The secretary of war transmitted to the SEN
ate to-day the report of the board of engineer
officers relating to a bridge across the Detroit
river at Detroit. The board are unanimously
of the opinion that the most complete solution
of the problem is the construction of a tunnel
under the Detroit river. They, however, en-
durse the bridge plan conditionally, conclud-
ing there will be no material difficulty in YES
sells passing through draws of 800 or 400 feet in
width at any time when it would be safe to
navigate the river, and that if tho right of way
is clearly and emphatically given to naviga-
ton, there could be no material or undue in.
jury to that interest. S{ti "-' $40 7.t5 4;
