Prof. M. E. Cooley

Will Not Banished to the Island of Guam.

In the eastern part of the Pacific ocean, two-thirds of the way from Honolulu to the Philippines lies the island of Guam.
Out of the beaten track of commerce and in communication with the rest of the world only three or four times a year, it fell an easy prey to a United States warship during the recent unpleasantness. In fact the warship brought the news of war.
The Spanish governor when he saw the noble ship sail into his harbor, courteously sent word that he would be glad to fire them a salute, but unfortunately he was out of powder.
It was to this out of the way, or out of the world place, that the good ship Yosemite was ordered last week and as Prof. M. E. Cooley is chief engineer of this ship, it was at first supposed that he was to be sent out of communication with the world at large, except at rare intervals.
The Argus is happy to state that Prof. Cooley is not to be thus banished as his orders have been changed and he will remain as one of the chief engineers at the League Island navy yard.
