The Lines in Cuba ahd Porto Rico
Prove Profitable.
Colonel Allen. of the War Signal Ser
vice does not think the success of the
Government telegraph in Cuba and Porto
Rico necessarily means the future absorp-
tion by the Government of the lines and
Offices of the Western Union and Postal
companies in America. He says it is hard
to change existing institutions.
In Cuba and Porto Rico all the land tel
egraph lines are under Government con-
trolsand have been so long that to put
them in private hands would be as much
of an innovation as 1t would be in this
country TO establish Government tele-
graph.
The Cuban and Porto Rican lines and
instruments were found to be of the most
antiquated type. New lines were built
under the direction of General Greely.
Rates were made uniform TO any point at
cents Il word for day messages and 1
cent for night, and press rates were Placed
at IA of cent a word.

frightful depopulation will cease if the

News comes from New York Of the re-
vival in serious journals of the suggestion
that England and the United States shall
exchange the West Indian Islands for the
Philippines. 1t may be safely said that it
would require grave reasons, such as are
now in no way apparent. TO induce the
British Ministers and people to treat the
suggestion with equal seriousness. En-
glish opinion, perhaps. is best expressed
at this moment by a phrase used yester-
day: THE ingenious gentleman who in
vented this idea ought TO have either
godl medal or straightjaclset.' England
admittedly. has not done well for herself
or for her colonists in the West Indies, but
it is not her way to give up bits of empire
however poor or badly managed.
