one Of the best and favorably known
railroad men in Mexico and the United
States. The traffic department. the
money-maker of the concern, is repre-
scented by W. r. Ryan. the general traf-
fie manager. man of great ability in
his line and whose name is well known
in all commercial circles of the world.

San Diego Will have within a couple
of months the ships Of the American
Hawaiian Steamship Company calling
here three times monthly or their way
north. discharging freight which Will
immensely benefit this port and the
country tributary. San Diego business
men will in the very near future be
routing their goods via Tehuantepec,
and in so doing will profit by the quick
/ time and the low freight rate. AT
present San Diego has no wharfage to
speak of. When we have three or
four steamers in the harbor ready to
discharge their cargo. delaying them
means considerable loss of time and
money. This latter instance was DEM
onstrated here only a few weeks ago.
when we had about four vessels to be
discharged but which could not be
done at the same time on account of
not having sufficient wharfage. Wharf
age is badly needed for San Diego har-
Dor. if we intend to spread ourselves
commercially and in that case our
business men will certainly see that
this matter will be remedied.
THE American-Hawaiian people have
already ordered division in their
fleet. the majority of their steamers
plying on the Pacific. The Atlantic
will have less vessels than we, on ac-
count of them having the shortest
route.
Towards the end of next year, tho
Tehuantepec road, on the full compile
ton of their harbor works, will be
ready to contract with any domestic
or foreign steamship line to handle
their freight. Within a few months the
Tehuantepec National Railway Com
pany will have one of the busiest roads
in the world handling freight and pas
sengers.''
SHERIDAN LEAVES TODAY.
The transport Sheridan will leave for
the Coast today in tow of the tug Slo-
cum and the transport Buford, both OF
which vessels are here as a result of
ber's Point. The Slocum has taken on
a deck load of sacked coal for the re
turn trip and is prepared to do the
greater part of the towing of the Grip
pied transport, which will be unable to
help herself in any way, her engines
being still out of commission.
A comparison of the chart of the
Oahu coast recently issued and that
used by Captain Pea body on his dis
astrous trip from Manila shows that
the grounding of the transport was due
to errors in the old chart, the safe
water line extending much further
from the coast line in the new chart
and including that part where the
Sheridan grounded as inside the safety
limit. According to the old chart there
was deep water where the Sheridan
found her reef
The departure of the three army YES

with the exception of the steamer Iro-

ditiOns there during the past few
weeks, when the navy wharves have
been crowded with shipping, making
that one of the busiest sections of the
waterfront
During their enforced stay here, Cap

larged the number of their Honolulu
friends very greatly and their depar-
ture will be regretted in Honolulu.
