Importance of Ocean Cables.
From the Kansas City Star.

From the Kansas City Star.
The recent letting of the contract
for British cable from Vancouver by
way of Tanning Island in the South
Seas to New Zealand and Australia,
emphasizes the need of an American
line across the Pacific. Great Britain
has felt the necessity of having direct
communication with all her colonies
by wires that land only on British soil.
So the government proposes to lay a
single span of cable of more than $500
nautical miles-an unprecedented
length-from Vancouver to Tanning
Island. instead of using station at
Hawaii.
Modern war between naval powers
is largely mater of coal and ca
bles" The accidental non-delivery Of
two cable messages from the Spanish
Minister of Marine to Admiral Cervera
at Martinique changed the whole prog
ress of the Spanish-American war.
One notined the commander of coal
supply near at hand and the other
gave him the permission for which ne

Cervera had received these dispatches
he would have turned back from Mar
Unique, avoided the United States
squadron and prevented the Santiago
campaign. The land operations N
that event would probably have been
directed against Havana.
Naval strategy in modern times must
be founded on exclusive communica-
lions oy cable. The lack of them is
as serious a handicap as the inferior
ity of ships. England, in recognition
of this fact, has constructed network
of cables to all her principal ports
and coaling stations. :. len the Paci-
fic-Australian line is completed Great
