FROM NEW YORK.

New York, IL.
The supposed fault or imperfection in
the Cuba cable which had interrupted COM
munication during several months, proves to
have been complete break. Mr.. VIM.
Macintosh, the Western Union Telegraph
Co.'S foreman Of construction and repairs in
New York City, found the trouble few days
ago nearly mile and a half from the shore
where he buoyed the parted ends and effected
the necessary repairs by inserting 800 feet of
new cable. The break showed that it had
been made by an axe, doubtless, in order to
clear some vessels anchor which it had
fauled.
