BIG MANIKA ORDER.

The Bureau of Posts in Manila plans to improve its cable service by the purchase this month of 300 miles of submarine cable lines costing about Pesos 50,000.

The new cable line will be used to reinforce the existing Manila- Cebu-Iloido line. It would make possible the ending of more messages within a given time, and certainly make the transmission more efficient. There is a general complaint from Philippine bust- ness men that service is poor.
