BELLIGERENTS MAY
 CUT THE CABLES
Mir. Balfour Intimates That Exigen- cies of War Would Justify
 the Act.

LONDON, April .6.-In the House of Commons to-day MT. Balfour, replying to questions on the subject, said he had reason to believe the Spanish Gov ernment intended to limit itself to the requirement. of auxiliary cruisers. like those proposed to be employed by Ger many in 1870. Respecting interference with cables he pointed out that article b of the Paris convention of 1884. to which Great Britain. Spain and the United States were parties, provides that belligerents in time of war were free to act with regard to cables as if the convention did not exist.
 I am not prepared said MT. Bal four, to deny that belligerents, on the ground of military exigencies, would be Justified in interfering with the cables between territory of an opposing party and the rest of the world''
 With reference to the alleged deten tion of the channel mail steamer Ire land, he said that so far as he knew the vessel had not been sold, either to America or Spain.

 Meanwhile the activity of our naval vessels is rapidly accommodating a fine squadron of transports right here in Key West, and it is not im- possible that part of our army of invasion may sail for Cuba in ships taken from the en- emy and propelled under power furnished by the en- coal. The list includes the steamships Panama, Cat alina, Buena Ventura, Pedro and Miguel Jover-all fine, large vessels, capable Of being used as transports, colliers or hospital ships.
 As the Mangrove came into port with her big prize she was loudly cheered by the crews of the Newport and Annapolis and by Key West citizens, who lined the Wharves in crowds and swarmed on the housetops and cupolas.

 Commander EVerett's suc- ceSsful bluff with his search light and his 6-pounderS is admitted to have been su- perb. The Panama was we'll armed with four I4-pounders amidships, but it seems never to have occurred to Captain Quevado to make resistance. Besides, the big Indiana was only three miles away, ready to take upon herself the task of helping her consort if nec- essary. If Commander Ever eft had been standing on the bridge of the Iowa or of the flagship his demand for inn mediate surrender under the penalty of solid shot could not have been more superbly confident in tone. He won by a rare combination of skill, intrepidity. and pure impudence. Only three shots were fired; but they were enough. Lieutenant Com mander Everett immediately put Ensign Dixon aboard his big prize, the Indiana fur nished a prize crew of fifteen men under command of Cadet FaIconer and the Man grove steamed to the flag ship, the New York. Admiral Sampson ordered the Man grove to take her prize to Key West, and she arrived here at II o'clock this morn ing. We followed. her in on the Dewey.
 Captain Quevado and his crew of seVenty-two men and his passengers, who number thirty-nine, are a very disgusted lot of Span iards. They were almost in sight of Havana when the Mangrove appeared, and now they are held in Key West. More than one hundred ref ugees are added at one stroke to the rapidly growing Span -ish colony accumulated on board our several prizes of war.
 The problem of feeding and caring for these Spanish hostages of ours was partly solved to-day. A contract has been given to feed them and a large vacant two-story house at Green and Simon ton streets has been provided for their use until the cases of the several prizes captured

Black Sea a Deadly Poison.

The explorations of the Rus
sian scientist, Andrussow, have
$500 feet, is poisoned by sui
established very curious fact.
The Black sea, which in some
parts has depth of more than
phureted hydrogen wherever the
water is deeper than 1900 feet.
This accounts for the curious fact
that there is no organic life be-
low that depth, excepting, per
haps, some bacteria of very low
order, impregnated with sulphur.
The causes for this phenomenon
are explained by the quick out
flow of the fresh water through
the Bosphorus, while salt water
coming from the Mediterranean
enters through a deeper current
into the depths of the Black sea.
The waters on the surface are,
therefore, controlled absolutely
by horizontal currents of consid.
cradle force and vertical currents
which might carry the noxious
gases from the bottom to the sur
face and fresh oxygen from the
surface to the bottom are hardly
ever noticeable. The water at
great depths is now so saturated
with sulphuric gas by the disinte-
grafton of organic matter sinking
to the bottom by reason of its
weight that no fish or other living
being, which needs oxygen for it's
organic system, can exist beyond
a stated depth Philadelphia
