PRICES HIGH IN GUAM.
Commander Dyer Urges Free Trade
With This Country.

Commander G. L. Dyer. naval governor of
Guam. In his annual report to the Navy De-
partment, says the natives are well pleased
with the sovereignty of the United States
and that there is no sentiment among them
for independent government. The natives.
he says, should have the full benedt Of their
intimate connection with the United States
and should be permitted to have their sup
plies from the United States free of customs
duty.
THE absence of line of freight-carryfng
craft between San Francisco, Guam and Ma
nila,' says the governor, throws all of the
trade of the islands into the hands of Japa-
nese. They have established stores, regular
lines of schooners. practically monopoiize
trade and fix prices. Under these conditions
living expenses for the natives are cruelty
high
Commander Dyer urges the necessity OF a
system of water works In order that present
bad sanitary conditions may be improved
The public school system. II Is reported, is
well established and Is attended with graft
flying results.
The governor recommends the establish
ing OF two lighthouses on the island. and
the advantage of the assignment of two
freight-carrying steamers ON the route be-
tween San Francisco and Manila, via Homo
lulu and Guam, is pointed out. Civil service
regulation fer the positions Ia the island de-
partments has been established.
