Efforts in the Atlantic

Gables GirldIing the Earth at the

Although the statement is freely
made today that there are not enough
American born cable operators to man
a single cable this does not necessarily
mean that some other country has led
US in cable construction. The develop
ment of the submarine cable from the
mere gutta percha coated wire laid in
New York harbor by Professor Morse
in 1912 to the great cables which now
girdle almost the entire earth and will
soon form network over the Pacific
ocean are the result of American enter
prise.
The cable which will soon connect
Hawaii with the outer world, will rev.
olutionize the islands. Our stock mar

reports by steamer from San Francisco
but will be dominated by frequent ca
bles from all sugar growing centers and
their markets. This is only one of the
things that will be changed by the ca
ble There are dozens of others.
The history of the development of the
great cables is interesting and is con-
nected with the movements and actions
of the foremost men of the last half
century. Saliva, Spaniard, is credited
with being the first man to suggest
communication under the sea by means
of a submarine cable. Adm, his
nephew, in 1903 in Calais, France, con-
Quoted experiments of sending electric
signals under the sea near that place:
Telegraph signals were sent through
insulated wires under the River Hoogly
in India in 1889 But the most success
full of all of the early cable people was
Morse. In 1872 he transmitted electric

sulated copper wire which he had laid
from Castle Garden to Governors ISL
and in New York harbor.
Morse was looked upon as a fakir by
many but in the following year he
astounded the nation by declaring that
he could establish submarine telegraph
communication between United States
and Europe.
Morse worked for three years before
he got any satisfaction out of capital
lists and was able to establish a sub
marine line. In 1916 Ezra Cornell as
sisted him in laying and successfully
operating marine cable wires in the
Hudson river between New York and a
point several miles up the river. In
1SK section of the telegraph line con-
Meeting New York and Washington
was laid through the water of a narrow
creek by New Jersey man, and the
communication thus established sue

marine telegraph cable from valen-
tia, Ireland, to Newfoundland and the
United States. The cable, for which
the contract price was So, 200 900, part
~ in cash and partly in shares of the
company, consisted of seven copper
wires surrounded by numerous coat
ings of gutta percha and other wa
terproof non-conductors. This was
in turn surrounded by ten Bessemer
steel wires, TINS being the first use
of steel wires for cable protection,
each wire being separately wound
with pitch-soaked hemp yarn, the
shore ends being also further pro-
tected by thirty-six heavy iron wires
wound spirally about the completed
cable. The steamer Great Eastern,
then the largest steamship afioat, was
specially fitted up for laying this
cable. Great care was exercised in
every particular, but after 1,186 miles
had been laid westward from Valen-
tia the cable broke in water over
LOCO feet deep, and the attempts to
recover it were unsuccessful.
Mr.. Field and his associates renewed
their efforts to lay a cable across the
Atlantic. A new company with 49,
UU,VUV capital was formed Win the
doupie purpose of attempting to find
the end of the cable partially laid in
1865 and complete the line, and also
to lay another cable parallel with and
near to it. The cable manufactured
for the proposed new line was SINH
lar to that of 1865. The Great East
ern was remodelled further to meet
the requirements of the work, and
left Falenlla, Ireland, on July 13, 1866,
paying out the cable in line about
twenty-five miles north of that fol-
lowed in the preceding year. She
SAFELY arrived at Newfoundland in
fourteen days from the date of leav-
ing Valentia, and electrical commune
cation was Immediately established
between the United States and En-
gland, which has never since been
more than temporarily interrupted.
The Great Eastern then returned to
the spot where the cable was lost in
1865, and after eighteen days work
succeeded in bringing the end on
board from a depth of over 1900
feet, the tests Immediately made
showing it to be in perfect working
connection with the Valentia end.
A splice was made and the laying of

l86i-A submarine Geographic cable, which
had been manufactured with great
care, was laid across the Mediter-
ranean from Malta to Alexandria,
Egypt, with intermediate landing
places at Tripoli and BenghaZi. The
cable consisted of seven copper
wires stranded together, covered with
several coatings of gutta percha al
ternAted with other non-conducting
and waterproof material, and in turn
covered and protected by eighteen
iron wires wound spirally about this
core. This cable proved a permanent
success, and went into general opera
ton shortly after it's construction.
The speed of transmission, which on
the Atlantic cable and shorter sub
marine lines had been three words
minute, was brought up to ten words
a minute on each separate section,
but was only three words a minute
when all the sections were united
and operated as a single line of 1,33l
miles.
1S62-A submarine cable which had been
laio across the Mediterranean Sea
between France and Algeria in 1861
proved a complete failure after few
moLtns of experiment.

submerged line in the Arabian Sea
and the Persian Gulf had total
length of 1,450 miles, but with three
intermediate landing places. This
line consisted of copper core sur
rounded by layers of gutta percha,
alternated with other non-conductins
and waterproof material, being pro-
tected by an outer sheathing of
twelve galvanized iron wires wound
spirally about it, which in turn were
protected by double wrappings of
tarred hemp yarn. All of these ma

CUBAN ANNEXATION.
MOVEMENT IN THIS DIRECTION RE
GARDED AS PREMATURE-FAIR TRIAL
OF PRESENT CONDITIONS SOUGHT.
IBY CABLE TO THE TRIBUNE. ]

