.he destruction of their property. In
the case of the Manila cable, for instance,
the Eastern Extension company an
nounces that it will "look with entire
confidence to the government OF the
United States to compensate the COM
pany for the damage caused to its prop
erty." Commenting upon this declara-
ton the London Daily Chronicle directs
attention to the fact that "Admiral
Dewey did not cut the cable until the
Spanish authorities refused to allow the
transmission of American dispatches"
Therefore, it is pointed out by the
English journal, "the real interruption
of the earning capacity of the cable was
due to Spanish action, and Lord Tweed
dale had better apply for compensation
to Madrid
Another English newspaper, the Lon
don Daily Telegraph, follows the same
line of argument and adds the suggestion
that by reason of the omission of any
provision for the protection of the cable
by the international convention it may
be regarded as "contrabrand of war
on the ground that it is ian elective
engine of destruction, ordering troops
and neets to move, the same as any other
appliance used in war which Spain ha;
declared contraband." In the absence OF
any precedent that might be accepted by
all as a guide the London Times con
siders it highly important that the sub
iect receive early attenti IN at the hand;
