To Congress on the Pacific Cablc-Hc
Urges Speedy Action Without Spe-
ciGc Recommendation.
WASHINGTON. D. c., Feb. 1O.-The
Presidents message on the Pacific cable
transmitted to Congress to-day, IS as
follows:
As q consequence OF the ratification OF
the treaty of Paris by the senate OF the
United States and Its expected ratlfica-
ton by the Spanish government. the
United States will come into possession
of the Philippine Islands on the farther
shores OF the Pacific. The Hawaiian
Islands and Guam being United States
territory and forming convenient stop
ping places on the way across the sea
the necessity for speedy cable communl-
cation between the United States and
all these Pacific islands has become i'm
perat!v?. .HF
Such communication should be es-
tablished In such n way as to be wholly
under the control OF the United States,
,whetne: in time of peace or war. At
present the Philippines can be reached
only by cables which pass through
many foreign countries and the Ha-
waiian islands and Guam can only be
communicate ted with by steamers involv-
Ing delays In each instance Of at least n
week. The present conditions should
not be allowed 10 continue for n moment
longer than Is absolutely necessary.
The time has now arrived when ca
bic in the Pacific must extend as far as
Manila tnnrhtt,,r - Jn IL, to
lands and Guam on the way. Two
methods OF establishing this cable COM
munication at once suggest themselves.
First, construction and maintenance OF
such cable at the expense OF the
United States government and second
construction and maintenance OF such IL
cable by private United States cor
poraton under such safeguards as Con-
gress shall Impose.
/ do not make any recommendation to
Congress as TO which OK these methods
would be the more desirable 4 cable of
the length Of that proposed requires so
much time for construction and laying
that 1t is estimated that at least two
years must elapse after giving the or
der for the cable before the entire sys-
tenn could be successfully laid and put
In operation. Further deep sea sound
ing must be taken west Of the Hawaiian
islands before the best route for the ca
blc can be selected. Under these cir
cumstarces it becomes a paramount
necessity that measures should be ta-
ken before the close of the present Con-
gress TO provide such means as may
seem suitable for the establishment OF a
cable system.
commend the whole subject to the
careful consideration Of the Congress
and TO such prompt action as may seem
advisable.
