turbanees on the former island. The cable
between st. Lucia and Grenasz - also out
OF repair. Messages for these islands
are sent by beat from St Lucia.
Owing to the less Of one Of the cable
ships in the St Pierre disaster. and the
attention of the one remaining shin being
given to rescue work. little progress has
yet been made toward restoring direct
communication with the isolated islands.
Bat now that the other sueeoring forces
are at hand it is expected that the situa-
ton In that respect viii shortly improve
unless the changes in the ocean bottom
have been so great as to make IL i'm
possible to pick up the broken cable ends,
in which case the cables viii have to be
partially relaid at a greater loss OF time. -
Cable communication is still intact be-
tween Dominica ard the chain OF small
islands to the north. Mr. Ribble stated.
From these islands communication can
also be had with Jamaica and thence di-
rectly to the United States and the rest
of tho world
Communication is also still in existence
between St Lucia and South America
Dominica is separated from MaEtinique by
but about thirty or forty miles OF water,
and the numerous detailed press dis
patches which have been sent out all over
the world have been carried across by boat
to Dominica and sent out from there By
the cable line. The distance between
Martinique and St Lucia is considerably
greater. but the trip can be made inside
Of a day. and, owing to the congestion Of
business at the telegraph station at Do
minica. many II the dispatches ara carried
across to st. Lucia and sent from there
by the cable to South America and thence
to Europe and across the Atlantic TO the
United States
What soundings have already been made
by the cable repair ship reveal the fact
that the entire bottom of the ocean in the
vicinity of the Winward Islands and fer
macy miles out from them has undergone
vast change Vast assures have opened
in the ocean bottom, which viii be In
possible to span with cables. To attempt
to lay the wires across these crevices
would result in the same manner as an
attempt TO string telephone line from
the summit Of one lofty peak to the sum
NIT of another mountain many miles dis
tant The line would break Of its own
weight. In order to restore the cable ser
vice, extensive detours viii doubtless have
to be made in many places.

Although enormously improved by the
three years administration of Gov Leon

President has to face would daunt a less
courageous man.
With increased expenses incident to the
establishing Of two branches of congress

full diplomatic corps and the SUBSTITUTE
ing of civil salaried employees for army
officers, President Palma will have TO
enforce the most rigid economy or soon
plunge his country into heavy debt. While

he is expected to carry on the many i'm
pToyements which General Wood has

70 DISCUSS DISTRICT
FINANCES IN COMMITTEE
Appropriation Bill to Be Ia,
ken Up Tomorrow.
COMMISSIONERS TO BE HEARD
Possibility of Compromise on Equaliza-
ton of Assessment and Personal Tax.
Municipal Improvements and Those
Which Are National in Character.


The District Commissioners have been
notified to appear before the Senate Com
Mite on Appropriations tomorrow to take
up and consider the District bill The
bill as it passed the House will be gone
over carefully. and. it is understood. will
be considerably amended.
The Commissioners hold to the view
that the bill as it will be finally reported
to the Senate should ccHtain, as nearly as
possible, all the items and amounts pre-
scented to Congress in the annual esti-
mates 1t IS agreed at the District
Building that the estimates were very
conservative, considering the needs of the
local government, and that they ought to
he restored, suppesing. Of course. that
the plan yet held in allegiance for provid-
ilrg for the District finances shall be ade-
quate to meet the aggregate sum Of &c.,
Al, 4S1 carried in the estimates.
The Commissioners Satisfied.
It is understood that the Commission
ers have privately talked the matter over
and that they are satisfied with the efforts
being made to increase the municipal rev.
enues, They are believed TO be prepared
TO accede to the equalization of the as
sessment of property which, viii increase
the revenues and to the personal tax
proposition AS between the proposition
advanced by the House and the Mcmillan
personal tax bill, the Commissioners are
understood to favor the latter. It is be
lieved that they viii ask the Senate Com
mittee to substitute the Mcmillan bill for
hot rfa ~ no RID
its OWL appropriation bill.
Distinction as to Improvements.
As to the scheme of further bolstering
up the District finances for temporary
purposes. it is well known that the Com
missioners are in favor of Congress max
ing a sharp distinction between improve
ments that are distinctly municipal and
those which are national in character.
For the municipal expenses and purely
municipal improvements the Commission
ers maintain that the District revenues
are sufficient. 1t is. to their minds, the
extraordinary expenditures which threat
en- to deplete the municipal treasury.
/ When such distinction is made the Com
missioners are OF the opinion that for the
time being Congress should authorize the
use OF such small sums as may be need
fuI for the District by an advance from
the Treasury, TO be paid back IN small in
stailments from the District revenues.
The Commissioners are hopeful, it is
understood. that this general program
viii be carried out, and tisat the appro-
priation bill in its final form viii in
cIude all that is needed for the current
/ expenses of the municipality and the i'm
/ provements which are called for in the
table Of estimates.
