus been a readjustment of forces, will mnko Itself felt In tho movoment of all cargo and between tho Pacific coast and Kuropo. Which way tho Germans will elect to turn next Is purest speculation, but thoy aro free to move northward toward tho mouth of tho Panama canal or to continue southward toward tho passage through tho Straits of Magellan and tho route around tho Horn. At tho samo tlmo tho trade routes botweon San Francisco, Puget Sound mid tho Orient, already heavily po liced by Japanese and llrltlsh, are now cleared of menace and tho allied patrols can move against the enomy with a definite objocttvo.
