Washington correspondents report
that 1t is understood that Secretary OF
State Hay has decided to annul the
franchise granted by the former Ha-
waiian government to the Pacific Cable
company. of which James A. Scrymser
Of New York is president, to lay cable
from Honolulu to San Francisco. The
interests OF J. Pierpont Morgan pre-
dominate in the big combination OF
capital. Mr.. Scrymser Is now In Japan
endeayoring TO secure a subsidy from
the japanese government to carry the
cable from the Hawaiian Islands to ia
pan. 1t is said to be the attitude OF
this government to throw open to com
petition the privilege OF laying this
cable. and that proposals will be asked
for the performance OF the work by
private companies. II Is not the inten-
tion OF the United States government
to lay and operate the cable itself.
