AND NOVA sCoTfA-oSLY THE UNITED STATES
DIRECT CABLE IN ORDER.
The following statement was sent out from
the Office OF the Western Union Telegraph Company last
evening:
The cable lines between Nova Scotia and Newfonnd-
land connecting with the Atlantic cables az Hearts Con-
tent broken and consequently communication with
Europe by the AngoAmerican line is temporarily inter
rupted. Unfortunately fault was discovered IN tne
French cable 200 miles from Brest time ago. which
has not yet been repaired The United States Direct
Cable working. and is the only line open TO the
public but will be immediately taken 70 re-
pair the cable between Nova Scotia and Newfoundland
and il is hoped that the Interruption OF communication
with Hearts Content will not be OF long continuance.
on inquiry the office OF the Company, was further
stated that the cable somewhere between North
sydney the terminus OF the western Union lines, ana
Placentia, short distance this side OF Hearts
Content, where the deep sea cables arc landeO,
at about o'clock last evening. There are two
lines from North Sydney to Placentia direct, one
OF wbich is $50 and :he other $50 miles
long; also two lines from North Sydney to ST. Pierre,
and the same number from the latter place to Piacea
Both these and OF the direct wires above meu-
toned broke few days ago. since which time
vessels havc been engaged in graphing for
the broken ends No test had been made up 10
midnight last night by which the exact location OF the
ae break could be ascertaned The French Cable broke
about 200 miles this side OF Brest April 20, and has
not yet been repaired. Thus all communication with
Europe except by the Direct Cable, las been temporarily
suspended.
A SUCCESSION OF IN INTERRUPTIONS.
The startling fact came out last night,
through tho operations Of tho Associated Press that all
five Of the ocean cables under the control OF the
ABglo-American and Western Union Companies
are broken and that telegraphc connection
With Europe IL maintained solely by
tho rival lne the Direct Cable Company.
Three OF the cables between Nova Scotia and NewfOund
land are order The french cable is broken some
200 miles from Brest and faults exist In the Others All
cable business is thus necessarily transferred 70 the
Direct Cable-an unfortunate circumstance for the
Western Union in the pending telegraph war
The Western Union and AnGl0-American author
ltc,, however, state that I'm twenty or thirty days
they have all their lines again in good working order
Their rivals naturally think that ii will take longer At
a late hour last night the Associated Press notice
that consequence OF these sudden arrangements, all
cable news would be three hours later than usual.
