MANILA, July 9.-Six men we're

and George Hughes, according to a
dispatch received at the war depart

Army officers familiar with Manila

the bay side to the height two miles
off on which fortifications are situ-

the fortifications are in the habit of
using the road to avoid the steep

and should be Cancelled" I'm our
opinion says the commission, this
line should be kept entirely free from

That the New Haven should divest
itself of the trolley lines, not because
the present ownership is in violation
