DELAY OF CABLES
Not Caused by Any Action Of the
French


FORT DE FRANCE, Island of Mar
Unique, May 16.-The manager here of the
French Cable Company explicitly denies
the statement that dispatch filed by
Captain Cotton of the u. s. auxiliary
cruiser Harvard was delayed "a hours at
st. Pierre. this island. 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 were cable
messages transmitted to WASHINGTON.
When he was informed that such mes
sages went by way Of Fort de France and
Hayti he refused to give US his dispatches
because q Spanish torpedo boat was at
that time at Fort de France. Not taking
into account professional secrecy, he told
the American Consul in the presence of
M. La Lung, that under the circumstances
he preferred to give his dispatches to the
English company In spite Of the delay of
twenty-four hours which they have to SUBJ
init to on account Of accumulation Of
business on the lines OF that company.
Il protest against the statements made,
as we leave our office open to midnight or
one o'clock In the morning, when neces-
sary, while the West India Company
closes at o'clock In the evening, local
time, and also because we do everything
possible to be agreeable to the American
government, forwarding It's messages very
rapidly when we have any.
II have obtained the following state
ment on the subject, signed by the United
States Consul at st. Pierre and by Captain
Cotton Of the Harvard:
Whom Mov Copoarpr
that the agent Of the French Company al
st. Pierre, Martinique. never stated to mo
that dispatches from st. Pierre, Marti-
nique to New York. U. s. A., would have
to suffer delay Of twenty-four hours.

SUSPECTED OF SPYING
Three Men Arrested Under Rather
Suspicious circumstances

NEW YORK, May 1e.-Locked Up in the
guard house in Sandy Hook are three men
who were discovered prowling about the
Hook In small cat boat and who were
captured by the coast patrol. The men
could not give . satisfactory explanation
Of their presence In the forbidden waters
near the fortifcations and adjacent to the
mine fields, and were therefore made pris-
oners and turned over to the authorities on
the Hook. One Of the men said his name
was Dennis Taylor, and all said they lived
In Brooklyn. The names Of the others
could not be learned. One Of them was de-
scribed ~ small, dark man, who resem-
bled Spaniard. Tho statements of the
men have been taken and they are held
pending an investigation. One Of them
said he was mason and lives near the old
Thirteenth Regiment Armory, which Is
now used by the Second Battalion of Naval
Reserves. This man said that he had been
at work at Camp Low, and with other
workmen was out for a sail and drifted
where they were found. There have been
so many interferences with those subma-
rine mines in the bay that the men in patrol
boats concluded to take no chances and
turned the prisoners over to the army
officers In charge Of the defenses, to be
dealt with as they may see At. The pun
ishment that would follow conviction by
court martial for spying upon the fortifi-
cations In the interest Of the enemy would
be death.
Lieutenant Hale, who has been designa-
ted by Major-General Merritt to give out
such information as is proper at Cover
nor's Island. said that he had no informa-
ton about the arrest or detention of three
men at Sandy Hook. Officers in commune
cation with patrol boats refused to talk
about the affair further than to admit that
three men had been taken from boat and
turned over to the authorities at Sandy
Hook. They declined to give the names Of
the men.
