DEEP MYSTERY in
CABLE TROUBLE
UNDER OCEAN WIRES THROUGH.
OUT WEST INDIES REFUSE
TO WORK - EARTH
QUAKE FEARED.

New York, Nov. lit is apparent
from reports received by cable COM.
panies with connections in the West
Indies, that all submarine lines
throughout the islands, from Kings
ton on the west to Trinidad on the
east, have been rendered imperative
by some agency which up to the
present time has been impossible 20
determine.
The circumstances indicate an
earthquake on the floor of the ocean.
but to AFFECT the cable lines through
out the breadth of the Indies, such a
disturbance would have to be remark
able for it's extent and severity.
No serious earthquages have been
reported from the seismograph station
nor have the meager reports from
points on the Island ofJamaica, where
the cables touch indicated an earth
quake on that island. It is possible,
however, that some electrical distur
bance similar to the Aurora Borealis
will eventually account for the trouble.
Jamaica has been visited by severe
storm, with accompanying floods and
this is all that can be learned of the
situation on that island. The only
islands with which telegraphic COM
munication can be had today are Cuba
and the shore station at Jamaica, Hol-
land bay. 1t is equally impossible to
reach the eastern islands Of the Indies
by way Of Eurp)ean Pernam, Buco
or Brazil.

INSURGENTS
Want MARSHALL
TO QUIT RACE

Bismarck, N. d., Nov 11.--Marshall
VS.. Miller is the insurgent, situation
here today. There is great deal of
agitation over the matter and local in
surgents want Marshall to stay out Of
the senatorial race and leave the field
TO Miller for the short rerIn and Gron-
ma for the long term.
1t is asserted that Marshall has fall
len away below par in the estimation
of the insurgents because of his fail
ure to land the vacancy appointment.
Some of the insurgents are inclined 20
blame The Fargo Forum for this fail
ure by it's exposure OF the alleged
MARSHALL -Gronna- Burke combine.
Whatever the cause, there is no
doubt but that Marshall is regarded
locally as a weak candidate. Miller
has announced his candidacy for the
senate and will make a hot fight. His
friends are behind him strongly.
