REPAIRING THE CABLE.
Communication Soon TO he Established
with Commodore Dewey.

With Commodore Dewey.
New York, Aug. ia special To the
Tribune from Washington says: Gable
communication with Manila will prob
ably be r~e-established within the next
day or two, II the efforts OF this gov
eminent, supported by those of Great
Britain and Spain. are successfully di-
rected, in order that further bloodshed
may be averted and the suspense re-
lieved. 1t is believed that Admiral
Dewey has been in possession of the
Philippine cable, although ne was I'M
able to secure the legal terminus of the
line, which is located within the city
OF Manila, and through the restrictions
placed upon his operations he was I'M
able To secure a response to their sig
nails from the Hong Kong terminus.
This restriction made necessary the
frequent sending of dispatch boats
back and forward to Hong Kong, and
recently the severed end of the cable
has been buoyed and no attention paid

American forces, by the terms of the
protocol, are in possession of the Phil
ippines from an international stand
point, whether they actually hold the
municipality or not, and as hostil1ties
have formally been terminated and the
requirements OF neutrality abolished,
all obstacles to the free use of the cable
have Keen removed.

Tor the last three and one-half months
of1cials in Washington will be harassed
by the gravest anxiety regarding the
occurrences In that vicinity. The last
news from Manila was dated ten DAYS
ago and described the fierce fighting at
ala on July 81. when the Americans
held their position which had been as
saulted. Aug. 3 there was cannonading
all day. The Monterey arrived Aug. 4
with three transports of the fourth ex-
petition and at the same time the dis
patch vessel left preparations were be-
ing made for a general assault upon the
city.
IL was known that General Merritt
was only awaiting these reinforce
ments To demand the surrender and to
give notice OF a naval bombardment.
Unde these circumstances "precaution
was taken last Friday to inform Ad-
miral Dewey and General Merritt with
the least possible delay OF the formal

New York, Aug. 15.-The Rough Rid

Roosevelt and Fighting joe Wheeler
they have reached Montauk Point. They
came on the Miami, which, with the
Gate City, the st. Louis, the Vigilancia
and the M~attowan. lie at anchor off
shore now with their rigging lights
plainly visible from camp. As soon as
the Miami was sighted the quarantine
physician, DIR. Magruder. put off to her
in his tug, the Pulver. Colonel Roose-
welt met him at the rail. With a hearty
handshake he assured DR.. Magruder
that both he n his command were in
first-class condition.

said, and | have not had a pain since

too, and his son, Lieutenant Wheeler.

khadi uniform, much stained and dis
colored, but there was a wholesome
bronze on his face and hands, and IL he
lost some flesh since he went away he
was not any the worse for il. General
Wheeler, too, will pass the doctors with

There was a cheer from the Roosevelt

of questions as to when they were to be
allowed to go ashore.

CHEEKY response, but bright and early

Colonel Roosevelt and the doctor
walked up down for a while, and the
commander of the Rough Riders talked
about his trip.

A kN0TTY QUESTION.
An Incident of the FrightfuI La Bour-
gogne Disaster.

gogne Disaster.
Ottawa, Aug. 15.-There is now engag-
ms the attention OF the department OF
Justice for Canada a case which is an
outcome of the recent Bourgogne disas-
ter of Sable island. n American
fishing schooner Florence, from Glou-
cester, Mass, some days after the wreck,
picked up the body Of Candida Diaz, a
Spanish passenger. The captain exam
med the body and found upon il letters
and paper and checks 10 a large
mount. among them drafts on Paris for
etween 100000 and 300, 900 francs. The
captain of the schooner sank the body,
appropriated the papers and subse-
quently sailed into the port Of Halifax,
n. $. The Spanish vice consul there
laid claim to the papers and checks as
the property of the representatives OF
the deceased and has asked tho customs
department here TO detain the vessel I'M
I'll the papers are given up to him.
There are many interesting questions
arising I'm this case. In the first place.
II the goods of the enemy on board a
neutral vessel are liable to seizure. the
American captain may claim tina the
entire property, in whatever form it
may have been found upon the body of
DiaZ, belongs to him.
Apart from this, he may claim that
he Is entitled to salvage and that he is
not called upon TO give up anything of
value which he had taken from the
body Of the dead man until It is prop
erly determined by a judicial proceeding
TO what amount of salvage he is en-
titled. Although domiciled in Spain at
the time of his death, Diaz may be said
10 have died upon a ship registered in
France. and so died within French
Jurisdiction and the property found
upon him would be in point of law
within the Jurisdiction of. Paris.
