? CAPTAIN MERRY's TASK.
Details of the Work He Must Take
up In Guam Harbors.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.-The Navy
has taken the initial steps
in the preparation for the complete and
system of Notifications
and harbor improvements by which it
is intended to make the island of Guam
a thoroughly protected base for our
naval vessels in the Western Pacific.
The Navy Department has been at
pains to ascertain just what harbor
facilities other nations have in this
part of the world, and the maps already
prepared show that southwark from
Guam we are fianked for 2500 miles by
"a chain of islands containing thirteen
fine harbors. all of them potential bases
of hostile powers. Some of them al
ready are equipped and fortified. These
harbors are included in the Marshall
and Caroline groups, which stretch
from the southern border of the Philip
pines eastward past the longitude of
Guam, while on the north the Lad
rones possess several harbors, some of
them as close as forty miles to our pos
sessions in Guam.
In view of all these facts ii has been
determined to make Guam a great
naval base. \ mixed commission of
one army and two naval officers has al
ready b1en assigned to tho work of the
preliminary survey and upon their rec
concentrations the future work in this
line win be made.
The officers are Captain ]. F. Merry,
now on duty at the naval station in Ho-
nolulu; Major Biddle of the army en-
gineer corps. now on duty in the Philip
pines, and Lieutenant A. NJ. Beecher
now on duty in Washington. Lieuten-
ant Beecher is accommodating the outfit
for the commission here and shortly
will proceed to San Francisco, whence
he will sail on the Solace about Octo.
/ Der 1, picking up Captain Merry at Ho'
nolulu, while Major Biddle will come
eastward to meet the other two mem
bers of the commission.
