THE MYSTERY OF THE CABLES.

Washington June S.-There is considerable
mystery concerning the cutting or cables run
n,n- out OF Cuba and the continuance OF cable
servce from that island II was positively
established today that the French cable run
ming from Santiago to Cape Haytien, went out
Of service last Frday and remained out or
working condition until Saturday. During the
twenty four hours interruption the cable com
pany was unable to carry on any business over
this line There is little doubt that the inter
ruption was due TO the work OF the cable-cut-
ting ship sent out by General Greedy In
charge Of Signal Service officers But the mys-
terry Of the affair is that the French cable be-
gan working again on Saturday.
How this came about is beyond explanation
nv the best cable experts. The French cable
company is as much in the dark on this point as
are the authorities here. All that the company
knows is that it could not do business from June
3 to June l. 1t is apparent that the cable was
not cut else 1t could not have resumed service.
At the same time nothing short OK cutting can
account for the complete Gripping OF the cable
on June g.
The matter is further complicated by reports
reaching the officials here to-day that the cable
again stopped working at midnight on Monday.
The condition Of this cable IS regarded az impor-
tant BY the authorities here, as II 10 one OF the
means open TO General Bianco In his commune
cation with the Spanish authorities.

PRESIDENT HEUREAUX SETS FORTH THE DAM
AGE HIS COUNTRY SUFFERS
v,os,i,eton June S-A remarkable state
naper Is that which President HeureauX or san
nn,,iryo has issued in declaring the neutrality
o, that country In the present war. For the first
time in an official manner, the President has
clearly set out the great extent OF the injuries
inflicted upon the small neutral States in the
West Indies by the existing conflict, The Presl-
dent says
"Bv preserving strict neutrality we can sue
coed in avoiding the gravest contingencies OF the
bloody conflict but we cannot succeed In pro-
tecting ourselves from its fatal economic conse-
ouerces Misfortune cannot knock at our neigh
bor's door without bequeath!ng to us portion

money with which to make his purchases in the
producing markets meets with loss.
ION the other hand, the transportation and the
sale OF fruits have become difficult while the
war lasts, costs and risks being Increased and
profits diminished Exchanges are higher than
usual prices higher than usual and will
continue to Increase. The provisioning Of our
markets perhaps cannot be accomplished with
the usual regularity; and even If this adverse
possibility were met. another more serious and

A COMPROMISE OK THE BOND PROVISION.
The Senate bond provision has been modified
so as TO constitute a compromise with the
House The most material alteration made In
this amendment is one fixing the amount OF
bonds AT 800 10000. instead Of S3lD.OOO0O
as agreed upon by the Senate and $500.UU,-
600 as proposed by the House. There has
also been some change in the general phrase

gard to time certificates also will be amended
but the amount. which was *lOoWD,Do In
both the Senate and House bills VIII remain
at that figure. The changes will be OF a
character making the proposed loan more i'm

requirements for advertising 1t Will also be
made clear that this loan is intended for
merely temporary purposes.
