CABLE COMPANIES CLAIMS,
The Department Puzzled as to what TO
DO with Them.

NVASUTNGION. Jan. A-Anoihet oi7-
agreeable consequence Of the late war
has been the presentation T. the gov
eminent of claims of cable companies
for damages sustained through the sus-
rension of their business by the United
states military and naval forces. w nat
the aggregate amount of these c.tlns
Will be cannot be fOrct0ld. The coihpa-
nies ina each case base their claims upon
tbe number OF davs OF interruption 10
i,,sinees estimating the loss each day
bv tie records of business transacted III
corresponding period in former years
The STATE Department IS puzzled IN ueal-
ina. ,ytth these claims. There Is no tA-
acf precedent Tor them and II - redllz-
cd We must make some internauohai la"
81 meet the case. The companies beileVe
thcv have a precedent for the demands
Inn tbe attitude assumed by the United
states In the claim of the Central and
south American Telegraph Company
whose cables were cut off tho coast Of
chile by the Congressional party which
succeeded in overthrowing the Baima-
coda party in Chile The Chilean claims
commission allowed the cable company
about one-fourth Of its claim.
THE principal argument against the al
loyance of the claims. in the pending
cases IS based upon a denial that they
are paraIlel with the South American
case II IS also asserted that at Manila.
for instance. the cable was being used
as a weapon by tho Spanish garrison,
and that the United States was justi-
hed in destroying this weapon.
