Washington, March 10.-The navy department has received a dispatch from naval officer connected with the Bennington regarding the conditions in the island of Guam. The report is from San Luis D'Apra and describes the conditions at Agana. At this lat ter place he says there are eight so- called stores besides small wretched huts where native aguardicnte is sold It is made out of fermented cocoanut milk The stores are classed, first, Manila; second, Japanese; third, Chin csc; fourth, Chamarro, (native.) and fifth, American.
 Flour is difficult to obtain. Butter and lard are not good owing to the warm climate. Chickens and eggs are plentiful. Beef is poor and no sheep are raised on the island There are plenty of pigs, yams, sweet potatoes and corn. Bananas, cocoanuts and bread fruite are the chief sources of food for the natives. There is little fishing, fairly good clans and very small oysters of sweet taste. There are plenty of deer, goats, wild turkeys, ducks and other game.
