MARCUS ISLAND CASE
Government Hay Have TO Drive the

Government HAY Have TO Drive the
.gaps eff 1t.
Washington. July BIN regard TO the
report that international complications
may ensue between the United States
and Japan as the result OF the japanese
taking possession of Marcus island. 4
small guano island about 5000 miles west
OF Honolulu, and which island is claimed
BY Captain a. \. Rosehill. an Ams-ican
citizen. An inspection Of the govern
ment records Of what are known as
"GuanO Island Entries discloses the fact
that in 1889 Captain Rosehiil lodged no.
tice of the discovery by him of Marcus
island in the Western Pacific and claimed
the right to exploit 1t for guano. The
state department. is not required by the
law governing gIane island entries TO
pass upon the suficiency of any such
claim as that made by Captain RosehiII.
The department simply receives such no.
tice for the purpose Of record. Another
section OF the Law requires the claimant
20 aguano island to talse out a bond
the purpose of which is to see that nc
does not charge an exorbitant price for
the gUanO; that the island claimed by
HIM does not belong to any ether eoun-
try and that he will vaeate it when be
has taken away the guano. There is
no such thing as a fee simple title for
the island; the government merely at
firms the righs OF the claimant To take
the guano. Recently Captaia RosehiI
filed the necessary bond in the treas
ury
The law requires a proclamation to be
issued announcing to the world the loca-
ton OF the Guano plain, but this has not
been done in Captain Rosehin's case. nor
in fact has any such proclamation ever
been issued since the administration Of
Hamilton Fish in the state department.
1t is the general opinion that these Guano
titles are of extremely doubtful force and
it is the further opinion that it is abso-
lutely necessary to maintain title that
the island claimed should be continuously
occupied and explored for Guano by the
claimant which does not appear to have
been the case with Marcus Island, There
foreu if the japanese are working the is
land, as reported it is improbable that the
United States government win interfere.

on Governor Ferguson this morning to
talk over the situation and will submit
a report to the governor on their return.
The usual instructions We're given the
members of the commission by TIE COVER
nor.
Since the report which caused change
in management at the institution very
little has been heard about the santa
rum at the governors Office. As far as
the conducting OF the affairs of the in
stitution is concerned there have been no
complains. In few cases there have
been some statements made relative to
the food furnished patients in the hos
pital, but this is believed to have been
the work of discharged patients who
had asked for delicacies which were de
ned them by the physicians in charge
owing TO the condition of the patient
The management of the sanitarium has
been making Improvements in the iEsti-
tuition at all times and it is claimed that
the institution is now in better condi-
ton than ever before, Governor Fergu-
son is well satisfied with the system now
in vogue in the institution and during
the past month has had nothing TO cause
him any uneasiness relative TO the care
of inmates of the institution.
