The company has obtained authority for

which place is the key 20 the entire
system.
Application has been made TO the Cuban
government for permission. but there has
been some hesitation on the part of the
Cuban authorities TO the granting Of the
privilege desired because it is the inten-
ton Of the Cuban government itself to
establish a wireless station in Pinar def

one.
Representatives Of the company called
upon Secretary Of War Taft yesterday,

probable that the Secretary will grant
the company conditional permission 10
