"native quarters"

SAT 23 DEC 1939
Typhoon passes within 100 miles of Guam, M.I.; although the gale-force winds cause little damage to Navy property, they cause widespread crop and property damage in the native quarters.

U.S. freighters Explorer (detained at Gibraltar since 9 December) and Oakwood (detained there since 20 December) are released by British authorities.
