locating an extensive naval station, coal
ing station or navy yard, owing io limited
depth of wafer.
Naval opinion ha* been divided for some
time as to the relative merits of Manila
bay and Hu big bay. The Bpan!*h govern
ment spent larg" sums on Subtg bay. and
It was thought to offer facilities superior
to those of Manila bay for a permanent
naval headquarters. An Inquiry as to the
relative merlin of this and several other
points was Imaltut'-d some time ago, and
the reports forwarded through the com -
thunder of the- Asiatic station are. not
favorable to Suhlg bay. holding that It
has disadvantage* similar to those urged
against Manila bay
Several other point* are suggest'd as
offering good sites for station* or yard*,
in.'hiding Hollo and Olongpo. Naval Pon
simotor Hobson has talon a different
view, however, and has presented a plan
for an extensive naval establishment on
flu big bay. In view of the difference of
opinion. It Is probable that a naval board
will be name-1 to pass upon the several
points ami select the one most available
for station.
