A Denial.
The statement forwarded by the As
sociatei Press in a Boston dispatch
dated August 10Th, regarding the ocean
cables, is denied intoto by the 7tlc
grapher, a newspaper of this city. The
dispatch in question stated that the los;
of both the English cables last yeai
and expenses and Inconvenience result
ed in a stupendous blunder in picking
up and breaking the cable Of 1860
when the cable Of 1866 was the broken
one. The defect, the dispatch also
stated, was near the Newfoundland
coast instead of at mid ocean, where
the repair steamer was graphing. The
Telegrapher says that at the time Of the
break in the 1866 cable it was located
about seventy miles from Newfound
land, which is certainly not mid ocean
and that a mistake in locating the
faults in the cable with the present in
struments is impossible. The repair
steamer grappled one end of the broken
cable and brought it aboard, when a
gale came on and the recovered end
was again lost. The 1865 cable was
raised by mistake, but was dropped and
was broken some time afterward neal
the same place and from the same
cause as the other cable, abrasion on
the rocks. To avert this in future the
route Of the cables was changed when
they were repaired this spring. The
paper adds: These are the facts. We
have no interest in the cables or the
cable companies more than any other
individual, but such misrepresentation
as are contained in. the above dispatch
and circulated with the Endorsement o.
the Associated Press, should be correct
ed and the truth made known. The
purpose of the dispatch is evident, but
with that we have nothing to do.
