Praise for Guam's Governor.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 13.-Captain Mccall
la, commanding the steamship Newark.
has written a letter to the chief of the
bureau Of navigation in which he makes
the following statements:
ION our way across the Pacific I found
il necessary TO stop at Guam for the pur-
pose of coaling. The island is a very beau
tiful and fertile one, and in the governor
and his associate, Stafford. you seem to
have selected the right men for the places.
From a commercial point of view IL is safe
that every dollar spent on the Island of
Guam will return TO our country a hun
bred fold. II smiling faces on the part OF
all whom we saw were an indication of
contentment and satisfaction with the
methods recently adopted on the island,
then 1 am certain that the new admins
tration is already most successful"
