Sure to Win,
By Associated Press,
LONDON, April 18-The house of
commons resumed its sessions today
after the EASTER recess. James Low
ther, Conservative member for the Isle
Of Thenet division Of Kent, asked the
house whether, in view of the present
imm1nency OF war between two states,
with which we are on the most friendly
terms, 1t was not the intention Of the
government to s.imne diately notify all
British subjects Of the necessity for the
Observance Of strict neutrality
Mr.. Balfour, the government leader,
and acting secretary of state for for
reason to depart from the universal
practice Of awaiting an outbreak Of

Edward j. Mordon, Liberal, asked II
her majesty's government could pro-

nent copies of the consular reports
Of the United States.
Mr.. Balfour, in reply, said he was not
aware that there was any machinery
TO carry out such an unusual demand:
but added that the government would
be glad to consider It.
Sir Charles Dixie, member of parlia-
ment, is quoted In an interview on the
Spanish American crisis as expressing
the opinion that the two opposing fleets
are about evenly balanced, and that,
therefore, the decisive action will be
fought at sea.
"If,' said Sir Charles, 'the Ameri-
cans win, the war Win be over. #
Spain wins, 1T will be the beginning Of
long struggle. which must end In
the crushing defeat Of Spain"
Continuing, Sir Charles ndiculed the

pointing out that Il would be no ad-
vantage to Spain for her to do so.

KEY WEST, April 18-It was learn
ed today that the cable between Key
West and Punta Rassa had been cut
about two miles this side Of Sanbel
island, about lit miles from Key West.
The matter was kept secret and the
break has been repaired.
The incident looked suspicious as the
broken end Of the cable showed that it
had been cut clean through. The rup-
ture might have been accidental, as
the waiter Is shallow where the break
occurred, and the anchor Of some ves-
sci may have become entangled in the
cable, but the shallowness Of the water
would render the cutting by an enemy
a comparative easy task.
Capt. Sampson learned Of 1t today
and wired the navy department at
Washington. 1t has been decided to
establish careful guard in these wa
ters, and any suspicious craft will be
summarily dealt with.
The revenue cutter Mclean has al
ready been sent on patrol there The
matter Is of the utmost Importance,
as the cables between here and Punta
Rassa are the only communication with
the mainland, and If they were inter-
fered with at this time the conse-
Quences could not be foretold.
An additional cause for suspicion Is
found in the fact that the cable be-
tween here and Havana recently broke
near here.
The local Junta ridicules the notion
that Senores Given and Ramirez or any
other autonomists will venture into the
camp Of Gen. Gomez to attempt to
persuade, him to accept Gen. Blanco's 8
armistice. They say Gomez Will hang
them, as the insurgents will consider
no proposals save those for the abso-
lutte independence of the island.
