THE BRITISH CABLE TO HAWAII.
Permission of the United States Is
Asked-French Opposition.

New York, Nov. 27.-The Washington
correspondent of the Herald is authority
for the following:
1t is the desire of the British govern
ment that the United States shall auther-
ize British company to land a cable on
one of the Hawaiian islands, this cable
going to Canada and Australia.
Such authorization is opposed by the
French government, on the ground that
the laying of a cable with British capital
would place Great Britain in control of a
telegraph system reaching around the en-
tire world and in the event of war. be-
fore message could be transmitted, the
British governments consent would have
to be obtained. In case Great Britain
were engaged in hostilities, diplomat
pointed out, it would be practically inn
possible for France to send message
through British territory, except that
which connects France and Cape Cod
Mass.
NJ Patenotre has made a representa-
ton to Secretary Sherman who said nc
did not think it would make much dlt-
ference This government could use it ii
it desired and in case of necessity an op-
position line could be established. The
French officials, however, point out that
in case of war by the United States The
government itself would be handicapped
bv the cable under British control.
Information has been received here that
agents of the British company interested
in the cable enterprise and the consu
general of Great Britain in Honolulu ar'
making an effort to secure a CONCESSION
from the Dole authorities and the Unitee
States that the British company be al
low ed to land cable
Mr.. sewall, the diplomats representa-
tive of this government is opposed to The
grant of such concession. 1t is lmpos
siblc for the Dole authorities to give per
mission to lay cable under the reciproc
itv treaty between Hawaii and the Unit
