Details of this, however, have not been completed. The Bull Insular Line will continue t{o carry the mail once a week to Santo Do- mingo and the Virgin I.lands.

Bull Insular Line Remodels s. s. Cath- erine for Inter Island Trade; To Start October 1. SEE BUSINESS GROWTH AHEAD. Company Believes San Juan Will be the Jobbing Center for all c£ the Nearby Islands. The Bull Insular Line oa Oet. 1 wiil improve its service to Santo Jominzo and the Virgin Islands by placing the S. S. Catherine in the inter-isiands ser. v.ce. The Catherine sailed from New York Tuesday for Santo Domingo with passengers and cargo and will arrive in San Juan the latter part of this month. The first sailing from Santo Domingo is scheduled for October Ist. The Catherine is a new steamer built about four years ago and it has been in the freight service between Porto Rico and New York since that time. When it was found undesirable to continue the Marina in the inter-islands serviee, the company looked cut for another ship and finally concluded, it was more advisable to remodel the Catherine than it was to purchase another vessel which, like the Marina, might prove to be ursatisfacto- ry for the service. More than $125,000 have heen spent on the Catherine to fix her with cabins, dining room, and other facilities for pas- sgngers. As altered there are accomo- ations for 60 first class passengers and -) steerage passengers. [ach room is furnished with electric fan, ice water No. 221 Adverti vertisement.
