TO COMMERCIAL LINES.
Change in Inter-Island Water TrafHic of
 Philippines.


 Washington, Sept. 6-The Philippine Government has decided to discontinue the operation of the seventeen coast guardships and turn the inter-island water trafflc of the Government over to commercial lines of steamers. To ac- complish this purpose, specifications have been prepared and within few days proposals will be invited, both in the Philippines and this country. for carrying the mails and Government passengers and supplies over twenty one routes in the islands.
 This plan is practically return or the method of transportation in vogue under Spanish rule in the islands. When the United States established civil gov ernment in the Philippines. the seven teen coast guardships were purchased and put into commission. Previous to this, four commercial companies owning lines of steamers conducted the busi' nes.
 Some time ago complaint was made to the Philippine Government by the own CTS of merchant steamers that their business had been ruined through the use of Government ships. The civil Governor recognized the complaint to the extent of appointing commission to investigate the conditions of the inter-island traffic, and the action de cided upon is in accordance with the recommendation of this committee.
