Tho many cable lines and the result.
ant competition have brought the cost
of communication between New York
and London down to q fairly low fg-
ure, 25 cents per word, but when one
tries to reach moro remote parts OF the
world, where the line is controlled by
single government or company, or
where there is little business to sup.
port 1t, the cost Of sending messages
amounts to alarming figures. TO send
10 words from New York to Manila, for
Instance, cost $3.50, or 81 10 per word
beyond London. This is the commercial
rate. Newspaper dispatches go for
about half this sum, but, even 60, the
cost Of bringing a column Of news from
the Philippines amounts up to nearly
four figures. Even from point 90 near
as Curacao, which became for short
time the center Of news interest, the
commercial rate by the cheapest route
is 81 98. These two samples will give
fair intimation ofthe immense Sums be-
ing expended by the newspapers in
gathering information about ths war.

There was much uneasiness when

They explained that they had gotten
farther away than they thought and
could not return Sunday, 80 they de-
cided to make tour Of investigation

They are now ccnfned to their quar-.
