The Pacific Cable.
WASHINGTON, March 6.-The SEN
ate Committee on Naval Affairs to-
day ordered a favorable report upon
ne DIu 20 Cons.Tuc. a cable 20 Manila
W way OF honOIu.u, Midway Islands
and Guam. IL is to be under the drec-
tlon OF the Navy Depar. ment, and Is TO
We a Government cable.
Haze, chairman Oh The committee,
was authorized to prepare bllI and
report 1t TO the Senate. The Dlll Will
provide Tor immediate construction OF
the cable from San Francisco to Homo
.u.u only, but 1t contemp.ates an ulti-
mate extension TO the Philippines and
also to Hongkong. Il is estimated that
the cable to Honolulu Will cost between
9o,OUO,UU0 and S4,OUU,OOO.
The House Committee on Commerce
today ordered favorable report on
the bill for Pacific cable connecting
this country with Hawaii, the Philip
pines and Japan. The measure has
IN
Zine and two sessions were held today
in order to bring The mater TO con-
clusion. The bill of Representative
sherman OF New York is the one ia
vorably acted upon, with number of
amendments. This provides for pri-
vate construction of the line, the Gov
eminent paying 100000 annually for
twenty years for the transmission OF
messages.
The amount of this annual payment
was the last question decided. The
original provision was tor $500 UOO,
but, after extended discussion, the re-
duction to 100000 was made. The
committee had previously inserted a
clause that the cable be of American
make and the cab.eships shall be I'M
der the American Alag. Another pro-
vision calls for the completion of the
line to Honolulu by January l, 1902,
and TO Japan by January, 1903. 1t was
originally estimated that the cost of
the cab.e would be SS,O00,00O, but re-
cent estimates submitted to the COM
mittee show rise in prices of mate
rial will make the cost about $13,OOO,-
600. The Governments obligation,
however, is confined to the annual
payment of 100000.
