Defers Action on Cables.

Arguments were made before Secre-
tary Root Friday by counsel of the cable
and telegraph companies interested in
cable communication between the United
States and Cuba.
ne arguments lasted over two hours,
and at their conclusinon Secretary Root
announced that no action would be taken
on the questions involved for two weeks
Meanwhile the counsel for the compa-
nies might submit additional arguments
in writing. He also announced that the
question Of whether franchises had been
fraudulently obtained could not be con-
sidered, as these points had already been
passed upon by the Attorney-General.
The case heard by the Secretary was
the result of complaint made by the
Western Union Company that its excu-
sive franchise for the lines between Cuba
and this country was being violated by
the use of the United States and Haiti
cable line working in connection with the
Postal system, through which means the
Postal was able to invade the Cuban field
of the Western Union. The United
States and Haiti company asked that the
case be continued until next September,
in order that additional time might be
afforded in which to present testimony.
II tas not probable that the request will be
granted, in view of the statement by Mr.
Rcot that action would be taken IN two
weeks
Mr.. Root held that while the merits
OF the questions involved could bc prop
erly. considered, he could not go behind
the opinion of the Attorney-General.
