Matter Will be Brought to Attention
Of Congress.
Project Is for Gable Of
Four Links.
Russia, Japan and Great Britain
Are Interested.

Washington, October 26.-In official and
dipIom attic quarters attention In being
directed to the question Of a Pacific oable
linking this country with the Philippines
and points beyond and IL is understood
that this government and those foreign
governments which would be affected by
the cable are now actively considering
the subject. The officials here are as
ssmbling data and preparing suitable
maps with the expectation that the mat
ter will be brought to the early attention
of Congress. In a general way the pro-
ject is for cable of four links, viz:
From San francisco to Hawaii, 2.120
miles: from Hawaii to Wake island,
Z, O44 miles; from Wake island to Guam,
,s93 miles from Guam to Manila, 1870
miles. These landing points are all
within the control of the United States.
our flag having been raised on Wake
island not long ago. This would connect
all the American possessions In the Pa
cifo by line crossing no foreign terri
tory. Besides this, the plan permits OF
an expansion SO rs to secure two outlets
to Asia and the far east. The first Of
these would be from Manila to the Japa-
nese island Of Formosa; from which Is
land Japan has built line to the Japa-
mesa coast ana the main land of Asia
The second outlet would be from Hawaii
south to Fanninys island. at which point
the newly projected British cable from
Vancouver to New Zealand crosses. The
foregoing projects would not be private
enterprises, but government undertakings.
The government, 1t Is urged In support
Of the projects, would BIS not only free
from the present high charges and from
the supervision of the foreign companies
now handling the business but the lines
opened to public and commercial uses at
reasonable rates, would afford facilities
for tine expanding trade of the Pacific
and thereby yield considerable return
to the government
Foreign governments which would DO
affected by this project-notably, Russia,
Japan and Great Britain-are beginning
to show some concern over 1t, and 1t Is
understood that the government has been
sounded of late from several foreign quar-
tiers TO learn what Its plans are.
