THE ATLANTIC TELEGR, ,PH CABLE Vas II Slammed
By Destgaf-An extraordinary article appears in
the New York Commercial Advertiser in relation t,
the breaking of the Atlantic submarine cable 1t
is directly intimated that this telegraphic dis-
patches from Vaenta stating that the wire was
broken in consequence of the application of the
brakes by tho engineer were prepared by persons
in the interest OF the company, and not to be re-
lied upon.
We are then told that. on inquiry it will be
found that The cable broken on grpass il having
become apparent shat the rapidity with which the
lateral currents were running Off with the wire
would use up the line before the vessel WAS one,
third the way across and that this alternative was
adopted uueEr the conviction that it was better to
lose 300 miles of the wire than to proceed in the
face of the certainty that the whole Of it would be
lost in mid-ocean. 1t is broadly asserted that the
directors have net told the truth and some very
pertinent questions put to them which it will
be difficult to pass over without answering If MI
this be true thenthat is to say if the lateral cur
rents offer serious obstacle in the success of
the plan, what becomes of those ''deep sea-sound.
ings" reports, which aver that obstacle would be
met with on this score. and that the wire would
sink to its bed in still water, undisturbed by any
influence whatsoever?
Tho significance Of this article consists not in the
fact that 1t appears as newspaper editorial but in
the well grounded suspicion that it is the product
of some person on the other side, whose position
qualified him to write understandingly upon the
snhiect.
