LEARY'S RULE OF GUAM
HOW THE GOVERNOR Is ADMINS
TERING THE ISLANDS AFFAIRS.
Revolt Nipped by Arrest Of Trouble
PrOvOkers-NOne but Americans
Permitted to Hold Land.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 2.-The Bulletin
to-day publishes direct advices, the first
that have been received here for months,
from the Island of Guam. The advices ar
rived here on the China and will be for
warded to Washington as part of the re-
port prepared by the officers of the United
States steamer Brutus. The foreign trad
ers who controlled the business of Guam
seem to have vanished and the place has
suddenly opened a fine field for limited
number Of merchants. There was no
trouble at the island when the letter left,
but the natives are likely to cause some
anxiety if the Spanish agitators are not
taken in hand.
Governor Leary, who ranks as a lieu
tenant in the navy, found matters In very
unsatisfactory condition when he arrived
last August. The Spaniards had been tell
ing the natives all manner Of tales about
the Americans. and led some of the saw
ages to believe that the soldiers would
make slaves of them. A revolt was ripe,
and had not the governor caused the arrest
of several trouble provokers an incipient
rebellion might have been started.
The governor and men are at Agana, the
capital of Guam, and that Is the only town
garrisoned. About 800 more men are needed
TO insure perfect quiet, as evil influences
may be used to excite the natives who are
however, naturally doci.e people. Land
which sold as low as $40 and $l5 per acre
has suddenly advanced to over 500. Be-
fore the governor came foreigners were
grabbing everything in sight. knowing that
American rule would mean a boom fol-

LONDON. Nov. 3-Sensational rumors

respondent at Brussels.
