in the worlds history, an event
brought about by American energy
and pluck. On the Fourth of July
the first message was sent to Manila
by President Roosevelt. He sent this
dispatch to Gov. Taft: 81 open the
Americana acifc cable with greetings
to you and the people, of the Philip

Presidents message was a complete
circumnavigation of the world.
From Oyster Bay the message
sped to San Francisco, then by the
new cable to Honolulu, then through
the stations at Midway Island,
Guam and Manila to Hong Kong.
From Hong Kong it was sent along

to the Azores, where it was taken up
again by the Commercial cables and
forwarded to New York.
