WHEELER ON GUAM.
fome Interesting Data From Report
of Visit to the Island.
Especial Correspondence. ]

Especial Correspondence.1
WASHINGTON, Sept. 25.-One Of the
most interesting productions which
the government printing office has late
ly turned out and withal one of the
most artistic, as it is profusely illus
trated with half tone pictures, is Gen
eral Wheeler's report of his observa-
tons and experiences during an official
visit TO the island of Guam, that little
gem Of the Pacific which came to us
as one of the minor results Of the war
with Spain. The general was on his
way home from Manila and by direc-
ton of the war department stopped
there for week. The report indicates
that he made pretty thorough inves-
tigation OF the conditions of the island,
of which Captain Leary, e. S. N, was
then the governor, by whom the official
visitor was very courteously received.
The natives were no less cordial and
courteous. The church bells were rung
to welcome him and the 6-year-old son
of q former ruler of the island walked
by his side playing an accordion.
The island of Guam has never been
surveyed, says General Wheeler's re-
port, but its area may be stated at
about $50 square miles, one-half of
which, it is estimated, is susceptible
of cultivation. Nearly all of the land
is still virgin soil, only about l per
cent being now under cultivation. The
population is approximately 5000,
nearly all of whom reside in the towns.
The population of the principal towns
Is given as follows: Agana, 6,400;
Sumai, 800; Ynarajan, $50; Agat 400;
Merizo, 300; Umata, 200.
The land, which is regarded as ara
bic. is very fertile, producing cocoa
nuts, oranges, lemons, cacao, rice,
corn, tobacco, sugar cane, beans.
sweet potatoes, etc, the cocoanut trees
having an appearance of thrift and
bearing power superior to those seen
by General Wheeler in any other part
Of the tropics. The only industry of
any consequence on the Island is the
production and expectation of copra,
or dried cocoanut. The fora of the
island, judging from General Wheel
er's description of the trees and plants,
Is exceedingly varied and luxurious.
while the fauna is quite abundant and
of many kinds. There are, however,
no snakes on the island and very few
insects whose stings are poisonous.
The Guamese are a very cordial and
friendly people, but like others, living
where nature furnishes lavishly and
ready at hand the means of subsist-
ence, they are somewhat indolent and
improvident. Speaking of them, Cen
eral Wheeler says: "At every town we
entered we were met by the leading

were upon many of the houses, bells
were rung, and other efforts were
made by the natives TO manifest re-
gard for the Americans. | saw a few

very favorably. Their features were

mems. The people seemed DESTROYS of
establishing the kindest relations with
the Americans, and their conduct inn
pressed me with the idea that they
hoped for and expected great advan-
tages to come to the island from Amer
leans"
An especially interesting portion OF
General W/heeler's report is that which
relates to the administration of the is
land under Governor Leary whose va
red and various proclamations and or
ders, particularly those relating to the
morals and domestic relations of the
little colony, are decidedly unique. In
his efforts to promote thrift the gov
ernor commanded. among other things,
that every inhabitant must have at
least II hens, a cock and a SOW" Gov
ernor Leary was undoubtedly actuated
by the best and most patriotic motives,
and most of the orders promulgated by
him. particularly those relating to in
temperance, peOnage and concubinage,
have had already salutary effect and
viii bear good fruit for the governors
who follow him. Governor Leary was,
however. DESTROYS of civilizing the
Guamese too rapidly. His somewhat
too precipitate methods of extending
the benefits of the civilization to the
simple minded natives do not appear to
have worked altogether satisfactorily.
At anv rate there is now another gov
ernor i'm Guam.
The natives seem to ne tractable and
mild hammered and willing TO be good
but they do not want to be in too much
Of a hurry about it, They are fond of
music and dancing, of eating and drink
ing: but in the exercise of the latter
they are restricted by the governors
edict prohibiting the manufacture and
sale of all intoxicating beverages. On
the sly. however, they make liquor
from the sap of cocoanut trees known
as "tuba." but ii is not bad stuff. This
did not learn from General Wheeler's
report. but from a seafaring man who
had passed that way.

Give the West Justice.

1t IL well said, why should the arid
west not have Its share of the great
sums OF money which are being ex-
pended by the national government
for internal improvements. What
good reason can be advanced why
the western states and territories
should continue to contribute to
building such improvements for the
east and the south unless the west is
given a fair proportion of expendi-
lures for such purposes? Erstern
states, whether seaboard or interior,
get their proportion OF river and har-
Dor appropriations, but the arid
states Of the west get very little even
while they contribute their share to
these expenses.
