A First-Class Play.


"Under the Dome" the most pre-
tentious of the Carter plays will be
at the Central Opera House, Tues
day, March 9Th. AS a play it is
said to be far superior to anything
ever turned out by this successful
author heretofore. 1t is high class
naval comedy drama, absolutely free
from cheap sensationalism and
palpable appeals to the gallery. Not
q shot is fred throughout the play,
with the exceptions of the admiral 8
salute fred by tue U. S. man-of-war
in honor OF the flag ship Trenton.
The scenery is both effective and
abundant, and the play is being in
terpreted by competent cast.

coast. both running to Kingston. Jamaica.
From Kingston the line of the Direct West
India Gable Company goes by way of
Turks Island and Bermuda to Halifax,
whence the Commercial Cable Company's
land and cable lines afford communication
with New York
There are also double cables of the Cuba
Submarine Telegraph Company from ia
maica to Santiago de Cuba, thence to Glen
fuegos. thence to Batabano and then across
the island to Havana.
From Havana to Key West there are
four Western Union cables, which also
land at Punta Rassa, where the land lines
to New York begin
The other two lines of the West India
ana Panama Gable Company leave Porto
Rico from San Juan and Ponce and ex-
tend to ST. Thomas, whence a single cable
runs through the Lesser Antilles to Mar
Unique and on down to Trinidad and South
American points. The French West Indies
Gable Company can take message at
Martinique and send it to Porto Plata,
Hayti, thence to Cape Haytien and on by
several loops to Santiago de Cuba, where
it can be taken by the Cuba Submarine
Telegraph Company; or at Cape Haytien
the United States and Hayti Telegraph and
Gable Company can take the message and
send it by its direct line to New York.
All messages coming from Porto Rico
now have to pass the Spanish censor at
san Juan or Ponce: but from St. Thomas
messages can be sent by using the lines of
three different companies. at heavy eX-
pense. by way of Martinique and Hayti to
New York. and here they will come under
the scrutiny of the American censor who
stands guard at the New York end of the
line, at No. II William street.
Upon the capture of Porto Rico the cable
lines will fall into the hands of the United
States, and Rear Admiral Sampson will be
able to report to Washington either by way
of Jamaica and Halifax or by way of Mar
Unique and Hayti.

Messages Transmitted.

The interest in the forthcoming opera
tons in Porto Rico and Cuba is heightened
to an unusual degree by the anxiety of
the public over the question whether the
news received from those islands can be
depended upon as accurate. AT Porto Rico
Santiago de Cuba and Havana there are
Spanish censors of all dispatches, who ex-
ercise not only only vigilance, but undoubt-
eddy flavor what is allowed to be trans
mtted with a strong Castilian tinge. The
American censors at Key West and New
York also take good care that messages
which do not meet official approval are
suppressed.
The means by which information comes
from the West Indies by wire are numer
Gus. There are four lines from Porto Rico
all under control of Spanish censors. The
West India and Panama Gable Company's
cable crosses the islands, one line extend

and the other from Ponce. on the south
