ANOTI-.TER TELF,GHAPHIC PROJECT.

A LIN H TO HAVANA, YUCATAN, MEXICO, TEHUANTEPEC,

NICARAGUA, PANAMA, AND SAN FRANCISCO. •
The success of the Atlantic cable will encourage the estab-
lishment of other lines, with more or less submarine wires,
to other portions of the globe. Among these is the proposed
route from Key West (Fla.) to Havana; thence to Yucatan
across tr, Tehran tepFc, aad down to Panama, and ultimately
to San Francisco.
In 1856 Horace B. Tebbets, Esq., of this city, well known
from his pioneer efforts in the building of the Newfoundland
telegraph, visited Florida to obtain from the legislature of
teat state the charter of a company to establish a tele-
graphic connexion between Key West and Havana. He did
not succeed in getting through a special act for that pur-
pose, but achieved the passage of a general law, broad and
liberal enough to encourage him in his efforts. Mr. Tebbets
then went to Havana, and enlisted the co-operation of
Messrs. Torresas and Same, and another gentleman, all large
and eeterprising capitalists, through whom application was
made to the Governor-General of Cuba for the necessary
grant, covering a period of 25 years. The Governor-
General approved the project in April, 1857, and the papers
were thea sent to Madrid to receive the royal ratification,
This would undoubtedly have been given long ago but
for the fact that the Spanish Government preferred to wait
for the successful completion of the Atlantic Telegraph line,
which was then a matter of serious doubt. The main advan-
_

take to be derived by Spain from the Cuban telegraph was
considered to depend on the triumph of the great ocean en-
terprise, as Madrpd then he brought in complete tele-
graphic communication v.ith Havana. It is supposed that
the royal assent will he given immediately after the Atlan-
tic line has been put into practical planation, and that Mr.
Torresa?, who has been at Madrid for some time past to for-
ward the interests of the Cuban Telegraph Company, will
return to Havana with the ratified document some time in
Sept. next, when the cerapany will be formed and go to
work.
The distance from Key West to Havana is only 70 miles,
and the cost of laying the cable, it is said, will be about 500
dollars a mile. The cable will be of the " three-threaded"
pattern.- that is, with three insulated conductors. The
Magnetic Telegraph Company have agreed to build a branch
from Savannah, Ga , to key West, so that at no distant day
New York can be put in telegraphic connection with Ha-
vana. The advantages of such a line to shippers and traders
In New York and elsewhere are too obvious to need pointing

out.
The same company proposes to run wires from Havana to
Cape Antonio, the extreme westerly point of Cuba; thence
across the channel to Yucatan, a distance of about 40 miles,
where it will connect with a line already built to the city of
Mexico. They also propose to extend the wires from Yuca-
tan to Tehuantepec on the Pacific, about 400 miles, and
total] froim Tehuantepec to Panama, about 1,000 miles,
passing through Nicaragua, thus affording telegraphic com-
munication with the United States and Cuba for the steam-
boat and railroad companies at Panama, the steamboat com-
pany of Nicaragua, and to all ships that may choose to send
messages from those points.
Lastly, this company propose to construct a line from
Tehuantepec to Santiago, where there is already a line to
San Francisco, 300 miles north. The distance from Tehuan-
tepee to Santiago is not far from 2,000 miles. The line will
pass through a country pretty well settled.
We will not undertake to say how soon, if ever, all this
will be accomplished, but it is all within the purview of the
company,--New York Journal of Commerce
