NEW YORK, Oct 13.-The steamship st.
Paul, of the American line, arrived here
this afternoon from Southampton. She re-
ports that on Oct. s she passed the steam
ship La Lorraine, of the French line, fly
ing signals showing Machinery disabled:
repairing can be done at sea; no assistance
required" Having noted her signal that
no assistance was required, she did not
stop, but continued on her course.
On the st. Paul was Capt r. p. Leary,
of the United States navy, the former Gov
ernor of Guam. Captain Leary will go at
once to his home, in Chelsea, Mass. On his
return trip he stopped to visit the Paris
exposition. He said TO reporter: "The
people of Guam are happy. A great trouble
seems to be that they have constitutional
objection and a prejudice against labor.
When 1 came away. however. they were
more reconciled TO work. j got along very
well in the climate there, as did not ex-
pose myself"
He was asked as to number of stories
that had reached here as to the doings of
the people on the island. To these stories
he replied: ST suppose there have been
lots of stories published over here. My
principal trouble was the lack of regular
communication between the island and this
country. 1 understand. however, that now
they have transport service, and the ships
stop there twice month. Letters written
by my family in February, March and
April reached me on July 2. They came in
q bunch
"Are you an expansionist?" he was asked
eff you mean by that that am in favor
of standing by the government. yes; am
one am for standing by the government
until the last rebel is put down. 1 mean by
that that there should be no parleying or
compromise while the rebellion exists. If
1 had to do with them / would not enter
tain any proposition until they had laid
down their arms. The government should
be sustained. and 1t is shame that It
should be hampered by people talking and
acting in such a way as to encourage the
rebellion
do you mean there is dissatisfaction
among the men out there?'
81 mean higher than that. / mean people
who are away up, such men as-Td better
not mention their names. They are trail
tors, and If had my way Ia hang every
one of them
Some one told Captain Leary that Sixto
Lopez. the Filipino is now in this country
To this he replied: .He can't do any more
harm than some Americans have done.
mean such men as Atkinson-thats his
name. isn't it?-and that other man, Hoar. -
Senator Hoar is with Mckinley now"
'He ought to have been a long time ago, .
replied the captain. for he has done a lot of
harm. Men have hampered the govern
ment and done similar 1hings who are
away up in official circles. If they could
go out there once and see how action is
hindered perhaps they would have different
ideas"
Another passenger on the st. Paul was L.
c. Hanna, brother Of Senator Harna.
There is nothing that / can say OF in
terest," he said. II have been away for a
period OF five months for rest. Ny
