CONDITIONS IN GUAM
THE ISLAND CAN IN TIME BE.
COME sELF-sUPPoRTING.
Commander Sewell, the Naval Gov
ernor, Makes Suggestions for the
Benefit of the Inhabitants

Acting Secretary Darling has received a
report from Commander w. E. Sewell, ma
val commander OF the Island of Guam,
dated Agana, February 1S, in which he
makes a number Of recommendations and
suggestions for the benefit of the inhab-
itants of that island. He earnestly indorses
many of the recommendations Of his pre-
deeessor and the petition to Congress sent
by the people Of the island in December,
1901.
"I understand" says Commander Sewell.
that the unknown land of the island Is
now the property OF the United States, and
cannot be disposed of without the authority
Of Congress; and in framing laws for the
island recommend that provision for dis
posing of these lands by homestead law
and otherwise be made. and that all that is
obtained by sale be devoted to the islands
benefit, and so that continued possession
and title be dependent upon Improvement
and use.
II also suggest that a certain amount of
land for each household be exempt from
taxation and execution as long as it Is cul-
tivated.
with examples of a higher class of cul-
tivatton, good business methods and en-
ergy, and with judicious and substantial
aid for a few years from the home govern
ment, this island can in time pay all Its
own expenses, but at present the revenues
are barely sufficient to meet the running
expenses, although the native officials re-
ceive very low salaries, and the naval peo-
pie holding civil positions receive nothing
from the island government, while the
schools are closed and the school houses
are In ruin.
Children Kept in Ignorance.
1T seems a pity that the medical officers Of
the navy here should labor hard to save in
FAINT life while the children are forced to
grow up in ignorance, not even acquiring
a knowledge of English The want of a
revenue makes 1t necessary to keep up
taxes that should be reduced or abolished
To make a new government success It
will be necessary to have the salaries of
the civil governor and of his official es-
,tablishment as well as those of any officials
not resident of the island paid by the home
government. Also considerable amount
should be made Immediately available to
build and equip the school houses and
regular allowance made for their main
tenance.
1.-THE past and present Of this island are
not such as to develop a standard Of citi-
zenship that makes popular government a
success, but judicious action may make it
possible with those who are now children
AS custom and tradition means so much
with a people of this kind. / presume to
recommend that the present laws and Gus
toms of the island as we'll as the char
acter and needs of the people be we'll stud
led before making changes, so that what
is good may be preserved, and the changes
be as few as possible

Conditions Again.

ROME, April "a peaceful solution of
the strike appears to be probable. The city
has almost resumed it's normal aspect the
only difference being the absence of cabs.
Many pilgrims, especially Germans, have
arrived for the Easter functions. They
will be received in audience by the pope on
Monday. In more than three hundred
churches Holy Week services are proceed
ing without incident The people rushed
to see the sepulchres and especially ad-
mired the one in the church of the Ameri-
can College.

IMMIGRATION IN MARCH.
Largest Ever Known in History Of tn.
United States.


1.-THE immigration to the United States
during March was the largest ever known
in the history of the United States and
the same rate is keeping up during April"
said Commissioner General Sargent today.
Yesterday, for instance, the arrivals in
New York were 1900 aliens. How long this
rate will keep up I don't know. The out
look Is that the number of immigrants
this fiscal year will exceed the number Of
any year in the history Of this country
by many thousands. =
Chinese continue to reach San Francisco
from their eastern home During the month
of March forty-three Cinnamon seeking en-
trance at that port were detained. Thir-
teen were denied admission, and the cases
Of six are still pending.
Even the Mexicans are taking more kind
ly to this country than heretofore. During
March 2,235 Mexicans were examined at Ell
Paso Tex. and 4S2 were refused admission.