IBY CABLE TO THE TRIBCNE1
Havana, July 22-The annexation movement
which was started some months ago, but which
has been kept in the dark until within the last
few days, has caused some feeling among those
Cubans who want the island to have a fair
chance in trying TO solve the problem of self
government.
The anti-annexationists says that the cham
pions of annexation consist largely Of men who
when the on, spent the time at Sara
toga or other watering places in the United
States or Mexico; who, when the over
focked back to Cuba, expecting to get the lions
share of the spos. TO which those who had
fought for independence were entitled. While
this may be an exaggeration. it appears to have
enough of fact for a basis TO keep it in circu-
lation Another point made against the annex
ationists is that most Of them are American
citizens although Cuban born.
The reports of possible disturbances in Cuba
do not seem TO have any substantial founda-
ton The Cubans realize that the eyes OF the
world are upon them well as the United
States and their pride is at stake. They know
that the life death of the republic depends
upon their behaving themselves. and they are
determined to conduct themselves Alright. The
most radical leaders impress this upon the peo-
pie and il is safe to say that their counsel will
prevail for they have a pride in their republic
and are determined 10 give il a fair trial. 1t is
presumed that if serious trouble should occur
on the island the United States would re-
turn. Some Of the anneXationists say that the
United States would only want pretext to
tell the Cubans they had had trial and
had been found wanting. few Of these en-
thusasts actually imagine that If somebody

such talk as this that has made the anti-an-
nexationists so bitter against the annexauonists.

the ranks Of the annexationists men OF nigh

STRONG COMPLAINT DROPPED.
JEWELS APPARENTLY REDEEMED AND RETURNED TO MISS
YOHE AND THE CASE CLOSED


Developments of most unexpected nature
arose yesterday in the Stronghold case which
indicate hat Miss Yohe's jewels have been re-
deemed and returned to her, and that the miss
ing captain is to be allowed to continue on his
way. Although the detectives under Captain
Titus had not stopped their search for Strong at
5:30 ?. m. yesterday. Emanuel NJ. Frined. coun-
sci for Miss Yohe accompanied by counsel for
the Strongs, Job E. Hedges. who for half of
the late Mayor Strongs term Of office was his
secretary. appeared at Police Headquarters and
formally withdrew all complaints against Strong
and the offer of reward for his capture
The second surprise came when announce

night 10 Wood. Yokohama" 1t was said that

Nanny" Friend last night denied that Miss
Yohe had sent any message, or that any had
been sent bearing her signature. Under close
questioning, however, Mr.. Friend admitted send
ing q dispatch signed with his code name. He
would say nothing regarding its purport, save
that il was not quoted.
All day yesterday detectives were searching
for Strong. Although not certain that he was
in New-York, the police visited all his accus-
toned haunts, while steamship officers and de-
parting vessels were watched carefully. Men
were also sent out of town, and 1t is said two
men were sent as far as Chicago. In spite of
this vigorous search no trace of the missing
man was found. Reports pointing to his de-
parture from the country receive some credence.
Strong is said to have told newspaper man
day last week that he intended TO go TO
Japan; that the constant censure and ridicule
which he subjected here were insuffer-
able. He added, il is said, that he had good
business prospects there, and, besides, he liked
the country.
Hastings and met Mr.. Friend. They hired a
cab for the day. and together drove to the
pawnshop Of Henry Goldstone. at Thirty-second-
ST. and SiXth-ave. There they inspected the
jewels belonging 10 Miss Yohe. which had been
pawned by Strong. From there they went 10
the law offices of Job Z. Hedges. at No. 141
Broadway. Miss Yohe, her lawyer and Mr..
Hedges were in close consultation from u
O'Clock until about 8 o'clock. Then Miss Yohe
and Mr.. Friend drove to Goldstone's again, and
later went TO the West Thirtieth-st. police sta
tion. After a time they left the station and
to the Imperial, where Miss Yohe re-
mained. while Mr.. Friend, 1t is said, sent the
cable message from nearby Office.
After a while Mr. Friend went to Police Head
quarters where he met Mr. Hedges. and at Miss
Yohe's request the complaint against Strong
was withdrawn.
Mr. Friend was at the Rossmore Hotel last
evening, and announced the withdrawal of the
complaint. He was asked:
DO you consider him less guilty tonight than
Iast?'
That can't say" Mr.. Friend replied.
When asked If all the jewels pawned had
been recovered, he said:

ADMIRAL BEREsFoRD's VIEWS.

London July 22-The House of Commons
committee appointed to inquire into the ques-
ton of steamship subsidies in session this
morning and examined Senator q. A. Drum
mond of Montreal, and Rear Admiral Lord
Charles Beresford. Lord Charles told the COM
mittee that he did not favor fostering trade by
means of subsidies He objected to subsidies,
but attached the greatest Importance to Great
Britain owning mercantile marine containing
vessels of great speed, and favored postal sub
ventions for the encouragement thereof.
Lord Charles suggested that the government
might build 24-knot liners and allow the COM
panies to work them, the government sharing
in the profits
The conference of the Colonial Premiers to-
day also discussed steamship subsidies. from
the double standpoint of the economical car
riage of goods and combating the subsidizing
policy of foreign governments.

tionsts shall figure in the new personnel. Then
a regular campaign for annexation will be
started. It was said last night however by one
of the prominent members of the club that on
account of the recent agitation in New-York
the meeting may be postponed and the cam
paign put off to a more opportune time.
1t is safe 10 say the Cubans all feel that
annexation TO the United States is only mat
ter of time but that it is a question of years
and not of months but most of those who helped
win the present independence are strenuous in
insisting that Cuba should have a full and fair
opportunity to work out her own salvation and
