landed at Key West on the Sd instant, and
on the 4th twenty miles were paid out and
attached to the buoy in one hundred and
thirty fathoms of water. The cable feet
then proceeded to the Cuban coast, laid
the shore end, and commenced paying out
on the afternoon Of the 9Th, and reached
the buoy at o'clock on the 7th, after
using all the Cuban and nineteen miles of
the Punta Rosa cable-one hundred and
seventeen miles in all. While preparing
to splice the two ends at the buoy at 7
o'clock on the 7th, the cable parted half
mile from the Narva, and the whole of

forts were still being made to secure it,
