SAN FRANCISCO. Dec. 21.-san

direct steamship communication be-
tween this port and Manila. The San

the Pacific Mail Steamship Company to
run their vessels to Manila. AS an al
tentative 1t has been suggested that a.
line of steamers be established to con-
meet at Hong Kong with the Pacific
Mail and carry Philippine frelghts.
The present arrangement is unsatis-
factory to the merchants at Manila
who do business with San Francisco.
Goods in transit which have been
stored in Hong Kong have been broken
into while in the storehouses. The
Manila merchants. subjected to delay
and loss for which there is no redress.
have written letters to San Francisco
threatening to do business solely with
places connected with direct lines to
Manila.
