Preparations for Establishing an

Preparations for Establishing an
American Line Of Steamships.
New York May t6.-Preparations
are well advanced for the establish
ment of a line Of steamships to the
west coast Of Africa, a section OF the
globe which now has no regular steam
communication directly with New
York or any other American port.
Passenger travel to and from the west
coast ports now goes by way of Eng
.ish or German ports. from both of
which countries well equipped and
profitable lines, with frequent sail
ings, are maintained. Such freight
shipments as are made go either by
the same foreign and roundabout
routes, or on irregular sailing ves-
sells or occasional tramp steamships
from American ports.
1t is announced that within q very
short time the recently organized
american & West African Steamship
Company will begin the running of
its vessels. The route will be by way
If the Cape Verde Islands and Sierra
Leone and thence down the west
coast. 1t is believed that the new line
will be not only a successful freight
md passenger carrier in itself, but a
powerful influence in developing
american trade with the west oast
1t present this trade amounts to but
title, and it is believed that this con-
lition is the result, principally. OF
he lack of quick and regular commu-
nication with that territory.
