Ing in the Islands. A Public Cels-
bration Will be Held in
Honolulu Today.

Honolulu, Jan. BY courtesy of the
Commercial Pacific Cable Company the
Associated Press is permitted to tender
congratulation on the completion of the
first section of the submarine cable that
is to connect the United States with its
insular possessions in the Pacific and
eventually with the continent of Asia.
The cable was completed at $40 o'clock

thirty-five miles from Honolulu, where'
the San Francisco end has been buoyed
since December 26
Shortly after communication was es-
tablished the fact was announced to the
crowd in waiting and was greeted with
applause. Judge Cooper, representing
Governor Dole, who was absent from
the island, sent a message to President
Roosevelt announcing the opening and
extending a greeting from the citizens Of
Hawaii. public celebration over the
completion of the cable will be held in
the capital grounds tomorrow.
Having buoyed the deep sea end of the
cable in the turbulent Molokai channel
at 500 o'clock on the morning of Friday,
December &c, after much difficulty and
great risk, the Silvertown came on to
Honolulu, docking at the naval wharf at
noon. The big ship was met in the har
Dor by tugs and excursion boats, carry
ing welcoming delegations with bands of
music, and escorted to the wharf. Stormy
weather prevented further cable laying
until December %, when the short shore
end was laid.
The cable was hauled up on the soil
of picturesque San Souci Park amid the
shouts of thousands and the crash of q
band of music playing cable march
dedicated to President Mackay. There
was no ceremony further than the laying
of a lei or native w1eath, upon the end
of the cable by Mrs. Hawes, who repeat
ed the customary native greeting
aloha aloha"
Heavy seas compelled the Silvertown
to remain at anchor until yesterday when
scarcely a breeze stirred the waters or
the harbor. few minutes after o'clock
in the morning the Silvertown heaved an
Choir and made a start down the bay.
Shortly after / o'clock in the afternoon
the Silvertown reached the point where
the end was buoyed The sea was not
rough, but the swell rolled the vessel
considerably. Great care was taken IN
handling her while taking up the buoy.
It was finally accomplished at 3:44
O'Clock without untoward incident. The
connection with the testing room was
quickly made and San Franciscor re-
sponded promptly to the call
Connection was made at 4:04 between
the two lines and Honolulu by the ship.
Four hours We're spent in testing and
allowing the recently-laid line to acquire
the temperature of the ocean depths. At
$40 p, M, Honolulu time, came the first
call from San Francisco.
