FROM PARIS TO BERLIN.
Proposal to Connect the Two Capitals
BY Telephone.

Extensive preparations are being
made by Franco-German syndicate
to establish telephone line from Pa
ris to Berlin. For several months Sc
rious negotiations have been taking
place between these two cities, and
Brussels also, to unite the three capt
tails by telephone. The undertaking
is silently viewed in Berlin but arous-
es more or less disparaging remarks
in Paris, where it is said that the
scheme is entirely unnecessary. Brus-
sells will be, of course, the medium of
communication. The syndicate otfic-
ser in Paris assure the public that a
double wire will be used and that
every precaution will be taken to
provide rapid and regular service. The
wires are a composition Of bronze and
tin, and will have diameter of five
milimeters. 1t is said that with this
wire the resistance to the electric cur
rent will be greatly reduced. When
completed the line will be 1000 kilo-
meters in length, without any re-
transmission station, and will hence
be the longest in Europe.

This meeting would strongly urge
upon the British government that no.
thing short of the speedy rehabilita-
ton of the sugar industry can restore
prosperity to the West Indies and
British Guiana, and they respectfully
demand, as British subjects, the right
to compete in the home markets at
the natural cost of production
with sugar imported from foreign
countries, and urgently call upon her
maiesty's government as the only eff
fective remedy to take such steps as
will either prevent the importation of
all sugar on which export bounties
are given or annul by the counter
vailing duty all the advantages deriv-
ed from such export bounties.

THE RIGHT or SEA kCH.

II hostilities are inaugurated be-
tween the United States and Spain the
question of how far the two beliiger-
ents are privileged to search, under the
neutral flag for contrabands OF war
will cut considerable of figure. All
nations are particularly sensitive on
this point. and unless the searching
party is very circumspect he is likely
TO get his country into serious trou-
BILE.
Mr.. Frederic R. Couldert, who is an
authority on international law, refer
ring to the statement made two days
ago in the British House of Commons
by Sir Richard Webster, that neither
the United States nor Sapin, in the
event of war between the two coun-
tries, would be affected by the declara-
ton of Paris, and that the right Of
search by them for contraband Of war
undoubtedly exists, said on last Fri
day:
1T is plain, as stated by Sir Rich
ard Webster, that the rights of Spain
and of the United States, respectively,
as belligerents should not be affected
by the declaration of Paris. This is a
truism. They were neither of them
parties to the congress and cannot be
bound by its results. | cannot agree,
however, to the proposition that the
United States has lost any rights by
expressing opinions in the past upon
subjects now coming up in practical
shape.
1T is certainly an untenable propo-
sition to hold that the United States
have estopped themselves from the ex-
ercise of right which Spain continues
to possess because the former has ex-
pressed opinions against the latter in
favor of such supposed right
'As to the right of search itself. it
does not seem to be different in extent
from what it has heretofore been. AS
the neutral is bound to abstain from
giving aid to either side, lis ships are
prohibited from carrying contraband
of war, and in order to ascertain that
fact either belligerent is at liberty to
search the vessel hat carries a neu-

sells Fern. Mangrove and Bache are in

There is no recent information at
the State Department showing the ex-
act number Of Americans now in Cuba,

between 1900 and 5000. There is no
doubt in the minds of officials who
have had charge OF this matter that
