The Attempts at its Recoverable News
OF the Dacian-Sad Bungling I'm the
Laying OF tho West India Cables.
KINGSTON JAM, June 10, 1872.
The steamer International has again returned
into port without any tidings OF the lost Colon
cable, to recover which at least dozen attempts
have been made The whereabouts of the Dacan
Is not known at all, and people here begin to de-
spair OF the cable being ever found This feeling Is
deepened by the news that the brig Venture, from
Demerara to Halifax had picked up on the 9th Of
May, adrift in the Gulf Stream, buoy, to which
was attached 700 fathoms OF chain and about
five hundred fathoms Of telegraphic cable.
There is no doubt that 1t Is part Of the
lost CABLE which has been swept far away from the
latitude in which search is being made for 1t.
Study Leigh, the great telegraph engineer, who
has Just touched here on his way to the Pacific for
the purpose OF laying down several new lines, re-
ports that new enterprise has been entered upon
for laying down cable between Colon and st.
Thomas, and that 1t will be carried out and in
working order long before the connection between
Colon and Jamaica can be made. The cable, he
says has already been manufactured, and Is only
nectldn and then TO be paid out. This will
interfere materially with the interest OF
the Panama and West India Company,
is upon the line to connect Jamaica with
Colon. To say the least, the laying out OF these
West India cables has been sad bunge. IL Is over
two years since the first section was completed
namely, the connection between Havana, by way
OF Batabano and santiago de Cuba, and between
Santiago and Jamaica, and up to the present time
the work is so incomplete that opposition has been
excited in the minds OF other capitalists who, per-
ceiving that good enterprise is being damaged by
a sort of "know-how- not to-do-it' system OF man.

HAssLER, CALLAO, May 81, 1872.
After a short and pleasant run from Juan Fernan-
dez we dropped anchor in Valparaiso harbor at
daybreak on May 5. The bay is shallow road
stead entirely open to the north, and strong winds
from that quarter are apt to do much damage to
the wharves and shipping. The business portion Of
the city is built on small strip OF land lying be-
tween the water and the bases OF the hills while
many Of the private residences are perched on the
sides OF the latter at various elevations that 1t
Is not unusual to have to ascend one hundred feet
or more by narrow winding paths In order to reach
them. The streets are kept in a state OF scrupu
lous cleanliness, which contrasts remarkably with
those OF our principal cities, and the common spec
taclc OF policemen enforcing municipal regulations,
and actually assisting in the removal OF waste ma
terals from the highways was one calculated to
excite doubt, even in the mind OF the most ardent
lover OF home Institutions to the advantage Of
Board of Health over an lntendente. The public
buildings and the business edifces. are many OF
them handsome, and are generally well and SUBJ
stantIay built. There is less of the common ten
dency OF South American cities to spread out later
ally owing, no doubt to the very small portion OF
land which has been redeemed from the sea by
the gradual rise OF the coast 1t Is now generally
believed that such rise has been takin place for
long WHILE whether from a subsistence OF the
oceanic area, from the expansive power OF i'm
prisoned vapors from the contraction OF neighb0r-
ing portions Of the earths surface, from tidal
waves In an internal igneous fluid, or from any
or all OF the numerous forces which have been
assigned as causes by geological spectators.
Shells Of recent or existing species are said to

The fbustering steamer Edgar Stewart, which
escaped from the United States steamer wyoming

the 14th OF May, arrived at Aspinwall on the 2lst.
After escaping from her pursuers she made an at
tempt to run into the coast Of Cuba, where she
landed boat with four men; but, having been
seen by Spanish gunboat, she again ran away in
the direction Of Jamaica. She was fired at several
times, but her great speed enabled her to escape
capture and reach Aspinwall. The boat from the
Edgar Stewart reached Port Maria, on the north
side Of Jamaica, with the four men. who had been
for three days without food water. On the arrival
OF the Edgar Stewart at Aspinwall the Cubans on
board rose against the captain because he insisted
upon sailing for an American port, as he had been
directed to do by the United States Vice Consul,
while they were determined to land in Cuba. The
