The Havana Cable Cut.

Especial to The Baltimore SUM-
Tampa, Fla, April 24.-The United
States authorities have u the Ha-
vana cable. The cut was made about
ten miles out of Havana, and the
southern enc of the cable is now on the
MangrOve, which was recently con-
verted into an auxiliary cruiser.
This gives the United States govern
ment exclusive use of the cable. 1t is
intended as soon as the blockade of
CienfuegOs is established to cut the
cable between that port and Jamaica,
thus entirely Severing telegraph cO1n-
municatiOn between cuba and the out
side world, except such as is sent
through the United States censorship.
This censorship has already been
rigidly established at Key West. The
government has seized the cable office
there and has discharged all operators
except one, who has been put under
oath not to reveal matter sent from
The fleet to Washington. Besides this.
he is closely watched to prevent his
communicating information to CORE
spondents.
A detail of marines is constantly on
guard at the cable office. 1t is said
the censorship will be extended to
Punta Gorda, Fla.
Orders have been issued by the nav
department to prevent the newspaper
boats from following the fleet, thus
doubling the difficulty Of obtaining ac-
curate information, as we'll as greatly
delaying it.
Colonel Macarthur, chief of General
Wade's staff, today inspected the

present the Olivette. Florida and Mar
garet are lying here. As soon as the
Mascotte arrived his afternoon she

oughly examined. Colonel Macarthur
expressed himself as satisfied with
these vessels for transport purposes.
A large number of refugees came
over from Key West on the Mascotte,
swelling the colony already here.

department Of the gulf, arrived here
from Key West on the Masco1e. He

for an additional room to be used

Houses and Churches divided
against themselves cannot endure,
and parsons cannot, certainly, lead us
to harmony before they restore har-
mony in their own conduct, hearts
and consciences. There must be the

logical or secular, before God reigns
on earth

No wonder then that laymen are
puzzled, and in this community
wander around from church to
chapel, and from chapel to church,
to Gods own Temples in the groves,
or under the vaulted dome Of
Heaven, to search unavailingly for
that "peace which passeth under
standing" that peace which our
pastors so glibly promise, but which
they themselves apparently find so
difficult to obtain even in their per-
sonal relations to their focks.
Where, too, are that love and charity
which they teach us should be para
mount in our lives? Have they no
share in it as our teachers7
