Guam. the Forbidden.

The developments of war have
Brought into the possession of the
United States the Spanish islands of
the Ladrones, just to the eastward Of
the Philippines, and the end has ar
rived for a maritime fiction long held
in honor in all ports of Asia and Aus
tralia. Every year thousands of YES
sells clear at custom houses for Guam,
yet none ever goes there-none, in fact,
ever meant to go there. Guam has al
ways seemed such a legal fiction that
few have ever taken thought that there
is such place, and fewer yet have
investigated the reason why 1t is a
maritime Tom Tiddler's ground.
When a ship clears for certain
place it must go to that place by the
shortest route of sailing, gale and
wreck excepted, and any failure calls
for an explanation. Yet there often
arise cases where it is of advantage not
to declare the port of destination; it
may be that thus a. skipper may avoid
being bothered with mail, or it may
be that business rivalry seeks to con-
ceal some point of good trade. In such
cases the vessel clears for Guam, and
sails away to it's secret destination.
Although there is a Guam upon the
charts the vessels which have cleared
for it never lay course in its direc-
fion, and the law is none the less sat-
tsfied. How it is possible that Guam
can be such port is based on the old
traditions of Spanish exclusiveness
in the Indies, both East and West. It
has only been as result of superior
force that the Spaniards have opened
the Indies to trade, and this century
was well advanced before the last of
the old restrictions was removed. By
some chance the Ladrones were not
included, and in accordance with the
laws of the Indies every vessel calling
there without Spanish leave is forfeit
ed. The penalty of the law has not
been exacted for many years, but the
existence of the law has made possible
the legal fiction of clearing for Guam
AS soon as the American forces took
possession of this archipelago the laws
of the Indies ceased to have effect, and
Guam lost its peculiar distinction.
