GROWING SERIOUS.
All Foreign Cables from Cuba Cut and Lane
Loops Soon Will Be.

Copyright 1898 by The Associated Press
Off Santiago de Cuba June 3. by the
dispatch boat Wanda. via Kingston,
June 4-The last cable strands bind
ing Cuba to the outside world were cut.
this morning, by the Adra, a cable
vessel conveyed here by the Unite
States dispatch gunboat Dolphin. This
black sea crab worked all day along
the coast. and it's powerful claws a.
length brought up the barnacle clus-
tered cable strands and snapped them,
and, tonight, Cuba is issolated.
The first cable picked up was that
running to Kingston. 1t was found
early this morning. The coast loop
connecting Santiago de Cuba and
Guantanamo was then cut Proceed
ing to Guantanamo the cable vessel
finally grapped and severed the Hay
ten cable.
This ends the cable cutting opera
tons begun a month ago, when the
Marblehead and the Window lost five
men in a fight off Cicnfuegos, where
three cables were crippled and several
hundred Spaniards We're killed by
shellse from the warships. Afterwar
the St. Louis and the Wampatuck cut
the San Juan de Porto Rico cable al
Santiago de Cuba.
The strands cut, today, We're the only
ones remaining except a few coast
loops, and these will probably be scv-
cred in short time. The cutting oi

gents.
Therefore, in the event Of American
troops landing in Cuba. the absence %

The fire of the great guns continued,
