MESSAGES For JAMAICA TAKEN.
New York, Jan. 1.-THE Western Un-
ion Telegraph company accepted mes
sges for all parts Of Jamaica yesterday
subject to the scnders' RISK. AS 20 the
rnessa ges from the island, the company
~ experiencing much the same difficult
~ that confronted 1t during the early
hours of the San Francisco disaster
rho city of Kingston Is SO greatly dis
organized thai Il Is next 10 impossible
TO find the persons to whom messages
arc addressed, while the messenger ser
vice into the city from the company's
sub station. about five miles from King
ston. Is necessarily slow. Many OF the
messages which came through from the
island yesterday were filed az tho sub
station. but apparently n great many
people made a 30-mile trip Gcross coun-
trysto Holland bay.
As nearly as the company can de-
terinine, the employees In the cable Office
Mt Kingston. after the destruction OF
the building. followed lines out OF the
city and tested them until they were
finally able to obtain a connection with
Holland bay. The company has not
5been able to gain any definite informn-
ton regarding the casualties or dam
age at Kingston. Its lines run only TO
Havana and any bulletins that come TO
them are sent by the employees Of the
Cuban Submarine Gable company. The
Western Union company's cable office
here was visited yesterday by many in
ou~ers after friends ana relatives In
Jamaica.
The Commercial Gable company re-
fused yesterday to accept any messages
FOR Jamaica. Its cable Is broken some
where near the Jamaican shore and II
had no idea yesterday how long It
would take 20 repair tho break.
