BOATS AFOUL
OF The CABLES
Trouble With Gable to South AM
boy Repaired Boat Caught
Sound Gable Today.

Considerable trouble has been ex-
perienced by the New York and New
Jersey Telephone Company in the
past week with the submarine cables
here.
On Monday a barge got her anchor
foul of the cable between this city
and South Amboy. Word was sent
to New York by Manager George
Davis, of this city, and men we're dis
patched here at once and with con-
siderable difficulty the cable was TAX
en- up and repaired.
This morning the barge Hornet,
just in from New London, Conn,
dropped anchor at the foot of Smith
street and became foul of the cable
running from this city to Tottenville.
Word was sent to New York this
morning and a gang of cable men are
expected this afternoon to release it
and repair the cable.

DAVIS
SENDS REPORT
Says He Landed Rescue Force on
Officials Request lis Entirely
Free from Blame.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-To nscer-
tain exactly the conditions upon which
American naval forces were employed
IN Jamalca, and especially 70 deter.
mine the point whether or not they
were used at the request Of the colo.
NAL authorities or whether their serv.
Ice was gratuitous. Secretary Metcalf
called upon Admiral Davis through his
superior, Admiral Evans. for copies OF
the text of the letters between the ad.
miral and the British authorities OF
Jamaica. These have been received
by cable. and a careful comparison
made at the navy department between
the letters as furnished by Admiral
Davis and the same as appeared in the
press dispatches from Kingston show
that they r substantially alike, the
only difference being some trivial con
densati0n of terms. This point is es.
tablished, that Admiral Davis did no!
land naval forces without request, fol
in his report TO the department, among
other things. he says:
1leldlnS TO the ~entreatieS OF the
colonial secretary and til inspector OF
police. who spoke for th governor, ]
landed fifty 'men under rms from the
Indiana
This was under date of Jan. IS, and
on the same day the following letter
was delivered to Admiral Davis from
the governor of the island:
Colonial Secretary's Office,
jamaica, Jan. 10.
Sir beg to thank your excellency
for the kind assistance which you render
ed to the government of this colony. ]
lave the honor to be, sir, your obedient
servant. j. A. SWETTENHAM,
Governor.
In the opinion of the department. Off
Gals Admiral Davis is thus entirely
relieved from any criticism for his
action in landing naval forces.
A London dispatch says that the
closing of the incident by President
Roosevelt Is considered there to APP
ply to the international aspect only, us
there remains d considerable reckoning
between Great Britain and Governor
Swettenham.

NEW coMMANDANT FOR. 0.A.c.
Is West Point Graduate-Arrives in
August-He Inspects Cadets Next
Month.

The war department of the
United States has appointed an Off
Ger Of the regular army to become
commandant and instructor in mill
tary science and tactics Is made a
requirement in instruction at the
college by the law Of congress
which makes the appropriation for
maintainance. This appropriation,
by the recent increase of SIS, 900
per annum will soon reach about
500, 600 year, and it is required
to be devoted to. instruction in
agriculture, English, mathematics,
and mechanical, electrical, mining,
civil and other engineering courses.
The department also provides guns,
and paraphernalia for purposes OF

The new commandant is Captain
Ulysses Grant McAlexander of the
18th United States Infantry. He
was born in Minnesota and was ap'
pointed cadet to the United
States military academy at West
Point from Kansas in 1883. He
was graduated in 1887, was a sec
ond lieutenant in the army until

tenant until 1898 when he was
made captain Of volunteers. In

charged from the volunteers to ac-
cept a captaincy in the 18th Infant
ry.
Captain McAlexander is now the
official inspector of the agricultur-
al colleges, known in the federal
law as land grant colleges, by rea-
son of the fact that they were en-
dowed originally by grants of land
made by congress for their support.
He begins his tour of inspection
within a few days at New Orleans,
visits the colleges in the various
southern states, reaches OAC about
May 9Th, and on the return trip o1
inspection goes through the north
ern states, reaching Washington in
