deal Of paper scrip. similar TO that
used in the United States before the

difference: when ours became Soiled

WASHINGTON. Ocs. 3l.-The navy de.
partment has received a report from
Captain Leary. the naval governor of
the island Of Guam, in the Ladrones.
which has excited a good deal of inter.
est among the officials to whom it has
been exhibited. The president himself
has read the report. his interest being
particularly attracted by the disclos.
ure of the fact that the first American
governor of the island has already been
obliged to adopt heroic measures to
ensure a proper administration Of af.
fairs there. Captain Leary soon learned
that his authority as governor was be-
ing subverted and every one of the
measures of reform which he proposed
was being defeated by the hostile in.
huence OF the friars. They resisted
every decree, 40 matter of what charac.

upon the natives. After exhausting all
other means to overcome this influence.
Captain Leary reports that he was
obliged to notify half a dozen of the
friars that they might have free trans.
portation away from Guam, and he
would expect them to avail themselves
OF the offer. That left but one triar on
the island and he was a man whose
character and reputation was such as to
convince Captain Leary of his fitness to
remain.
