Evening bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1895-1912, 1901-08-23

From all accounts 1t would appear. I
that those who are now and have been
for some time living on the island OF
Guam are not having the best kind Of
time Since the appointment Of Com |
mander eSaton Schroeder Of the navy, |
as Governor Of Guam the little place
has taken its position among other alb |
solute monarchies. Of the world.
The Governor of Guam has been
dubbed the ''czar" by the those living |
under him on the island and that he is
a veritable despot is borne out by the
statements Of w. B. Smith late first
clerk to his excellency, who was a
passenger in the Solace en- route to
Oakland, his home. after three
months residence at Agana.
From statements made yesterday II
appears that ever since Schroeder
took charge Of the island his sway has
been absolute, until communB cation
with Washington could be had. AS a
general rule Schroeder was turned
down by the Secretary Of the Navy and
as result of the continued strife there
has been at Guam since Schroeder took
charge. he has been recalled and an
other governor appointed to take his
place.
Governor Schroeder has no use for
civilians, and does not consider them
as being on the same level as himself
or the other naval officers on the ISL
and. They are Disseminated against
in every possible manner and their
privileges curtailed in every way.
On the island the government has
built big ice plant. This is capable OF
producing so much ice that after the
governor and his naval officers are
supplied there are usually one thousand
pounds left which go to waste. Not
withstanding this the civilians on the
island have to steal Ice II they want
It, as the governor has declared that
the Ice plant was not put up for them.
With regard TO liquor, the rules are
very strict. A civilian may not draw
whisky from the government stores but
the naval officers are supplied with a
case containing two dozen bottles as
often as It is needed.
Governor Schroeder had not been
very long in authority before he con-
sidered 1t necessary to issue the fol-
lowing order which Is known os naval
