CABLE LINES TO CUBA
REPRESENTATIVES, BEFORE THE
SECRETARY OF WAR
Argument Submitted Regarding
Rights Guaranteed by the
Treaty of Paris.

Representatives of the Western Union
Telegraph Company, the Postal Telegraph
Company and the French Gable Company.
sperating between Hayti and Santiago,
Cuba, were at the War Department today
for the purpose of arguing questions re-
lating to cable communication between the
United States and Cuba. The present case
was brought up a complaint by the
Western Union Company that their exclu-
sive telegraphic franchise between the
United States and Cuba was being violated
by the use of the French line in connection
with the Postal line. by which messages
were sent between this country and Cuba.
The representatives of the French COM
pany today asked a continuance until
September, on the ground that it had no
opportunity to prepare it's case or make
an investigation of the complaint of the
Western Union Telegraph. 1t was said
that the officers of the company had taken
no cognizance of the newspaper reports
that such hearing was to be had, and 1t
was only a short time ago that they were
aware of the fact.
As all parties were represented Secre-
tary Root decided to listen to the argu-
ments to day, but will give the French
company an opportunity to file additional
argument. While the merits of the whole
question were more or less discussed, the
Secretary held that he could not go behind
the opinion of the Attorney General, which
held that the rights of the International
company. which is practically the Western
Union company. were property rights un-
der the concessions from Spain and val
idated by the treaty of Paris. The points
at issue, therefore. were whether the mill
tary telegraph line in Cuba owned and
controlled by the United States could be
used to transmit messages received at
Santiago and destined for other points in
the island; also whether the military gov
eminent in Cuba should prevent messages
being transmitted from the United States
over the French line via Hayti to Santiago.
The Western Union, the International and
the Cuban Submarine companies all insist
that such messages shall not be transmit
ted and the military lines shall not be used
to transmit them beyond Santiago. The
contention of the Postal company and the
French company Is to the contrary, al
though arguments were submitted during
the hearing today against the concessions
to the other companies.
Secretary Root took the whole matter
under consideration and will later render
opinion.

Mr-- Catherine Clapp, the woman who
was at police headquarters early yesterday
morning and asked Sergeant Carter to send
kilograms to all parts of the country for

Hospital early this morning. Her con-
duct was such as to cause her husband,
Mr.. r. Woodbridge CIapp, to believe she is
threatened with a return of her mental
trouble. Mr.. CIapp called on Sergeant Car
ter last night and begged that something
be done in the matter. The detail of a
couple of policemen, the husband said,
would satisfy him. His shirt sleeve was
torn and he said his wife threatened to
assault him with a milk jar. She was
carrying such a weapon with her, he de-
Clared. and he was kept busy keeping out
of the way of his wife and the weapon.
Sergeant Carter was at loss to know
what to do with the woman. as the police
department Is without a place where vio-
lently insane persons may be kept in safe
ty. The authorities of the Washington
Asylum Hospital agreed to take the un-
fortunate woman in charge, however and
the ambulance was sent to 453 c street
where she has been stopping. Mrs. Clapp
objected to taking midnight ride, but
after some persuasion she consented to
go. and before o'clock she was In the
hospital, where she will be held under OBJ
