Especial to the Bonanza

ST. JOHNS Newfoundland /,
March 3.-Sir Robert Bond, premier
OF Newfoundland, announces that his
government has agreed upon con-
tract with the Commercial Gable
company by which the latter will ex-
tend one of it's cables into New
foundland and thence direct to New
York City. Mr.. Clarence H. Mackay,
president of the Commercial Cable
company, and of the Mackay COM
panies, upon being shown the above
telegram, said:
The report is correct We have
agreed to cut one of our five trans
Atlantic cables at point in the At
lantic known as the Flemish cap,
which is about 800 miles east OF
Newfoundland, and there attach to
the European end of the cable an en-
tirely new cable, which will extend
from the Flemish cap into st. Johns,
Newfoundland, and thence direct
from St. Johns to New York City
That is the ideal route for a cable
between Europe and America, be.
cause it divides into two sections
more equally than any other route
the entire distance from Ireland to
New York City. This will enable us
to operate the cable direct between
New York City and Ireland with
much greater accuracy and speed
the speed alone being increased ovel
35 per cent. We shall then have the
only cable in the Atlantic runnins
from Europe to Newfoundland anC
thence direct to New York.
1--WE probably would have laid oul
cables by that route in the beginning
If the Anglo-American Cable com
pany had not had exclusive landing
rights in Newfoundland. Thos,
, rights, which existed for fifty years
have expired, and so we are nov

making this change. 1t means the
purchase and laying of 100 miles of
new cable. After it is finished we
shall then have lying unused in the
bottom of the sea about 900 miles OF
cable, running from the Flemish cap
direct to Canso, Canada, that being
the portion of the cable now in use
which will be put out of use by this
new plan. Our cable ship will pick
up as much as it can of this 900
miles of cable and it will then be
resheathed and will be available for
use elsewhere. For two years we
have been studying this question and
carefully considering the change
from every point of view. 1t involves
a large expenditure of money, but we
shall expend it. The Commercial
Cable company is the premier COM
pany in the Atlantic ocean and we
propose to keep it so. We shall
spare no expense to give the fastest
and best service that submarine
cables are capable of, with all the
advantages of the most direct routes.
Never before in the history of
cables has 900 miles of a regularly
working cable been picked up from
the bottom Of the sea and the route
changed, simply for the sake of rails
ing the speed and increasing the con-
tinuity and reliability Of the service.
But that is what we propose to do,
and l wish to remark that do not
believe any government would ever
make any such change at such an
enormous expense simply for the
purpose of giving the public an i'm
proved service"
