THEISLAND OFGUAM
BY II. II. HIATT.

BY II. II. HIATT.
Agana, Island of Guam, June
., 1902. REPuBLICAN-We have
Expected very wet weather this
month, but it has been fully as
dry as May. We are told that
next month will be very wet.
Nothing has been as it was report
ed except that this is a warm eli
mate. We are to have a big
Bali or ball to night in the
school house, 50 we have no
school. The dances which give
us about two days off, are very
enjoyable, and to encourage them,
we all attend. "A steamer is here
with a number of cadets from
Annapolis, who have finished
their school work and are out on
their first cruise. SO the Ball
is given for their benefit. the
fact is, Guam is recognized as
the Hub of American society
west of the United States. All
the Half Breeds" are invited
to night so as to supply the fe-
males quantum. Some of the
half Spanish girls are quite fair
to look upon, and dress with ele-
ganCe and expense far beyond the
American ladies.
A short time ago | looked over
the family records of these peo-
pie and found that 20 per cent of
all the children are illegitimate,
and 50 per cent of all the people
have illegitimate records, and
this is no doubt fairer showing
than the actnal facts, for the re-
cords are from personal state
lnentS oil atlalrS.
This city is fnll of boys and
girls wiohout any fixed home.
There has been an epidemic of
inflamed ears among the Ameri-
cans the past month. And we
have done some strong grooming,
along with our suffering. We
endure all these things cheerfully
however, so long as it is for 1.-the
good of the country" 1t is am
using to notice the effect of
SuperStitution among these
people. We can't get them to
eat "Deviled Ham" They get
the Devil associated with the
canned ham, and have all kinds
of notions about it, Some think
the Americans raise Devils and
fat and kill them for food.
Others think the meat is made
of bad people who were possessed
of Devils. While others think
the Devil himself has a canning
factory in which he
uses all bad people for can
ming purposes. Like all ignor-
ant religious people, these ma
tiveS have far more awe and re-
gard for the Devil than for any
thing else.
We started quite a garden a
few weeks ago and sowed some
radish seed from u. s. They
soon came up, and and grew with
promise, but when we looked for
radiShcS to eat we found little
wood roots unfit to use. Our
tomatoes and cucumberS look
we'll and we have hopes of taste
of real American vegetables.
Nebraska vegetables are far more
enduring as a palatable diet than
all tropical fruit.

rants that had not been taken out
of his office. Members of the
board looked over the list of
warrants he had and found a
large number that they knew
personally the parties had either
left the county or execution proof
and had the sheriff return them
to the treasurer in order to save
unnecessary cost to the county,
yet the sheriff brought in a bill
of S36S against those warrants.
With this array of facts which
the pop members of the boar d
had an opportunity to know, they
voted against adopting the
majority report, Were their
votes influenced by political
prejudice or for the best interest
of the county? The sheriff has
appealed from the decision of the
board, hoping to bolster up his
milage deals, but there is no
court in the land no matter how
partisan it may be that will COM
pei county to pay claim not
properly itemized.
The Beacon further states that:
1.-The Sherilf's semi-anual re-
port shows that the fees OF his
Office from January 9th to July
LIST, are S2,052.77, or S52.T more
than he is allowed as his salary
for a whole year. If the case is
decided in ArmStron'S favor, not
one cent of the money in con-
troversy will go into Armstrong;
pocket, but every cent will go
into the county treasury to pay
the running expenses OF the
county. 1t was a strange pro-
cceding and when the board saw
that at the end of the year the
sheriff would have handsome
surplus to turn over to the
county,
If this money would have gone
into county treasury will the
Beacon explain why it has not
found its way there from the
Sheriff's pocket in the past?
Only S273.O2 were turned back
for the year 1901, and we are
officially informed that no mile
age was accounted.
The Beacon knows or could
have known that the sheriff does
not recognize his mileage fees as
part of the earnings of the office.
He figures the mileage perqui-
site of the Office to which he is
entitled for expenses. He does not
account for the fees he collects
on mileage. Instead ofreverting'
back to the county, Judging the
future by the past, the
mileage it would have
remained in Ellis pocket and the
county would have contributed
lust that much more to the
Armstrong cattle ranch or some
other line of his individual enter
prise in which he is engaged.

eOYACA HEARD FROM.
Rebels Captured Colombian "Gunbo at
From Government Forces.

Panama, Aug. 2l.-The government
gunbOat Boyaca, which left here July
20 to carry 300 soldiers to Aqua Dulce
and which was captured by the Co
lomban revOlutiOnists, Is now ut sea
flying the rebel flag. The rumors that
the BOyaca had been sunk are therefore
refuted.
Before she left here General Salazar,
governor Of Panama, ordered the COM
mander Of the BOyaca not to fire the
guns on that vessel because he feared
the bad condition Of the Boyaca would
endanger those on board II her guns
were discharged. Revolutionary re-
ports Of the capture of the gunbOat are
that she fought two hours before being
captured. The Boyaca's machinery
and keel We're In very bad condition.
She was built In 1888 at Wilmington,
Del, for the Colombian government.
The hopes Of the Conservatives Of
Panama are now centered In the steam
er which Senior COncha, ColOmb an
minister at Washington, Is supposed TO
have bought recently at San Francisco.
Should this vessel sail promptly for the
sthmus with good gunners on board 1t
is believed by government officials that
with the relnfOrcements expected Lere
from Barranquilla, General Salazar
need have no fear Of an attack from
the revolutionary forces under General
Herrera.
The steamer Palena reached port yes
terday from the south and her captain
reports having met the Boyaca flying
the flag of the revOlutiOnists Off the
island Of Tabogullla, about Is miles
from Panama.

