An Interesting Report from the Surgeon
Of the Bennington.

of the Bennington.
The navy department has received
an interesting report made by Surgeon
Ward of the cruiser Bennington. at
Port San Luis d'Apra, Island of Guam,
in the Ladrones, just before that YES
sci left there to join Admiral Dewey
the last of January.
Surgeon Ward had been ashore in
vestigating the commercial products
and mercantile establishments during
the stay of the Bennington in the har-
Dor, with view to determining what
dependence could be placed on the
local markets for maintaining the force
to be kept there hereafter by the
United States. He says he found
eight so-called stores in Agana, the
chief town, besides a number OF small
huts, where the native aguardiente,
made of fermented cocoanut milk, u
sold, but he did not ascertain whether
or not these bars were licensed. He
classed the stores under five heads,
according to the nationality OF the
men owning them. In the Manila
stores, conducted by men from Manila,
three in number, it was possible to
buy cotton clothes of various hues and
DIVES, embroideries, . few ready-made
articles of apparel. buttons. shoes.
paper, pens, ink, matches, and q small
assortment of canned goods of poor
quality and expensive, as well as soap,
candles and aguardiente. In one Of
the Manila stores cigars made OF ma.
tive tobacco, which was of poor quail

town, It contained all the goods t.
be had in the Manila stores, and IL
addition sugar, Japanese beer and lml

sold eggs and bread, the latter baket

But all the dwarfs and giants tall,
