FRANCE.

The Telegraph Decentralization Of Rntes.
The Paris correspondent OF the London Post,
writing on the 9th instant, says
The Journal Onciel contains q report by yscouns
de Vougy. the Director General OF Telegrapns
france announcing the further extension Of teie
graphic communication throughout the empire and
also the further reduction OF charges. The diminu-
zion taking place In the tarln OF most foreign tee
graphic communication Is Of the utmost interest 20
the commercial world. The banker, the merchant
and the small trader win not hesitate 60 use the
telegraph more frequently when he can DO so al a
price which is no longer consideration. Whenever
reduced tartn on previous bign charges mas been
applied, the increase OF messages has always
ere long brought an increase OF revenue. Or

Will enjoy the same privileges although nothing
said on the subject in M. de Vougy' report We are
told that a great extension has taken place In the
means Of communication throughout the French
empire. and that Hugues apparatus has been sub
stituted for that OF Morse. The report refers
to the invention OF M. Meyer, an "empoys
FrancaiB" now working between Paris and
Lyons. THIS is called the system .Eac stmtls
and which system NJ. de Vougy considers
Is likely to be generally adopted under special cir
cumstanceS. the main interest in the report ID the
Indication given OF progressive reduction Of
charges not only In France, but In other continental
States, while the adoption OF uniform international
tariffs, taking into consideration distances,
VIII facilitate economic and simplify fntercommu-
nicaon all over the world. In the sex pose of the
Situation OF the Empire 1907 it is estimated that
the French teegrsphic establishment will during
the current year earn 947o.000f This includes the
foreign rs well as domestic traffic. We learn from
the same chapter on tele2raphs that the Chambers
voted for the national telegraph service O00
1853 and 15oo,0oO IN 1859. But II the French teie-
graph Is not yet sefremunerating 1t must be
remembered tnat for government purposes the wires
are taken to places where they scarcely required
for pubic use, and are almost a dead loss.

Cuba.

1t is now quite certain that the patriots
of Cuba have not only been Reinforced by
volunteers from the United States, CUBA
and the South American States, but that
twenty thousand stand of small arms and
several parks of field guns have also been
landed, and are now in use against the
Spaniards. The want of arms has been a
formidable stumbling block in the path of
the revolution. Men could be procured
bold, fearless, determined men-but they
had no weapons of proper character with
which to meet their adversaries in the open
field. In all the early fights of the con-
test not more than one-third of the patriots
were armed with guns. The balance had
pixies and knives and yet they have pro-
tracted the fight, and steadily gained
ground upon the royalists, notwithstand-
ing the latter were well armed and con-
stantly receiving accessions of men from
Spain. With the landing of small arms
and artillery upon the soil of Cuba will
begin new era of the war. From this
time forth the contest will be of a more
decided character, and the Spaniards will
be made to feel the skill and prowess of
men who have learned steadiness and cour-
age under the hot rain of musketry
and the deadly fire of rifles in the hands Of
experienced warriors. 1t will no longer
be skirmishes between regular troops and
volunteers, but mingled with the brave
Cubans will be soldiers from other coun-
tries, and the force thus strengthened will
press on until the flag of free Cuba waves
in triumph over the Moro. In addition
to this, the sun of recognition has arisen
above the horizon. Peru sends words of
greeting to struggling Cuba and Mexico
and Chill will soon join in the same cor
dial encouragement while in this country
the tide of sympathy is running with ac-
celebrated speed. De Roda will find Cuba
no bed of roses.
