May 1.-THE manager here of the French
cable company explicitly denies the state.
ment that dispatch filed by Captain Cot
ton of the United States auxiliary cruiser
Harvard was delayed twenty-four hours
at st. Pierre, this is land. The manager ex-
plains the matter as follows:
Captain Cotton presented himself at the
office of the company at ST. Pierre and
asked by what cable line messages were
transmitted to Washington When he was
informed that such messages went by way
of Fort De France and Hayti, he refused
to give us his dispatch because a Spanish
torpedo boat was at that moment at Fort
De France. Not taking into account pro-
fessional secrecy he told the American con-
sui, in the presence of NJ. La Lung, that
under these circumstances he preferred TO
give his dispatches to the English COM
pany in spite of the delay of twSntyfour
hours to which they would have to submit
on account of the accumulation of business
on the lines of that company.
