A PACIFIC CABLE WAN TED.
President Sends . Message To Com
gress ON subject.

Washington, February 10 The Presi-
dents message on the Pacific cahls trans
mitted to Congress to-day II % follows;
Asa consequence Of the ratification OF
the treaty OF Paris blythe ssnats Of the
United States and its expected ratincs-
tion by the Spanish eovernmsnt, che
United States viii come into possession OF
the Philippine isls nds on the farther
shores Of the Pacifa Tbe Hawaii Islands
and Guam being United States territory
aud forming oonventens stopping places
on the way across the SEA, the necessity
for speedy cable communication between
the Omitted ST ,tss and all the Pacific is1-
Ands has become imperative. Such com
munication should Be established In such
way o. to be wholly under the control Of
the United States whether In time OF
peace or war. At present the Philippines
can be reached only BY gables which pass
through many foreign countries and the
Hawaiian Islands and Guam can only
be communicated with by steamers, In
volving delays In each instance of at least
q week. The present conditions should
not be allowed to continue or moment
lonser than Ia absolutely necessary.
Ihe time he's now arrived when q cable
In the Pacific must extend as far as Ma
niia, touching at the Hawaiian islands
and Guam on the way. Two methods of
esta ablishina this cable Communication
at once suggest themselves, First con-
struction and maintenance OF such
cnble Mt the expense Of the United States
government and second, construction and
maintenance Of such . cable by private
United States corporation under such
safeguards as Congress shall impose.
do not make any recommendations TO
Congress rs to which OF these methocs 5
would be the more desirable. A cable Of
the length of that proposed req Tires SO
much time for construction and laying
that IL IL estimated that at least two year s
must elapse after giving che order for the
csble before the entire system could be-
successfully laid and put In operation
Further deep sea soundines must be TAX
en- west of the hawaiian Islands before
the best route for the cable can be select
nd. Under these circumstances, 1t be-
coms paramount necessity. that meas.
ures should be taken before the close OF
lshs present Congress to provide such
means as may seem suitable for the estab-
lish ment of cable system.
l commend the whole subject to the
careful consideration of the Congress and
to such prompt action as may seem ad-
visable.

Now, what Is the grips
Can 1t be svoided or preventeds

Can IL Do oVolueu OF preVentcuf
And can 1t be cureds
Grip Is characterized by continued
fever, by tendency to Inflammation of
the msm branes of the digestive ami often
the respiratory tracts, by pain in the
muscles. and by debility.
The grip in individual cases varies from
. sight indisposition to severe forms with
grave symptums-these variations depend
ing wholly upon the health, age, temper
ament or nervous condition of the person.
Those predisposed to rheumatism suffer
great pain in the muscles; persons Of
nervous temperament become low spir-
tied, often have bysteria, and. II not
closely watched, have bean known to
commit suicide. Several cases of this sort
have been reported this month in the
newspapers. Headache Is constant
symptom. The bowels are generally con-
stipated. Whatever form the disease takes
there Ia Invariably extreme prostration.
The danger to persans In previous health
full ooBdition is slight.
1t has be.n absolutely proven that there
is one certain preventive of serious cases
of grip; and that there is one remedy for
persons suffering with 1t, or beginning
to be convalescent from its attack.

to Congress Calling for Pacinc Cable
Also Read.
Washington, February 1o.-At:the Csbi-
net meeting today the President read
brief extract from the report Of the war
Investigation commission, and tho matter
was discussed Informally. During tho
conversation can Of roast beef, which
had been taken from the oommssary army
stores, was brought In and opened. The
mem bcrs present examined 10 rs well ss
could be done with the means at hand
and all declared that so far as they could
determine IL was In perfect condition,
wholesome and sweet The question Of
the transportation to Cuba Of the So. 600, 600
with which the insurgent army is TO be
paid of and the kinds Of money to be
sent, was briefly considered. 1t was agreed
that the Cubans could have any kind of
money they wished. whether gold, silver
or silver certificates or . part Of each.
Shipments of $500, 900 each probably will
be made at intervals Of few days or ~
rapidly as needed. Ths question Of IN
extra session of Congress- was also dis
ousssd and IL is the opinion of members
Of the cabinet that in the case of the
failure Of the army reorganization bill an
extra session will be necessary The
President during tho meeting called at
tention to the urgency for an American
cable across the Pacific and read the mes
sage to congress which he had prepared on
the subject.
Mem bers of the cabinet declare that the
report Of the war commission TO be In no
sense o whitewashing report. On this
contrary it IL stated that the commission
has not failed to point out where there
was error or fault. For instance, it has
not passed without criticism the arran re-
ments for transportation OF the troops
and IL also has found some thinsg to have
been amiss In the supply Of medical stores
and assistance to the troops though II
had set out tho palliating circumstances,
such as the stats of unpreparedness Of the
country and the difficulty of suddenly
training green men to discharges heavy
duties. Touching the much discussed
question as to the character Of the
meat furnished to the army the COM
mission declares that the food generally
was OF good quality and censures General
Miles fo- his alleged failure to acquaint
the war department with the faults said
by him to have been discovered at Porto
Kico.
