The coming battle royal between III
Spreekels and Hartman interests 70
the control of the freight traffic on tn
Pacific furnishes the San Diegan-su,
: with additional reasons why San Dieg,
should be made a regular port of entr,
by the steamships of the American,
Hawaiian line. both on their east anc
west bound trips. The Sun says:
1T is the announced intention of the
Spreckels interests through an ar
rangement just perfected with the
northumberland company and the
Tehuantepec railroad to ship every
thing possible over that route. For
years. past the Hartman interests.
/ through the Pacific Mail Steamship
line and the Panama railroad have
practically monopolized this traffic on
account of the Hawaiian steamers
having to make the trip around the
Horn.
With the Inauguration of the new
! line this will be all changed, and it
is estimated by the Tehuantepec Off
Gals that fully one month will be
saved
This means gigantic support for the
Hawaiian line, as the Spreckels In
terests are consuming a considerable
amount of material in Southern Cali
formal all the time and heretofore has
been shipped in by rail. Much of this
| will be used in San Diego and vi
entity
The Tehuantepec officials announce
that the line will be ready for trans
continental traffic in December, and as
three new steamers for the Hawaiian
line are under contract to be completed
at that, time, ten-day service is as
sureds for this port
