Pacific Possession.
Yn Report TO the War Department
Gen. Wheeler Describes Its
PeculiBrities and
Resources.

While Old Glory has tioated from the
hagstaif OF Guam since 1898 The PEG
pie of this country have received bat
seant information regarding this little
island possession for the reason that
but little was known Guam, how
ever, is not without interest and this
fact is impressed upon MS by a study OF
the report OF Gen. Joseph w Wheeler,
recently made to the war department,
In which he gives much interesting in
formation about the island, together
with the first accurate map OF il ever
published in this country, the work OF

places where paths extend from coast

and a fine view of the northern third
of the island is obtained from its sum-

and most of the population along the
west coast. The natives have cleared
