regarding this innovation In colonial

archeves OF the navy department as "

the curiosity that exists regarding affairs
there. Governor l.eary was always a pic
turesQue character In the service and his
mission on the lonely and scarcely known
island was regarded by those who know
him as singularly appropriate,
IL was expected that an interesting
experiment in civilization would begin
when he assumed control OF the new pos :
session and so Il has turned, although the
navy department for some reason has re-
trained from permitting tho details OF his
reports to get into circulation. That these
reports are highly interesting and In some
Instances wholly unconventional Is evident
from portions OF one which has just come
To Washington.
He has established the scat OF govern
nleiit at Agana. six miles from Port Louis.
IN the Apra, and over this distance his
men have 10 haul all the materials for
the buildings they are erecting us we'll as
all supplies.
But the Interesting part of the report
relates TO the reforms hcgun. OF which tho
governor says: Having disposed of the
priests rapid progress will be made and
10 further resistance will ne onrouniered."
He eSn,ains two orders which were printed
In English in the customary official form
on the first English printing press In
the island ond distributed broadcast. The
first OF these is calculated to compel adult
natives TO contribute TO the support OF the
government by engaging IN food produce
ten. This order, dated October 4, desires
all who hive no trade TO plant cereals
vegetables, etc., under more or less severe
penalties, 1t Is stipulated that each viN-
zen shall have at least twelve hens aud
one SOW and continue In possession OF them
indefinitely. They must bring eggs, chick
ems and vegetables to sell 10 tho governors
house and IA the barracks at stated inter-
walls and they must pay their taxes aud
discharge other Indebtedness
The other order, issued September 10.
was mare radical. II demands that con-
submago, which was general all over the
island. shall stop Immediately In this
order Governor Loary morahgcs as follows
to tho natives: Tho custom OF raising
families of illesitimate children Is repul-
slVc 10 ideas OF decency, antagonistiC 10
moral Advancement Incompatible With the
generally recognized customs Nof civilized
society; n. violation OF the accepted prln-
cplos OF Chritiauity, aud a most degrading
injustice 10 the innocent offspring. who
are not responsible for the conditions of
their unfortunate eXistenco."
The governor in conclusion, commanded
Immediate wodlock Tor the whole adult
population and made the license and civil
ceremony free until November :. AS a
result the officers in charge of licenses and
marriages we're worked half 10 death until
ncary everybody on the island was loally
married There was a rush TO obey the
order and IN fact, the people have shown
q disposition to be obedlent TO any sugges-
ton from their governor.