Washington, Aug. 2l.-Signllicant Of
the northwestern movement for tarin
revision are the utteranccs Of Repre-
sentative. joel p. HeatwOle Of Mime
sofa, who has declined to be Il candi-
date for election, after eight years
service In congress and has returned 10
his editorial desk doubtless with the In
tentiOn of trying for the gubernatorinl
nomination In 1904. Copies Of the
Mortified News, which Mr.. Heatwolc
owns. have just been received here in
which he plants his political future on
the side Of revision.
'"The people of the northwest" he
says, "have become fully convinced that
they are paying excessive prices for
protected trusts goods which are be-
Ing sold cheaper in foreign markets
than at home. They are beginnllg to
realize that the foreign trade IF the
northwest. especially in its fond pro-
duets, will be diminished and is linble
to be destroyed unless some Of the tariff
schedules are modified"
Mr.. HeatwOle does not believe. how
ever, that the tariff will be changed
during the. remainder of the present
administration unless an extra ses sion
is called this fall for that purpose. The
regular short session would be too
short and the next long session begin
ming in December. 1908, would he too
near the presidential campaign for any
effective action.
Nearly every Republican newspaper
In Minnesota favOrs tariff revisi IN.
and a perusal Of their columns reveals
some unfortunate outcrOpping of the
geographical issue. They assert that
the present schedules are made in the
Interest of eastern manufacturers. and
suggest that the next tariff should be
more western in it's character. While
believing strongly In protection. they
want somewhat different application
from that now In force. and according
to all accounts. will begin to make them
selves felt in the national councils OF
the party. 1t will be recalled that
Representative Tawney of Minnesota
voted in The ways and means committee
for the BabcOck bill, and that lie had
the support in doing so of his own dele
cations, as well as many Republican
members from adjoining states. Mr..
HeatwOle's successor will be nominated
by the direct primaries which are to he
held on Sept. 16.

Oyster Bay, l.. l., Aug. 81 President
Roosevelt yesterday expressed his dis
approval Of faciional differences in the
Republican party. Cecil A. Lyon,
chairman of the Republican state COM
mittee of Texas. called upon him and
presented his side of the controversy
which has arisen among the II, publ
cans of the Lone Star state. The presi-
dent stated to him with the utmost EN-
phasis that no man has any uthOrity TO
speak for the president as regards
Texan matters and that he was TAX
Ing no side for or against any nan or
any faction among the Texas Re
publicans.
He said he was exceedingly i'm
patient with those Republicans who
went into factiOnal divisions. Mr..
Roosevelt believes that in the states in
which the Republican party is II mi
nority the credit for good work should
fall on those Republican leaders who
are able to make II good showing at
the polls, especially for congressional
candidates, and not to those who spend
their time plotting how they can get
delegates or receive offices. He told
Mr.. Lyon that he could explain this to
all Texas Republicans Of every faction.
The president also told him that II
ever in any such southern state II Re
publican congressman was elected it
would amount to far more In the prnS-
dents mind than anything which
could be done in the way of offices and
that he felt there was little need Of
recognition for an 0rga nizallOn which
existed only for Office and delegates.
1t was learned that the president told
Chairman BabcOck Of the Republican
congressional committee when the lat
ter visited him few days ago, that he
was profoundly discCntented with the
Virginia Republican organization for
not making a resOlute effort TO elect Re-
publican congressman from the western
districts Of Virginia. and that he felt
that an organization which did not try
to develop the fullest party strength ut
the polls had no claim upon him.
Mr.. Lyon was the presidents guest
at luncheon. the other guests being
George l.. Roberts. director of Their int !;
Frederick w. NOlls of New York. who
was secretary Of the American en-
bassy at The Hague peace conference.
and DR.. Albert A. Shaw, editor of the
Review Of Reviews.
Before leaving for New York, Mr..
Roberts said that he had discussed
Iowa politics with the president and
had informed him that the acti ms Of
the Republicans of Iowa on the tariff
was not Of a revolutionary character.
The Republicans of his state, he said
believed that certain changes in the
tariff We're necessary and thought 1t
would be better to make the movement
now than wait until later and be forced
into it.

We're badly injured by the explosion Of
two steel digesters in the Delaware

company yesterday.
The digesters were located in two

the building. There were two terrific

We're completely wrecked. One di-
gester was blown into the air and fell
to the ground go feet away.
An alarm Of fire was sounded and the
entire fire department of the city and n
large force of police We're soon IN the
ground and the work of rescue was be-
gun. Several of the wOrkmcn were
taken out unconscious. only to lie sitter
being removed to hospitals. The wreck

and the escaping steam made the work
Of rescue rather difficult.

We're mangled and burned by escaping
acid that flowed over their bodies from
the broken digesters. To add to the
horror of the disaster the wreckage
took fire, but after some difficulty the
fire department subdued the flames.
Steam was used in the digesters.
The officers of the company think that
too much steam was generated in them
and that this was the cause Of the ex-
plosion. The monetary loss is esti-
mated at S35.OOO.
At strike headquarters it Is claimed
that the output of coal at the wnshery
was very small and that so or 60 special
officers were required to protect the few
