News From Guam.


Arthur l.. Merry, clerk of the Homo
lulu naval station received by the
steamship Coptic news from Captain
Merry, his uncle, who has charge of
the naval work on the Island of Guam
Captain Merry writes, under date of
January T. from Pitt, that the work
on the harbor in Guam has been con-
siderably handicapped by the loss OF
the Yosemite, as he had expected the
help of her boats and men in the work
of sounding and so forth Ali are well
on the little Island with the exception
of one man, who has been suffering
somewhat with the fever. The north
east monsoon is continually blowing CT
the Island and the dry season has SCI
in, very little rain being experienced
of late
The work of making the harbor is
going to be very difficult and will mean
large expense to Uncle Sam. There
is more sand at Guam than there is at
Honolulu, however, and the shovel
dredge win be used TO do a great deal
of the work. Very little blasting is
necessary. Captain Merry reports the
climate of the Island much like that
of Honolulu.
The Justin had sailed for the Philip
pines when Captain Merry wrote and
the Brutus was still at Guam. a trans
port was expected there about the first
of February, the navy transport Sci

The Arethusa was at Guam from
Manila; she was soon to return 10 the

a postscript. dated January Il. says
that there was a transport sighted on
that day, supposedly coming from Ho-
nolulu.

for with a great deal of interest by all
who know him in this port
