sipnate to the government the route which they
may select, describing the same by the names of
the places where they will stop; and If at any
time they should wish to abandon the route so
designated, and adopt another, or make any ma
terinl change therein they will be able to do So,
by obtaining the previous consent OF the govern

9 The grantees, in consideration of the priv
| ileges which have been conceded to them, obli-

oes them to carry government dispatches, its

and defend the grantees in the full enjoyment
of the rights and privileges granted by this de-
cree and also oblgates itself not to grant to any
government, individual or company, the right to
transport passengers or freight across its Terri
tory or to navigate by steamers any OF its rivers
