posed law
The House bill carried a multitude OF pro-
visions under which man could he thrown into

THE RIGHT TO SEND CABLE DISPATCHES.

Now that Admiral Dewey has control OF the
Manila end OF the cable TO the Philippines. and Ad-
mral Sampson has picked UP the Santiago END OF
the Haytian cable interesting and novel ques-
ton arises as to the obligations OF the companies
owning these cables. The point has been made
that the companies operating under franchises
granted nv neutral governments. may feel Obliged
or may be instructed by their respective govern
ments refuse forward over those parts o, ther
lines which are in neutral territory messages sent
by Admiral Dewey or Admiral Sampson for trans
mission 70 Washington II IS said that dispatches
from Dewey have thus been held up by the Brit
ish operators at Hong Kong. On the other hand, II

10 allow the transmission OF all messages from
SAMPSON as soon as the cable shall have been re-
the operators. ,.,..
