OFFICE OF NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. WASHINGTON: GOVERNMENT PRINTING OFFICE. 1900. Navy Department, January ^, 1900. Commanding officers of United States ships of war will, upon visit- ing foreign and home ports, embrace every opportunity to report with- out delay all errors and omissions which may occur in this publication, together with the corrections therefor, to the Navy Department.

Long, Secretary of the Navy. ■ INTRODUCTION, The first edition of this work appeared in 1885, in the form of a Report upon the Comparative Merits of Anthracite and Bituminous Coal, to which was added in a second edition, issued in 1888, a number of analyses and tests of different kinds of coal, together with correc- tions in the tables to that date. A third edition was issued in 1892, omitting the discussion of the relative merits of anthracite and bitu- minous coal; the form of the tables was altered in some particulars, and many additions and corrections were made. In the compilation of Part II of the present edition information has been obtained from reports from cruising vessels and other official sources, from the proprietors of a number of docks and industrial establishments, from various commercial and technical publications, and from the Dock Book of the British Hydrographic Office, the Shipping World Year Book, Turnbull's Fort Guide for the United Kingdom, and Lloyd's Register.

Inquiry for coal at Rooky Point should be made at Matthew Town. Coal is not regularly im- ported. Wood is almost exclusively used in province of Puerto Principe, the 300 tons of coal on hand in 1889 being part of 400 tons imported for sale in 1886. Not available for vessels exceeding 16 ft.draught. Total importation of coal at Cardenas, 1888, amounted to 17,000 tons, of which 10,000 came from 0. S. and 7,000 from Great Britain. Total importation of coal at Matanzas during 1890 amounted to 57.000 tons, of which 40,000 tons came from U S. Duty on coal was raised July, 1890, from 57 cents to $1,72 per ton. Total importation of coal at Habana for the year 1890 amounted to 180,000 tons, of which about 120,000 came from U.S. Of 29,000 tons of coal im- ported during year ending June 30, 1890, 20,000 tons came Irom U.S. and 9,000 from Great Britain.

Liaoyang coal is used for domestic purposes; Kai- ping coal is a dust coal. Sealers, Butterfleld & Swire. Average output of the mines was 400,000 in 1894. The coal is in veins numbered from 1 to 9. In 1889 receipts of for- eign coal (CardiflP, Aus- tralian, and Japanese) amounted to 18,000 tons, and of Chinese coal to 1,800 tons; in 1890 re- ceipts were 6,000 tons foreign and 6,000 tons Chinese. The English Govemment has an option on all Car- diff coal at this point. H. B. M. consul at Wuhu, 1890, reports discovery at Chee-Chow of bitu- minous coal, in addi- tion to the anthracite mined there. Good coal can be ob- tained at this port. Importation of foreign coal during 1890 amounted to 6,680 tons. Native coal is exten- sively used by the river steamers. Coaling can be carried on much faster along- side dock; the compa- nies that own coal do not own lighters, and much delay, therefore, by coaling m stream. 90 OOALDfG, DOCKING, AND EEPAIBING E.vhibit of cocU to be had at the following AsiaJliG Station porta, Name of port.

The French patent fuel is made from English coal and resin, both im- ported. French coal has been driven from markets because of high railroad rates from the mines. Efforts are being made to get re- duced rates and use French coal. Importation of coal at Rouen (1890) amounted to 618,800 tons. A great part of the coal imported at this port is for the use of the Western Railway of France. A considerable propor- tion of the total amount of coal imported is for the manufacture of pat- ent fuel. Extensive harbor improvements in progress.

The northern coals are brighter in appearance and exhibit greater lamina- tion of structure than the southern, contain a larger proportion of vol- atile hydrocarbons, coke more readily, and give off much more smoke. The western coals are only partially developed and are very dry; titiey are dull in appearance and coke only when freshly mined. Coals of the northern district are shipped from Newcastie and Sydney; those of the southern from Coal Cliff, Bulli, and Wollongong.
